First of all, I want to I wish you a happy Valentine’s Day this week! Or for those of you who wish the whole thing would go away, just pretend I didn’t mention it. Our topic this month is self-love. Last week we talked about self-love for the mind and how emotions begin with thoughts, and why it’s so important to have control of that. This week we’re talking about self-love, for the heart.
My first suggestion is to reach out to loved ones, friends or family. Make plans to bask in their love, even if it’s just Zoom. I currently live in a place where I haven’t lived for very long, and so my families – both birth family and chosen family – are very far away. I don’t get to see them very often, and that’s, why I mention zoom. I suppose many of us are a little tired of zoom, but it does offer the chance to at least see the faces of the people that you love and to reach out to them. Being able to connect with them can really just do the heart a whole lot of good. Talk to them, laugh with them, reconnect, and let them love on you and let them let you love on them.
Another thing that is so good for the heart is to play with your pets or children. I have pets. I have two little girls, one’s named Riley, and one is Faith. They are both shelties, and I know that I can get down on the floor with those girls and love on them and hold them and be next to them. Fills my heart with joy and brings me such a sense of gratitude to the Divine that they are in my life.
I have lots of other suggestions for you. Check out my podcast, “The Angel Tarot Show” on mindbodyspirit.fm!

The Stuff That’s Hidden
I recently got back from a visit to the city I was born and raised in. My sister and her family still reside in Knoxville, Tennessee and I hadn’t been back there in years. But one of my nieces and my nephew have been “fruitful and multiplied” so I had three babies to...
The Unsuspecting Expert
I’ve been doing a lot of “nest feathering” in my little French cottage here in Colorado. That’s been a whole other kind of fascinating for me as I have been drawn to colors and textures and artsy things that frankly astonish me. My inner “introspection addict” is...
Life is Sooo Good
I talk to myself. I do it all the time. I’ve been working from home since 2001, so I had chalked it up to spending a lot of time in quiet spaces. But, I’m also starting to wonder if it’s more than that. That maybe… just maybe… sometimes me talking to myself is...
I Have Something to Confess …
So… I have something to confess. Something really weird that has been going on in my life since I moved back home to Denver. I’ve been keeping this on the downlow but I guess it’s time for me to “come out of the closet” one more time. I don’t even know how it...
Why Can’t Every Day Be April 7th?
Y’all know I am pretty good at full disclosure. However, I am gawd-awful at taking time off. Seriously, it’s problematic. Everyone says so. To give you a hint, I have been published 14 times over 12 years. My peers think I’m nuts. My publisher adores me. The first few...
