Happy Valentine’s Day! I used to dislike this pseudo-holiday. I saw it as a marketing-created day, where it was all about selling stuff. A day made for couples, excluding everyone else. Then, I turned it around and began to look at it differently. What if we look at is as a day for sharing our love with the people we care about, no matter their relationship to us? A chance to pause and say, “I care about you. You mean something to me. You are valued.” I saw so much worth in that. Forget the diamonds and chocolates and flowers, just focus on sharing the love.

This video, Evidence of Love, is made to do just that – Share the Love. I want it to bring warmth to your heart and a smile to your face. Feel free to pass it on to those you care about, remembering this quote: “Love grows when shared.”

I’m SO excited to also share, there is an interview on the Photo-Heart Connection posted today on Go Inspire Go. A video interview. If that’s not out of my comfort zone, I don’t know what is! But it was really great fun to have Tea with Toan Lam, the creator of Go Inspire Go, and share my love and excitement for the Photo-Heart Connection. I invite you to come by and visit.

The final sharing of today – who won the Market/Wheels Giveaway? Out of 31 comments, the winner is #11 Holly (aka soupatraveler). Congrats to Holly! She’ll receive the matted print of her choice from my RedBubble shop.

Thank you all so much for your thoughtful feedback on the Market/Wheels series. It was very interesting to see which images resonated with you! The leading images were, by a large margin, Mobile Display and From Water to Wheels. Runners up were Carriage Display, Creperie, Merchant of Venice, A Bite or a Bike, Waiting for a Sale, Offerta and Classic Italian Transport. I look forward to doing my final selections and getting ready for the exhibition in the next couple of weeks. Next time you see this series, it will be hanging on the wall of The Arts Center!

Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day! Share the Love!
