Valentine’s Day is not a favorite holiday for most people. I can take or leave “Pepto-Bismol Day” quite frankly. We’re often told that diamonds are forever, chocolate equals love and that flowers will win her over. We’re somehow brainwashed into thinking that if we don’t have anyone to celebrate this day with, then we are “less than” and should feel bad about ourselves and/or depressed on February 14th. Even those of us who are in touch with our emotions, claiming to be smarter than the greeting card companies, sit and wonder……is this FTD bouquet coming into the office actually mine? And then, when it passes us by we STILL go home and keep our ears open just “in case” the doorbell happens to ring with our present from a secret admirer. Don’t think that married people have it any easier, because we have a whole new set of mental masturbation to conquer. Therefore we are bringing back…
SELF-LOVE DAY 2009
aka “Learning to Love ME”
February 13th, 2009
No more “how much do I love thees”… rather ask yourself the question, “how much do I love ME?” Even if you have someone on this special day, take the time to think about yourself, list your good qualities, have some positive perspective on who you are and treat yourself better than you ever have. This is a day to pamper yourself, be happy with who you are and declare yourself free from wondering if he went to Jared! Last year, everyone took one of the banners and posted it on their sites with their Self-Love Day blog post. Please feel free to do the same this year and if you’d like to pimp this out on your blog beforehand…that’d be funky fresh too! While normally we do this on Valentine’s Day each year, since the “high holy day of pink” falls on a Saturday (a day when most people do not blog), we’re celebrating a day early….cause we are freaking cool like that!
HERE ARE THE RULES!!!
1.) Post one of them thar banners on your blog and declare February 14th as the day you not only love your one and only, but the day that you love yourself! (For those of you who need help, all you do is right-click over the image of your choice then click on “save as” and save it wherever you want.)
2.) Post one nice thing about yourself……then ask others to post one thing that they really like about you.
3.) Enjoy yourself!
If you’d like to see an example of what the fuck I’m talking about, here is my Self-Love Day post from 2008, and here are some others.
I”ll remind you again on Thrusday!!! And just in case I wasn’t crystal clear, you can pimp the idea whenever you want but “SELF-LOVE POSTS” go up on V-Day itself.
Cinnamon Red Hott Kisses,
Me

This reminds me that I’ve been reading you for a year – because your post last year on self-love was the first I’d ever read! I knew then how lovable you were – and damn, is it true!
I am so doing this. Thanks!
