For The Love Of Artists and Educators

Happy Valentine's Day

Artists, educators, writers, and creative souls continually share themselves from their hearts. It is like always being connected to something invisible that you are trying to help come through, be it a poem, a story, or some sort of project. Or perhaps you are trying to find that elusive something that will help you connect more fully to some young person you want to mentor. You can't help it; you just keep giving.

Valentine's Day is not just for lovers. It is a day we give a little appreciation to our tribe, our mentors, teachers, and students. This newsletter honors your gift of giving!

Valentine's Day brings back memories we cherish and invites new moments to share. Enjoy and share the sweetness of this day.

Valentine’s …A Gift To Cherish
by Trina Astor-Stewart
 
LOVE
Moments like this, 
Remembering Valentine’s
With loving wishes; the funny cards,
The smiles and surprises,
The warmth of one’s family and feeling blest,
What peace, what joyful times.
 
LOVE 
Melts the frozen globe, as it yields, 
And turns towards the light.
People pause, reaching out and standing up
With faces beaming
Surrounded, embraced, bathed 
In Heaven’s sunshine ever shining bright. 
 
LOVE
Sharing far-reaching, togetherness vibes
In every wish, in every loving touch.
Kindnesses offered, shared heart to heart.
Happiness is expressed… children laughing,
People dancing, music for the soul
Special, like YOU, loved so very much!

May you have lots of beautiful moments to share, and hopefully more than just a little chocolate!
