“All you need is love. But, a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.” – Charles M. Schulz
Wishing you a happy Valentine’s Day. And a happy Gal-entine’s day! You are loved.
In my life, I try to be lovely vs. beautiful. Beauty is often seen on the outside. Lovely has the root love. It means eliciting love by ideal worth. They are related words that are often interchangeable in women’s conversations. But, to me, lovely has so much more significance.
As a women, we are judged by so many inside and outside metrics. Our worth can often feel tied up in other people. Whether as friends, partners, caregivers, employees, parents, siblings, or children; we tend to take on tasks to serve others.
I want you to know that you are lovely! You are worthy! And, you are loved.
