Happy Valentine’s Day! On this international day of love, we often get caught up in greeting cards, chocolate, flowers, and making plans with that special someone. Those are all wonderful, but what if we could infuse each day with the same focus on sharing love? Further, what if we could extend that love to not only our romantic partner, family and friends, but to everyone around us?

This Valentine’s Day, I’d like to share the practices that have been most helpful for me in cultivating a loving heart, both in business and my personal life. My e-book, Practicing Love and Compassion: Daily Rituals to Transform Your Life and Relationships is filled with simple but effective ways to bring more love into your life. I hope you enjoy this Valentine’s Day gift, and I would love to hear what you think of these practices. Which ones work for you? Which do you find challenging? Do you have others that you practice regularly?

When we each bring more love into our lives at the individual level, we create a ripple effect. Together, we can co-create more compassionate communities, workplaces, and ultimately, a more love-filled world. I look forward to this journey with you!
