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.

Θα έρθει η στιγμή που θα πεσεις, τοσο, που δεν θα υπάρχει πατος. Θα αναρωτιέσαι γιατί σε μένα. Κι όταν έρθει η συνειδητοποίηση, η αλήθεια σαν φως μπροστά στα μάτια σου, θα τρομάξεις. Θα νιώσεις τον κόσμο να χάνεται κάτω από τα ποδια σου. Και τότε θα αρχίσεις να κλαις. Θα έρθεις σε απόγνωση. Δεν θα ξέρεις από που να πιαστεις για να βάλεις σε μια σειρά τις σκέψεις σου. Μετά θα θυμώσεις με τους αλλους, με τη ζωή, με τον ίδιο σου τον εαυτό. Θα ψάξεις να πιαστεις από κάποιον ή από κάτι. Θα νιώσεις ενοχές για τα λάθη που έκανες απέναντι στους άλλους και απέναντι στον εαυτό σου. Θα πεθαινεις αργά και βασανιστικά. Όταν όλα αυτά σου συμβουν, σταματα για λίγο και δες μέσα σου αληθινά. Θυμωσε, θυμωσε πολυ, με όλους και με όλα. Ασε το θυμό να ξεχειλίσει σαν λάβα από ηφαίστειο μέχρι να σβήσει. Μην προσπαθεις να διώξεις τον φόβο, αγκάλιασε τον, σου υπενθυμίζει ότι είσαι άνθρωπος. Ένα πραγμα μόνο μην κάνεις. Μη βυθιστείς ΠΟΤΕ στις ενοχές σου. Μην αφήσεις κανέναν να σε κάνει να νιώσεις ένοχος, ουτε καν τον εαυτό σου. Μόνο αυτόν έχεις. Αγαπά τον. Αγκάλιασε τον όπως μια μητέρα το παιδι της. Δωσ'του ο, τι λαχτάρα σαν να είναι η μόνη σου έννοια. Συγχώρεσε τον για τα παραστρατηματα του. Κανε τον να νιώσει μοναδικός. Γιατί αυτό είσαι. ΜΟΝΑΔΙΚΟΣ. Κι όταν το δεις αυτό με την ψυχή σου, κανεις δεν μπορεί να σε νικήσει. Ουτε ο ίδιος ο θάνατος. Είσαι ελευθερος. Και παντα να θυμασαι οτι εκεί έξω υπάρχουν άνθρωποι που σ'αγαπούν όπως ακριβώς είσαι. Ένα πανεμορφο, μοναδικό χάος. Εχω την τυχη να έχω τέτοιους ανθρωπους στη ζωή μου και οι περισσοτεροι είναι "ξενοι".Και όλα αυτά που γράφω δεν είναι θεωρίες παρμενες απο καποιο βιβλίο είναι η αλήθεια της ζωής μου και θέλω να την μοιραστω.
How to Increase Self-Love and Improve Your Relationships

Healthy relationships aren’t just built on love; they’re rooted in self-love. Learn how increasing self-love will improve your relationship in powerful ways, and change how you see yourself.
April 12, 2020: I’m combining my latest #book post with my daily selfie. Why? Because as I finished @shannonkaiserwrites transformative book, THE SELF LOVE EXPERIMENT, I started to #cry uncontrollably. My dog even jumped up onto the bed to see if I was ok - and since I was already holding my phone I took several #photos. Tears were replaced by a sense of calm and acceptance came over me: I was going to be okay. But the breakdown was partly due to the pent up tensions over the last week, related to old habits and fears that have had me paralyzed. And it happened as she read the closing remarks of the book (I’ve been listening to the audio book version as read by Kaiser herself), which was in the form of a letter...
“Dear Self,
I promise to love you for all that you are, as you are. I will always adore and honor your true needs. I trust you and know that you always have my best interest at heart. I am committed to self-care and showing up fully. I will be patient and trust that the timing is always right and everything is in divine order. I will choose hope and stay optimistic because I believe in our potential. I don’t have to force anything, or work so hard to figure things out, or change what is; you are enough as you are, and I love you for all that you have been, all that you are, and all that you are becoming. I love you.
Love, Me.”
These are the kinds of words I don’t normally speak to myself. But they are words I’ve needed to hear. They are words I’ve needed to say to myself, with reverence, kindness and care for myself. I loved this book for the clear, straightforward and even colloquial manner with which Kaiser shares her messaging. It’s deeply profound, well researched and tied together so much of what I’ve already been learning through other works I’ve read this year but with a clear focus on the importance of self worth. In short, I can’t recommend this book enough.
It’s been 0 days since my last emotional breakdown. And this #photo is a part of my subverted selfie project of 2020, photo 103/366.

For FGR and I'm a poser
Today's FGR theme is a bit vague, not sure how to take it. So I thought i'd try to give it multiple explanations:
- Self love: I never really liked my tummy, thought it was to chubby. It still kinda is but even now with the marks of my pregnancy, I learned to love it, cause it's part of me.
- It's a naked tummy...there ya go with the nakedness ;)
*also for GTWL: Rule of thirds.

The Girls Auto Clinic is no standard auto repair operation. Just off West Chester Pike in the Philadelphia suburb of Upper Darby, this garage is run by a woman, staffs virtually all women and tailors everything it does around the needs of women.
April 19, 2020: Still battling this upset stomach bug but improving I think. I shaved today. Small victories although I missed spots. Small failures but I can live with it. I love my baby blue eyes. Oh... I also have a craving for @cottoalmare meatballs. They’re insanely good.
It’s been 5 days since my last emotional breakdown.

The first time wearing new shoes out is always special to me. Especially when they're hot pink patent leather!
I meant to do my work today
But a brown bird sang in the apple tree,
And a butterfly flitted across the field,
And all the leaves were calling me.
And the wind went sighing over the land,
Tossing the grasses to and fro
And a rainbow held out its shining hand-
So what could I do but laugh and go?
-Richard le Galliennp
Graphite on paper, 11"x14" (?), 2018 by Nancy Polo.
Capturing my best friend, a person who has offered me solace in my worst moments, is a process. This drawing is the first step. I've taken comfort in the curves of her laughter and body since we were girls. The safest I've felt is sleeping side by side, knowing that in the morning we would find a way to make each other laugh when the world had gone to shit. There's not a brush broad or gentle enough, and a pencil feels too rough, to convince her she's beautiful just as she is. We've both lived our entire lives wanting to please others, especially men. We work so hard to put our best face forward feeling like all eyes are on us, but knowing we cast the cruelest gaze upon our own bodies.
April 20, 2020: I have so much to do, I got overwhelmed by it again. My stomach is still in knots, but it’s not as bad as it was on Friday. So that’s not helpful. I slept most of this morning which was helpful. I held my little girl for awhile and that was helpful. It reminded me of the importance of hugging meditation as a way of showing reverence and kindness for myself and this life. I have to finish an exam today and finish writing the dean and one other teacher. I’ve told several close friends about this that I feel like if I don’t finish it today I’m letting them down now, not just myself. I also have to cut my Mum’s lawn, I was gonna have done that on Saturday but was so sick. It’s grown very thick that if I leave it longer it will be a huge chore. I can do this. It’s time to find that hustle I know I have. It’s part of this growth I’m on. Time to practice what I’ve preached.
My game plan: do the multiple choice portion of the exam now. Review the essay. Write the teacher about the project for that class. Cut the grass. Have dinner. Do essay. Finish letter to dean. Thank myself by meditation before bed.
It’s been 6 days since my last emotional breakdown.
