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.

It's no secret that a key to being a successful athlete is a positive mindset, but how do we get there, get past the self doubt and keep a positive attitude throughout the year even when unplanned obstacles are thrown our way?
.
.
Here is the answer: Separate fact from fiction - The more you feed your negative thoughts, the more power you give them. Most of our negative thoughts are just that — thoughts, not facts.
.
.
When you find yourself believing the negative and pessimistic things your inner voice says, it’s time to stop and write them down. Once you’ve taken a moment to slow down the negative momentum of your thoughts, you will be more rational and clear-headed in evaluating their veracity. You are amazing and can crush any goals you dream of - you just have to believe!
“Creativity doesn’t wait for that perfect moment. It fashions its own perfect moments out of ordinary ones.”

or maybe not...tried my hand at rainbow themed handmade chocolate bars today and if you look really closely, you'll see
they're even debossed with a message.

As a group of breast cancer survivors- we believe the concept of appearance for post op breast cancer victors should be revolutionized.
Present trend is to hide the loss with variety of dishonest and incriminating methods, as if to insinuate the problem never existed. Post-Op cancer victors should be encouraged to feel good about their appearance regardless of loss. No one should feel forced to hide the reality and fact they have fought a significant battle and won!
To refuse acknowledgment that cancer still continues effecting millions of women and men each year adds insult to injury. Society must not be lulled to think that the Breast Cancer is minimal or that it does not exist because huge numbers of effected women hide their scars or continue with additional surgeries and costs just to “feel” normal again.
In an attempt to change such common perceptions, we need assistance to put together a competent design/production team to create sensitive approach couture for breast cancer effected women which does not hide the facts but presents an intelligent, honest, positive mindset change.
We will not hesitate to come out, wear this attire and assume role model positions. We can look and feel beautiful without having to cheat our struggles. We feel the need for progressive presentation, made by a cultural icon who has the effective thrust we need to present this historic revolutionary idea of change to the hearts and minds of the people. While we locate our survivor models to make history are you ready to help us create the designs that will accommodate this victory?
We hope that by sharing this here, with the community we will be able to gain support and bring this dream to reality.
With Respect,
