It is said that over $24 billion<\/em><\/strong> was spent in the United States on Valentine’s Day, this<\/em> week!<\/p>\n

In searching for the origin of this “day of love”, there are many stories concerning St. Valentine. The one that I heard the most (through the years) was that St. Valentine was martyred for his faith, but I’m not sure how that morphed into spending money on romantic relationships!<\/p>\n

The original intent re: celebrating love may have been good, but seems it’s turned into another commercialized frenzy and simply got people worldwide spending more money. sigh.<\/p>\n

The beauty of true love is choice!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Regardless, of what ya choose each year for Valentine’s, here’s my wish for you – whether you have a Valentine or not, may you know in your very core that you are so<\/em> deeply loved and held by The Divine…always.<\/p>\n

I’m reminded of a Scripture – Verse three of Chapter thirty-one in the Book of Jeremiah in the Holy Bible. It says, I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with lovingkindness.<\/p>\n

If you’re married, in a romantic relationship or situationShip or not\u00a0<\/em>be assured, you are loved with an everlasting, eternal, nevAH-evAH-ending, forever and always kind of love by Heaven. Maybe not by a human, but you are always<\/em> loved by Heaven.<\/p>\n

You Are So Deeply Loved by The Divine…AlwayS!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Common Day Hero:<\/span> <\/strong><\/em>Grateful beyond words to call you my childhood friend. You so readily welcomed me back into your life and I am so glad we reconnected so deeply at a heart-level.\u00a0 You’re a living Testament of the Kindness and Love of Yeshu, dear heart! I see it!
