February makes us think of Valentine's Day and love. But before anything we get all distracted by the marketing frenzies of how to show our love to our loved ones and even what to do to get their attention. Chocolates, flowers, greeting cards, lingerie, sex and diamonds...oh my! The sad part is that we even expect them! What is Valentine's Day anyway?

To me Valentine's Day is about celebrating LOVE. Honoring the power of LOVE. To know that with Love, we can overcome any obstacles because nothing can get in the way of Love. I mean not just "I love you, You love me" kind of love but LOVE that encompasses and embraces everything, the good and the bad alike.

Who is your Valentine this year? How about "You"? Why? Because "You" are the most treasured and beloved person in your life. Your presence gives us pleasure and honor to know and experience the uniqueness only "You" can bring to this world. Do you feel very small and insignificant in this whole wide world (or the universe, the cosmos...)? But no one and nothing can replace who "You" are. That's how special and significant "You" are.

Starting this Valentine's Day, better yet starting now, remember to place yourself on the top of your loved ones list. You are worthy of the greatest gift which is the most Divine love, radiating from the depth of your being and it is your birth right. You own it!

More love and appreciation you have for yourself, and more respect you give yourself, more of the same will come your way from outside as well. People will feel and sense the change in you and they will start treating you the same way you treat yourself. Not only your life will change but you will be inspiring others to do the same without saying a word but through your own actions.

Give yourself a hug and say "Thank Godness, I am my GodSelf !"

Namaste.

Harmoniously,
