Self-love is not so vile a sin as self-neglecting.
William Shakespeare
What’s so great about being a married woman when Valentine’s Day rolls around?
1. Nosy buggers don’t bother us with questions like “So who’s your date?”
2. We don’t have to wait for the phone to ring. We can pick it up and make our own reservations–and he better show up.
3. If we are among the lucky ones whose hubby brings a thoughtful present, we smile gratefully knowing we’ll know where to find the receipt for a return/exchange.
We learn (aka surrender) that loving ourselves is our very own business–not a man’s.
Do leave a comment to add to this list… And have the sweetest Valentine!

Without playing with fantasy
no creative work has ever yet come to birth.
The debt we owe to
the play of imagination is incalculable.
A couple of years ago, this Goddess transformed her basement into a fantastic home for her husband’s extensive comics paraphernalia. After decades of sitting in storage–the stuff, not the husband–his vintage comic books from the very first Marvel issue now proudly line the entire length of one wall. A “Bat light” hovers over the pool table covered with “CRASH WHAM BOOM” felt and framed original illustrations mix cheerfully with casual cardboard pop ups like Spiderman above. You can count my comics illustrator brother among the many drooling over their whimsical interior decor and state of the art home theater.
For the coming holidays, she’s topping that feat with humorous sexy portraits as the Super Heroine her husband doesn’t know he lives with–certain to knock the socks off his feet with an original gift that’s beyond personalized. Ssshhh! Don’t tell him it doesn’t involve stockings.
What unique gift idea can you give yourself if Santa won’t?
