free [shipping] love

Today, I love Valentine’s day. It’s the day I met my husband. It’s also my daughter Lilah’s birthday.
Back in the day, I did NOT love Valentine’s day. In fact, I found it downright depressing.
When the love-holiday rolls around and red hearts abound, I find myself in a mix of memories from child birth to —many years prior— partying with my friend Amy in San Diego. Amy and I went to a housewarming party where we knew there would be great desserts. It just so happened that this party was on Valentine’s day, which was a nice distraction since both Amy and I were single. This story makes me smile now because I clearly remember telling her that I had officially sworn off men. I had gone on too many bad dates in too short a time period. I felt I would much rather spend time with my girlfriends than futz around with dating. Amy and I had a night we will never forget, in part because that was the party where I met my husband!
I share this story because Valentine’s Day can be tough for our single, divorced, or widowed friends. Romantic love is great when you’re in it, but when the rest of the world is celebrating that joy and you’re not, it can be lonely.
I’ve devised a Snap Stories’ SPECIAL OFFER to go along with this sentiment:
Go-Go Girlfriend and One Big Adventure books for $10 PLUS free shipping. Just enter code LOVEU from now till Feb 11, 2011.
Use the $2 you save to get prints of that girls-get-a-way to Cabo or the fabulous foxy outfits you wore to the sorority events in college or the Euro trip that truly was One Big Adventure or the bachelorette party that will go down in history.
And let’s be honest, I’m not going to send the police to your house if you take advantage of this offer and then make a One Big Adventure Snap Story for your Valentine with photos from your honeymoon, or just attach a note that says “who knows what adventures are in store for this year, but I’m happy that we’ll be on them together…”
Sharing photos and memories of life together is an act of love we can *ALL* participate in.
