Valentine's Day is about love.

It is not just a romantic holiday. It is a celebration of all forms of love. The kind of love I want you to address this year is gratitude.

Your Assignment:

Step 1: Think of a person who inspires you. Someone who is a positive influence in your life. Someone you are thankful for.

Step 2: Write them a letter expressing this gratitude and love.

Step 3: Ask yourself when was the last time you told them these words of gratitude?

Step 4: Give them the letter. Tell them how much you appreciate them!!!!! It's Valentine's Day after all.

Pura Vida! That’s what they say in Costa Rica when asked how they are doing. It means pure life. Isn’t that amazing? We usually say “pretty good, not bad or alright.” Well I have to say that my vacation was pure life! I got to appreciate all I do to support my life by just living and not doing anything else.

Two weeks away from the office was a big deal for me. I am not used to going away without taking a course or doing something business related. This really gave me a perspective on how I’m living my life. I had lots of time to think, be still and just be.

Of course I did not always do nothing but I sure enjoyed consciously being totally unoccupied for about a week. In week two I went kayaking in the mangrove swamp and saw wildlife including monkeys. I went on a canopy tour of the rainforest where we were rigged to zip lines and flew over the tree tops. Best of all I took a surfing lesson and rode waves for three hours.

Now that I’m home (and I am glad to be back) my system is more relaxed and my perspective of my life is fresh. Today I’m off to my Network Practitioner for a double entrainment. I want to anchor this relaxed state into my nervous system and teach my body that this is normal. I can hardly wait as I have not been entrained in three weeks!
