WHAT do you know?
Time flies, we have just welcomed the new year and now its Valentine’s Day. Some call this month the month of love… romantic love.
Can we focus on other forms of love just for a minute? Parental love, loving one’s neighbours, colleagues and most important, loving oneself.
We go through life looking for love from outside sources and only realise later in life that the most important love of all is the one we give to ourselves.
A few years ago, I decided with one of my close friends that we spoil ourselves on Valentine’s Day by going out for dinner and booking ourselves into a spa for a full body massage, facial, manicure, the works.
It was such a great feeling and taught us the importance of self-love.
On this Valentine’s Day, let us show love to the people around us and, most important, to ourselves.
Go out to a fancy restaurant, see a movie, buy that someone special a bunch of flowers or a box of chocolates.
Or prepare a scrumptious dinner at home – your partner will appreciate the effort.
This week’s recipe is a chocolate dessert inspired by love.
It is delicious and takes little effort to prepare. It’s bound to score you some brownie points.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
