February 15, 2013 - Love and Healing Mudras - Hope you don't mind me sending my Valentine a day late in the form of this heart mudra. I captured it with my computer's Web cam and am projecting my love out to you and all my readers. Love you!
Valentine's Day won't roll around again for another year but that shouldn't stop us from showing and telling others how much we love them every day of the year.
When my grandfather died on Valentine's Day several years ago it impacted me greatly. Sad, yes, but he left our family with the greatest lesson - the importance of LOVE and expressing our love as often as possible.
My husband's romantic ways shines on Valentine's Day as well as through out the year. Valentine's Day is not only for lovers... there are many types of loving relationships. My mother never fails to send me a valentine. I was also lucky yesterday because I was able to spend the day with my daughter and her brood, two of my three grandchildren (ages 4 and 19 months).
If you forgot to tell someone how much you loved them yesterday... it's okay. Do it today, it's not too late.
