20. Celebrating Love In All It's Forms

Hey everyone, it's been an eventful week over here, and I'm thrilled to share some personal stories and thoughts on Valentine's Day with you all. First off, I had a cheerleading mishap a few years back that damaged my earlobe, but I've finally had it repaired and got my ears re-pierced, including a new helix piercing which, surprisingly, hasn't been painful at all. I also tried eyebrow lamination and tinting, which is a new experience for me, and I'm waiting to see how I feel about the darker look. On a more sentimental note, it's my golden doodle Pailin's 10th birthday. Reflecting on our time together, she's been with me through thick and thin, and I'm incredibly grateful for her companionship. It's amazing how much we've both grown and the unconditional love she's given me. With Valentine's Day around the corner, I want to shift the focus from the commercial aspect and talk about love in all its forms. Whether it's self-love, love for friends, family, or even strangers, it's important to recognize and celebrate it. I encourage you to be your own Valentine or to perform random acts of kindness to spread love to others. I've had my share of lonely Valentine's Days, but I've learned to make the day special by showing love to others. One year, I left $20 bills with notes for strangers to find, which brought me immense joy. So, whether you're single or in a relationship, make Valentine's Day about all the love in your life, not just romantic love. Remember, you have the power to make someone feel seen and loved. Let's use Valentine's Day as an opportunity to spread light and love in any way we can. And if you do something special or have ideas to share, I'd love to hear from you on Instagram. I hope you love this episode xoxo   Highlights: [00:00:34] Hoop earring mishap and earlobe repair. [00:03:53] A golden doodle ornament. [00:09:14] Love and motherhood.
