"The Eskimos had fifty-two names for snow because it was important to them: there ought to be as many for love." 

                                     ~ Margaret Atwood 

The ancient Greeks had at least seven words for different kinds of love: Philautia, Philia, Pragma, Ludus, Eros, Storge, and Agape.

There are many subtleties, nuances, aspects and kinds of love. It's true for beauty and strength too. 

Today, let's recognize the beauty and power of love, celebrate the loves that mean the most to us, and express love fully and widely. 

Happy Valentine's Day!

With love,

Charlene
