“Ignore the glass ceiling and do your work. If you’re focusing on the glass ceiling, focusing on what you don’t have, focusing on the limitations, then you will be limited.”
-Ava DuVernay
Since 2012 I have taken it upon myself to embark upon the some might say foolhardy endeavour to wrestle Valentine’s Day away from its saccharine, cellophane wrapped cliches into a festival of love which is about all kinds of love, just like those wise old ancient Greeks told us
I decided to do that the first year by dashing around London with my mates Asif and Chris dispensing home-made Valentine Day cards, cakes and other love themed items to unsuspecting strangers. It was amazing. You can see a little film of that day here: vimeo.com/58022085
Since then, every year, I put a shout out on social media to anyone who knows anyone who would appreciate a card to remind them that they are loved. So far, I have made and posted 600 Valentine’s cards. I have also covered railings, phone boxes, windows and park benches with paper hearts, chalked love poems onto roads and written love poems with seniors in sheltered housing.
if you see this, and you fancy it, join in!
Write to someone you love who you might not tell enough, someone who needs to be reminded that they are loved, especially if they are lonely or having a difficult time at the moment. Could be your partner, your sibling, your best friend, your nan, your newsagent, your teacher . Think about who might need this the most right now. You can write a letter, postcard, hand make a card, send a postcard, the “rules” are:
The “Rules”
Post it with an actual stamp if this is possible for you- why? Just because it is so much nicer getting stuff that isn’t bills through the post.
Take your time with what you want to say and make it personal, think about how they will feel when they receive it (obvious I know but we all do things too quickly sometimes)
Ask them to pass the love on by writing in turn to someone they love and telling them so, and so beginning a love chain, which may, if we are lucky, never end, reminding us all of who we love and how much we are loved
(if you need it, here are some suggested words: “hope you like your message- I am trying to do my bit to pass love around the world- if you can please write to someone you love too, and we can keep this love chain travelling round the world and make sure everyone knows how much they are loved”
Summing up (because I know I go on a bit!)
1.Write to someone and tell them you love them. Post or hand deliver your message.
2.Ask them to do the same
3.Remind yourself of the things you love about yourself too*
* Let’s not forget this one : philautia (self love): as well as writing to someone to tell them you love them, take a moment this V Day to think about what you love about yourself. This can feel squirmy sometimes, try just thinking of 3 things to start with (3 is a magic number) that you love about yourself. If you find it hard to think of things, that’s ok, ask a good friend to help you think of things. Loving ourselves is important too.

“the new moon in Aquarius rolls up the hill,
collecting energy with every spin, only to
come rushing down, faster than you can run
.
how are you fearing up my Dear Child?
holding your breath in tight, I see now!
let go of the grip and exhale all that
.
the energies will dip down and go up,
over and over again, hold on Dear Ones,
this is not a wrecking ball, it is a trapeze
.
you are learning how to navigate a new
reality, for many this will be a time of
great discomfort and yes, pain at times
.
for others, this is just a walk in the park,
or the circus if you might, for they have
done their homework and now, they fly
.
this new moon creates a path for all that
is new and fresh, no longer stale you awake
to all that could be, but is not quite here yet
.
it all builds up and brings you into the next
month when the Big Bang will rattle some,
but those aligned will see the portal ajar
.
the Spring equinox of 2021 is a true vortex,
offering you a chance to spring into a new,
higher timeline, but there is a catch of course,
.
you have to be willing to let go of the ropes
holing you down and trust the divine plan
to unfold in the precise way you had drawn
.
I see some are surprised to hear that, yet, it is
YOU, your higher self, who orchestrated ALL
that is unfolding and that which is yet to come
.
many of the events may seem hard, even
cruel at times, but know this my Dear Ones,
every single one is designed with YOU in mind,
.
what you perceive to be a punishment of sorts,
is simply here to wake you up and jolt you into
the most optimum timeline for you to thrive
.
we understand this is hard to see from where
you now stand, hence we ask you again to trust
the plan, which YOU helped chart beforehand” sth

Since 2012 I have taken it upon myself to embark upon the some might say foolhardy endeavour to wrestle Valentine’s Day away from its saccharine, cellophane wrapped cliches into a festival of love which is about all kinds of love, just like those wise old ancient Greeks told us
I decided to do that the first year by dashing around London with my mates Asif and Chris dispensing home-made Valentine Day cards, cakes and other love themed items to unsuspecting strangers. It was amazing. You can see a little film of that day here: vimeo.com/58022085
Since then, every year, I put a shout out on social media to anyone who knows anyone who would appreciate a card to remind them that they are loved. So far, I have made and posted 600 Valentine’s cards. I have also covered railings, phone boxes, windows and park benches with paper hearts, chalked love poems onto roads and written love poems with seniors in sheltered housing.
if you see this, and you fancy it, join in!
Write to someone you love who you might not tell enough, someone who needs to be reminded that they are loved, especially if they are lonely or having a difficult time at the moment. Could be your partner, your sibling, your best friend, your nan, your newsagent, your teacher . Think about who might need this the most right now. You can write a letter, postcard, hand make a card, send a postcard, the “rules” are:
The “Rules”
Post it with an actual stamp if this is possible for you- why? Just because it is so much nicer getting stuff that isn’t bills through the post.
Take your time with what you want to say and make it personal, think about how they will feel when they receive it (obvious I know but we all do things too quickly sometimes)
Ask them to pass the love on by writing in turn to someone they love and telling them so, and so beginning a love chain, which may, if we are lucky, never end, reminding us all of who we love and how much we are loved
(if you need it, here are some suggested words: “hope you like your message- I am trying to do my bit to pass love around the world- if you can please write to someone you love too, and we can keep this love chain travelling round the world and make sure everyone knows how much they are loved”
Summing up (because I know I go on a bit!)
1.Write to someone and tell them you love them. Post or hand deliver your message.
2.Ask them to do the same
3.Remind yourself of the things you love about yourself too*
* Let’s not forget this one : philautia (self love): as well as writing to someone to tell them you love them, take a moment this V Day to think about what you love about yourself. This can feel squirmy sometimes, try just thinking of 3 things to start with (3 is a magic number) that you love about yourself. If you find it hard to think of things, that’s ok, ask a good friend to help you think of things. Loving ourselves is important too.
