If you are not particularly bothered about the overrated ceremonial aspect of the card giving, chocolate eating and champagne sipping candle-lit dinners, at least you will relate to the theme of Love. Love in all forms that is. Love is all about compassion, giving, kindness to yourself first, and then to others ( see the previous post) . Long and short of it, love God who created you, love yourself very, very well first, so you can love others freely also. The true meaning of Love? See below
and as customary on seasonal occasions, here is a selection of 7 songs/music for your enjoyment.

Join me on a Google Hangout at 12pm EST. Video will be available for replay if you miss it. I will be discussing with some other wonderful bloggers on the ‘Metamorphosis of Love’
Join our ‘Metamorphosis of Love’ hangout on Valentine’s Day
The topic to be discussed is the metamorphosis or evolution – if you will – of love or its perception from the African woman’s context. What were you taught about love as a young woman, and how did those concepts change if at all in various stages of life and with different experiences?
