Valentine’s Day Feb 14 2026

 

Many people love Valentine’s Day because it is a chance to share love in February which is often cold and isolating in the north.  Some men find it a great time to propose to the person that they want to spend the rest of their life with.  For some folks, it is a chance to party.  Regardless of how you feel about the day, here is my wish for you.

Valentine’s Day Wish

May your day start with gentleness and a hot cup of coffee or tea.

May you feel the warmth of Mother Earth as she holds you and every person on Earth, in her nurturing.

May you move gracefully through the day, allowing any challenges or road blocks to slip peacefully away.

May you be filled with loving kindness and be well and happy!

Blessings,

Judy

Holding The Light

One of the most difficult things to do, I think, is to hold the light every minute of the day, especially when you have to work at a job where this may be difficult.  

Light in this case is defined as goodness, kindness, respect, integrity, unconditional love, and compassion.  The person is without ego, goes with the flow, and lives in gracefulness, without judgement and criticism of others.  Some folks are lucky to be born in this state and to hold it through out life.  Others of us have to work at it.

How do you find ways to keep your light present when people are arguing, or back stabbing, or even crying?

Blessings,

Judy

Changing Habits

Changing ourselves involves learning how to develop those states, behaviors, and dispositions that are healthy, while allowing the unhealthy ones to atrophy from neglect.    - Andrew Olendzki, "Turning the Corner"

 

While I think the quote clearly states how one can change a pattern or a habit, perhaps a bit more explanation is required.  

If  a person is a smoker and smokes twenty cigarettes a day, the only way that they will change to not smoking is to slowly drop smoking a cigarette a day until there are no cigarettes to smoke.  The habit of smoking is erased by neglecting to smoke the maximum number of cigarettes per day.

The urge may still be there and will disappear if the now non-smoker ignores it.

Blessings,
