Greetings!
When I think of Valentine's day, I usually think of candy first honestly! But, then I think of the meaning of love and all of its forms. Caregiving is perhaps one of the most serious and least selfish forms of love.
Our newsletter for Valentine's Day is about nurturing yourself, honoring yourself, and taking good care to ensure healthy hearts.
We wish you all a lovely Valentine's Day!
