Be My Galentine

I’m super into the idea of friends celebrating each other on Valentine’s Day. Women are such natural and loving connectors, most of all to each other. I apologize for being heteronormative, I’m only speaking from my personal perspective; obviously all beings love to love. But, I really dig the whole Galentine thing. No one should ever feel less than for being single, and deep, loving friendships are wonderfully life giving. I adore my close girlfriends and being with them is always a joy. Friends going on a date on Love Day is awesome. This year I have learned to befriend myself in ways I never thought possible. Inner child work, meditation, and my chaplaincy curriculum have taught me incredible ways to reach myself. I talk to myself the way I address my kids and friends; with great tenderness, support, calm, adoration, and unconditional love. It’s taken my whole life to get here. This look represents my friendship with Me. Sweet, soft, cozy, and girly. I’m much yummier with myself lately. I’m learning what it means when I hear “your relationship with yourself is the most important one you’ll ever have”. A granny sweater, shades of pink, and a barrette were just what I needed to be in to show myself a lil love.
