Dear All,
Have a sweet and caring Valentine’s Day with your loved ones. Along with flowers and chocolates, here are some thoughts to consider.
Valentine’s Day is a time for love, connection, and deep listening—not just with our ears but with our hearts.
Ultimately, it’s a day when words carry more meaning.
Think about when whispers of affection and acts of kindness speak louder than grand gestures.
For example, have you ever noticed the words hidden inside the word HEART?
They hold a powerful message about what it truly means to “hear with your heart.” Let’s have some fun exploring these words and what they teach us about love, listening, and connection.
HEAR – The Art of Listening with Love
You can’t spell heart without hear, and that’s no coincidence! In any loving relationship—romantic or otherwise—one of the greatest gifts you can give is your full attention.
- Have you ever been in a conversation where someone truly listened to you? Not just nodded along, waiting for their turn to speak, but actually heard you?
- That’s heart-centered listening. It’s what makes love flourish.
This Valentine’s Day, practice hearing not just words but emotions. When your partner, friend, or family member speaks, listen with curiosity, empathy, and presence. Your heart will thank you!
ART – Love is a Masterpiece
Hidden within heart is art—and love is one of the greatest masterpieces we create.
- Love is the art of understanding, the brushstroke of patience, the sculpture of forgiveness.
- Relationships, like great paintings, take time, layers, and effort.
- And just like art, love is expressed in many forms—words, actions, gestures, and even silence.
In other words, this Valentine’s Day, celebrate the art of love by expressing it creatively. Write a heartfelt note, cook a special meal, or even dance like no one’s watching.
Love, like art, is a shared experience..
EAR – The Gateway to the Heart
Tucked inside heart is ear—a reminder that truly loving someone means listening between the lines.
- Sometimes, love is not about what is said. Instead, it’s what is left unsaid.
- A sigh, a pause, a quiet tear—our ears help us notice the subtle language of the heart.
- By tuning in with our ears and hearts together, we can offer comfort, encouragement, and connection.
Want to make someone feel truly loved? This Valentine’s Day, lend your ear without distractions. Let someone talk. Let them be heard. And let love flow.
What Does This Mean for Valentine’s Day?
The magic of hearing with your heart isn’t just for couples exchanging chocolates and roses. It’s for anyone who wants to deepen their connections—with partners, friends, family, and even themselves.
- HEAR what matters most.
- Create ART in how you express love.
- Use your EAR to listen with empathy.
In conclusion, love isn’t just a feeling; it’s a practice, an art, and a conversation. So, this Valentine’s Day, listen closely—with your ears, heart, and love.
To your success💖

PS. Let’s all make this year one of caring for each other. That means caring about all of us rather than one of “JUBLA” (judgment, blame, or attack). You’ll be glad you shared your caring. Happy Valentine’s Day.
