Have you ever woken up from a deep sleep with an idea burning in your head that just won’t let you sleep another minute?
That’s what happened to me this morning when I realized it was Valentines Day and I had not yet finished my card for my wife, Aimee. Now, as if that isn’t bad enough, my wife is an accomplished artist and she HAND PAINTED a card that she not only is giving to me… but so many people have loved it that she is sending a limited number of prints to our close friends and family.
Wow, I was under the gun.
If you want to find out what I did about it… and see the card image itself, go to…

This isn’t what I had planned on telling you about today… but I think it may just be more important anyway (you can probably wait another day or two to hear my strategies about blogs, right?)
As I am writing this, press releases are going out, my friends are mailing their subscribers… and the buzz is taking off.
Why? Because I’m asking the world to answer a pretty important question…

Happy Valentines Day!

Craig,
I believe that love is simply the absence of fear. Without fear we are free to express inately our true essence of being. So simply put….love is being……..with out fear.
Love is both a romatic sweetness that makes the pain of life worth living.
… it is also the chemical bond that has to be stronger then collision of the sexes, as we learn grow and become more.
without it couples don’t stand a chance… it job is to keep us together long enough to figure out how to get along, and figure out if we really even like each other — with it you still need the communication tools to make through the journey of life.
There are three types of love. The first is “Eros” or erasthai in the original Greek – it is used to refer to that part of love constituting a passionate, intense desire for something, it is often referred to as a sexual desire. It is were our word “erotic” stems from, (Greek erotikos).
The second type of love is “Philia” and is more of a fondness and appreciation of another person, (friendship or brotherly love). Which by the way stemmed the name Philadelphia, or the city of brotherly love.
The third typ of love is “Agape” or the perfect paternal love of God for man. It is a perfect kind of love that is at once a fondness, a transcending of the particular, (goes beyond faults, etc.), and a passion without the need to be reciprocated or returned.
Agape love is also the commandment of God in the Christian religion. Love thy neighbor as thyself, love thine enemies, you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might, and so on.
Getting away from the historical philosophy of the likes of Plato and Aristotle, love, (regardless of the form), is a choice.
You choose whether or not to love someone. There is the emotional rush and caring that comes with new relationships and feelings of loyalty with new friendships, but those will go away if you “choose” not to nurture those emotions.
