Valentine’s Day is a holiday usually dedicated to a special someone who holds your heart, but this year don’t forget to celebrate love in all aspects of the word! Whether it’s self-love,  good friends, or family, there is always something to celebrate.  Don’t focus on what you do not have, rather think about all the amazing people and things your life is filled with!  Maybe you started a new job or maybe your friends helped get you through a rough time.  No matter what is going on in your life, there is always something to be thankful for and that is what you should toast to!

It’s important to celebrate, YOU!  That’s right, I said it.  Self-love and acceptance is key to your overall health and happiness, and why shouldn’t you take a day to embrace the person you’ve become?!  Be proud of who you are and all that you have accomplished.  You may not be exactly where you want to be, but you’re on the right path.  Self discovery is an important part of life that helps you learn and grow during your journey.  When you have love for yourself, you are truly ready to let love in.

There are many feelings people have towards Valentine’s Day, but I hope this year you will think of it in a new light.  Get some girlfriends together and have a ladies night or spend it with your best friend and favorite pup.  No matter who or what you are celebrating this Valentine’s Day, be proud and show your love and appreciation to those who really make a difference in your life!  Love is all around, it’s just a matter of how you define it.
