Dear ones,
It's that wonderful month of year again where we celebrate
Love. Everyone can use the tips in this newsletter to
create more love. I wrote this 3 years ago and revised it
for this week. Pass it on to anyone you know who wants
more love.
Warmest regards,

10 Tips for Singles to Survive and Thrive on Valentine’s
Day
Do you feel all alone and out of sorts on Valentine’s Day
when you're not in a relationship? Use these suggestions
to reframe your experience and set the stage for what you
want to attract for yourself. Here are 10 things you can
do to make it a great day for you.
1. Spend some time thinking of the loves you have known in
the past. Are you holding any anger or grudges towards
them? If so, spend some time releasing those feelings.
Write a letter of forgiveness to the person, which you can
choose to send or not. Be open and willing to forgive.
Forgiveness gets you off the hook and frees you from a
toxic bond that keeps you stuck in attachment to that other
person. It doesn’t say what they did was okay, just that
you aren’t going to hang on to feelings that are attached
to the past and that hurt you more than the other person.
Forgiveness opens the door to your heart and creates a
space and loving emotional tone.
2. Spend at least 5 minutes a day in front of the mirror
and tell yourself that you love yourself, exactly as you
are now. To attract a healthy, loving relationship we must
love ourselves first.
3. Think about the people that are part of your world that
could use some extra attention and affection because they
are alone. Is there someone you know that you could call
and say I love you? Or send them a card? Giving what you
want to receive sets the Law of Reciprocity in motion.
4. Set an intention to have a loving day and to
participate as fully as you possibly can in loving rituals.
Be your own valentine for the day. What would you want
to receive today - flowers, chocolates, and a loving card?
Buy them for yourself!
Create as much as possible the Valentine’s Day you
would want to have if you were in a relationship. That’s
telling the universe what you intend to have in your life
and gets you into the feeling level of the goal, which is a
key way to attract what you desire.
5. Celebrate with a friend. It is much more fun to be in
the spirit of the day than to stay home feeling sorry for
yourself. Ask one or more friends to go out and do
something special with you.
6. Dress up. Act as though you are going on a date. You
are, only it is with yourself! Dress, do your hair and
make-up as if you were going out with the person of your
dreams. If you treat yourself with this loving attention,
you will feel the excitement of the day and that will send
you out in the right frame of mind to have a great time.
7. When you are at the restaurant or wherever you have
chosen to go, notice the couples and bask in all the love
that is being expressed. Soak it in and let it permeate
you and keep you open to it. It will remind you of what
you desire and give you concrete evidence that it is
possible to have. Maybe you are not part of a couple
today, but you could be tomorrow and this will help you be
ready.
8. Be grateful for all the people you love now or have in
the past -your friends, family and loved ones.
Appreciation opens our hearts, puts us in a very positive
frame of mind and says a great big “Thank you” to the
universe. Appreciation means “to increase in value” and we
are much more likely to receive our heart’s desire when we
appreciate what we do have.
9. Use today to recommit to what you really want in a
relationship. Make a list of all the qualities that are
important to you in a partner. Write out ten to thirty
qualities or so and then read them over each day to remind
you of what you intend to attract. Give thanks that this
person is on the way to you.
10. Now spend some time visualizing yourself in a
relationship with this ideal person.
What would it feel like to be in this relationship? What
activities would you like to
do? If you would be living together, what is your home
like? What’s your favorite restaurant? See yourself
having a romantic candlelight dinner with your man or
woman. What are you eating? What are you wearing? What
places would you go?
Get in touch with whatever sensory experiences you can
create. Perhaps there’s a cologne or perfume that you
enjoy. Smell that. What does it feel like to walk
hand-in-hand or to be held in the arms of this person?
This process of visualizing and acting “as if” is
another tool to create the life of your dreams.
