Dear friends,
On this Valentine’s Day, I want to take a moment to celebrate love in all its forms—the love we share with others, the love that surrounds us, and most importantly, the love we offer ourselves.
Love isn’t just about romance. It’s a force that moves through everything—through acts of kindness, through the way we listen to and uplift one another, and through the unseen miracles that unfold when we trust the journey. Love connects us to each other, to our stories, and to something greater than ourselves. When we embrace love as a guiding force, we begin to recognize the miracles that were always there, waiting for us to see them.
Think about a time when love, in its purest form, showed up unexpectedly.Maybe it was a kind word from a stranger at just the right moment. Or a synchronicity that reminded you that you’re exactly where you need to be. Love is the foundation of all miracles.
As writers, as creators, and as human beings, self-love is the most important gift we can give ourselves. It’s what allows us to show up fully in our lives, to express our truth, and to trust our voice. And yet, it’s often the hardest love to embrace.
We question ourselves. We compare. We hold ourselves to impossible standards. But what if, just for today, you chose to speak to yourself the way you would a dear friend? What if you could write without self-judgment, simply for the joy of it?
Writing is an act of self-care. It allows us to hear ourselves more clearly, to process our emotions, and to remind ourselves of what truly matters. When we write from a place of self-love, our words take on new meaning. They become a bridge—between who we were and who we are becoming.
This Valentine’s Day, I invite you to pause and reflect. What would you say to yourself if you were writing from a place of unconditional love?
Take a moment to write a love letter to yourself.
What do you appreciate about who you are today?
What encouragement do you need to hear?
What is one thing you will embrace with more love moving forward?
You might be surprised at the wisdom and kindness that flows from your pen when you allow yourself the space to truly listen.
Stay tuned—big changes are unfolding! In my next update, I’ll share:
My most recent experiences on my Odyssey of Trust
A recap of the Author Mentorship Bootcamp Retreat (which was absolutely incredible!)
How Murphy’s Law showed up for me recently—yet a most beautiful miracle signifying love and joy arrived just when I needed it most.
There’s so much happening, and I can’t wait to share it with you!
Finally I want you to know that I love you and I have a question.
Will you be my Valentine?
With love and gratitude,
Junie
