Nothing Says LOVE like YOUR Time!

February 14, 2009

Maybe it’s because we have less money to spend than usual. Maybe I’m tired of all these holidays where advertisers are begging you to buy their stuff. But I’m tired of adding to this American consumerism during the holidays and while I believe in stimulating the economy, I don’t believe in spending $4 on a card to tell someone I love them.

So for this Valentine’s day, I bought my kids all a $1 Chunky bar and .50 card. I’ll be away from half of my family today, but I plan on taking them each out when I get back and spending some quality time alone with them. Last time I took my oldest to the store with me and bought him lunch, it was really good for our relationship. Each of my kids needs alone time with me! And I think that’s the best gift I can give!

From the day I received my first diary in the second grade, I've had a passion expressing myself through writing. Later as a journalist and novelist, I realized words, if used powerfully, have the ability to touch, stir, and reach from the depths of one soul to another. Today as a writing and health coach, I inspire others to live their extraordinary life and encourage them to share their unique stories.
