Longing by Matthew Arnold is one of my favorite poems. Perfect for today if you are missing someone especially if this special person has passed away.
This is one of my all time favorite love songs: On the Wings of Love by Jeffrey Osborne

I wish for all of you a love filled Valentine's Day, my friends.
Happy Valentine's Day, my friends. I hope you enjoy your day and know you are always loved! I did get a chance to bring treats for Jake and me. Pretty cupcakes for the day. We ate some yesterday, and they were delicious!!
I took ballet as a child; I wasn't the best dancer. But one of the lovely things that came out of studying dance is my appreciation for classical music. I danced to Fascination as a girl, and my mom says it was one of my best performances at my dance recital. I have always loved this song; it makes me feel full of romance—a perfect piece for this love-filled day. Enjoy, my friends.
Hello, my friends. I am wishing you all a wonderful Valentine's Day.
If you are in the mood for a Valentine's Day Reading, go here to my latest card reading video. I am also doing live readings on my Instagram tonight at 7pm est. You are welcome to come. Please come early because the spots go fast.
Happy Valentine's Day, my friends. Here I am peeking in to say hello.
Being the romantic I am, I am sharing a new romantic discovery. No, not Bridgerton. If you haven't watched it, please do.
It is a wonderful show. I am very happy to see more actors of color being able to do more period pieces. The 1971 BBC version of Persuasion is my delightful discovery. Persuasion is my favorite Jane Austen book. I saw the 2007 version of Persuasion which I like, I have to still see the 1995 version. I found the 1971 version on you tube.
This is Anne Elliot (Ann Firbank) she has finally seen the love of her life, Captain Frederick Wentworth, after seven years apart. She was persuaded by her godmother, Lady Russell, not to marry him. Captain Wentworth hasn't forgotten her refusal of marriage and still hold a grudge. This is the gist of the story. It is a deep and beautiful love story. When I first began watching the mini series, I didn't like it at first. It is very much like a play, after a while I really enjoyed it. It is very faithful to the book. Now, I love it!
I don't want to give too much away. This is Anne and Captain Wentworth (Bryan Marshall) reunited briefly in a sweets shop. This is
the first inkling that the lovers may have a second chance.
It is a great ensemble cast. All the actor embody the characters to me. I adore Ann Firbank and Bryan Marshall's Anne and Frederick. Sadly, Bryan Marshall passed away in 2019. Here is a fun Star Wars fact that makes me love the series is even more. Ann Firbank plays a small yet memorable part in the Rise of Skywalker ending. Makes it a full circle moment for me. If you are really interested, I have the first part of Persuasion to watch. Part 2 is also on you tube.
Happy Valentine's Day, my friends.I am late posting this. The past two weeks have been seriously filled with added family responsibilities. I am relearning how to balance these new changes. Still, I had a lovely Valentine's Day. Tonight, I am reading a sweet Valentine Regency...
Valentine's Day is truly a day to celebrate all kind of love. Still I want to highlight romantic love fort his post. This is one of my favorite love
songs. I have loved this song since I was 13.
It speaks to my romantic soul. I hope you all enjoy
Sending you all the best and brightest
on Valentine's Day.

Happy Valentine's Day, my fellow Dreamers. It is a special Valentine's Day this year. It falls on Friday which is always a day of love and on the Full Moon. Wow, that equals beautiful love energy swirling and sparkling in the air.
Valentine's Day is a day of love. Yes, Romantic..you makemefeelspecialkind of love. I also feel it's a day of love in all forms. Love between friends, family, parents, children, animals. Celebrate all the love you have in your life.
Tonight is the Full Moon is dazzling and star shining Leo. Leo energy is passionate, fiery and show stopping. All my Leo sun and moon babies, this is your own special Valentine's Day Moon. The Full Moon energy can be used by all of us. Since the energy of The Full Moon stays around for three days: the day before, the day of the Full Moon and the day after, you have three days to swim in all love energy revved up.
Here is a simple way to honor yourself and all that you love on this Full Moon.
Get a candle. Pink or red for the Valentine's Day energy or Yellow/Gold for the Leo Full Moon. Get a favorite flower, piece of candy or fruit you like. Before you light the candle, smell the flower, eat a piece of candy or the fruit. Savor the smell or taste of this favorite object. Then with all that sweet energy you feel from doing this, light your candle. Say a thank you to the Divine for all the people you love in your life. (Only all the good people who shower you with positive and kind love.)
Then you are done. Please include yourself in that thank you, because self-love is one of the most beautiful forms of love my friends!
I am wishing you all a wonderful Valentine's Day. If no one has told you today, I will tell you. I love you. You are special and deserve all the best and brightest in life! Have a glorious weekend.
