Let’s be real, people either love or hate the celebration of love–– especially in February. We can all agree that this month is for the last bit of feminine, winter, soothing energy before the masculine energy of summer kicks us into action mode.
So, regardless of mainstream media promoting Valentines Day, this is a month of love and appreciation of what winter has gifted us, and a last chance to nurture ourselves, just as earth does, before summer arrives, aka Happy Imbolc energy.
