Valentines Day is
upon us and it has been on my mind. This
holiday is hyped up as a time to spend money on the woman in your life. But is
that really what it is all about? Valentines
Day was originally about a Saint that preformed acts of love to those who were persecuted.
It wasn’t about chocolate and roses, showing love one day a year.
In the spirit of performing
acts of love every day, here is a list of 110 things to get you started on things
that you can do to show your significant other or children love. Let’s not only
show our love on Valentines Day, spread the love and the joy.
