Valentines – Plan the Day

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

A person can get another relationship, but not another “each other”.

It’s just a few days until the annual celebration of romance is before us. Will you choose to approach this Valentine’s Day intentionally? Or not?

Will you see the day as an opportunity to show your Valentine that they are your priority?  Or not?

Will you choose to spend just a little time to make this Valentine’s Day not necessarily extraordinary, just not ordinary? Or not?

Grand gestures won’t carve your name on their heart nearly as much as your tenderness and thoughtfulness will.

From my own experience, wooing starts best in the bloom of the day, followed by one or two surprise whispers of love as Valentine’s Day fully blossoms.  As you design the day, imagine how you’d like Valentine’s Day….and the night to unfold.

Perhaps you’ll start the day by softly sweeping the hair from their brow and presenting them with the perfect cup of morning coffee, a paper and your shared excitement about the day.

Mid-day could be a simple phone call to remind each of you of the love you share.

Evening plans can be as elaborate or as simple as you choose.   Without a lot of fuss, you could invite your Valentine to a cozy fireside dinner or a “carpet picnic” in your living room. Prepare your own specialty.  Or opt for takeout at your local market and tell “Deli- guy” that it’s your night to cook!

Will the dress code for your soiree be evening gown and “tails”, or provocative “PJ’s’?

As the evening progresses, will you test the waters by lighting candles and drawing a fragrant, bubbly bath for the two of you?  Or play a love song and slow dance in the foyer?  Maybe a soothing massage is  more your style.

I offer these ideas just to ignite your own imagination. It’s all very affordable. On this special day, face it, can you afford not to woo the one you love?

In these busy times…

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

In my mind, a good life is measured by the quality of our relationships with others.  Where we live, how we live and what we do all pale in comparison to how we express our love to others. In my  personal experience as well as through my beside-nurse eyes and ears last words and good-byes almost always consist of “I Love You.”

To love intentionally has an immeasurable effect upon the world we live in and that which is far beyond our understanding. 

Love’s language is often expressed in the form of
a quick silver grin,
a twinkling glance,
the briefest movement of a hand,
an almost imperceptible nod…
These are the silent words of love;
a powerful language known only in
those most precious relationships of our lives.

They can say “I’m on your side” or
“I’m proud of you” or simply “I love you.”
They are expressions of appreciation, joy and
understanding; silents words that give us
confidence and strength.

My passion, my company (Loving Heart, LLC) and my line of  jewelry are about expressing love and concern for others, much like my career in nursing. In fact I’d like to think that I am nursing the hearts of others everyday as these little creations serve others through the years. 

Harnessing the power of love and being reminded of the love of another each day is the concept behind The Loving Heart Collection by Jean Schnaak®.

Loving Hearts, simple and elegant by design, accompany a person where ever he or she travels and act as powerful messages of love, caring and encouragement when shared between sweethearts, friends and family members. 

In these busy times… consider how you express your love to those who are important to you.  I plan to everyday.
