My Two Valentines & a Strong Heart
Happy Valentine's Day, Kind Lifers!
Our family isn't big on exchanging gifts… the best gift is spending time with my two guys. That said, I was just informed not to make any plans. Christopher said he has something planned… my guess? Partner yogaat our fav yoga spot. But we will see…I may have hinted by leaving out a flyer from our favorite yoga place with a Valentine's Day special event for partner yoga. We went a few years ago and it's so nice. If you haven't tried partner yoga, do it! It's so nice to do with your loved one. It's all yoga with your partner, not just regular yoga poses.
I’m a lucky lady. See the video below… it’s old, but I just came across it. I can’t remember exactly when this was, but Bear is somewhere between 10 and 13 months old.
Now, let’s make our hearts stronger in honor of Valentine’s Day! Meat is a major contributing factor to high blood pressure and heart disease, which lead to heart attack and stroke. And beef isn't the only culprit… chicken contains as much cholesterol as beef and trout is right behind! Dr. William Castelli, director of the Framingham Heart Study, says a low-fat plant-based diet would lower an individual's risk of heart attack by 85%! You can read more about this in The Kind Diet. So be kind to your heart today by eating veg!
I hope that your Valentine's Day is filled with lots of love. Whether you're spending it with your partner, your best friend, your family, your coworkers, or even just yourself, I wish you love, and healthy and happy hearts.

Completely loving and adorable. Based on the NY pic of Bear Blu I would say that's not the most recent pic and video...anyway....loved it! You three are my valentines. I hope my little horny buzzard lookin' self can get somebody to kiss and hug and love on someday. -

Happy Valentine's Day...xx -
Alicia have you ever heard of "Heart Rhythm Meditation"? I think you will find it fits well in the Kind Lifestyle...as taught by the IAM Heart community... <3 -
Alicia what a magical video, your guys are so adorable together. I love the way Bear was enchanted by the blowing wind on his cute face :)
Lovely post on Valentines, thank you. Hope you enjoyed your day. I'm afraid today my partner and I found out I'll have a miscarriage. Not a great Valentine gift but I'm sure we'll be as blessed you are with Bear one day soon. Bless you and everyone, happy Valentine's day! xx -

Happy Valentines day Alicia and Kind Lifers! Working today on the ambulance, but am looking forward to hugging my little one when I get home and a fun date night with my hubby going to the rock climbing gym then relaxing with a movie. Our kind of night! Hope everyone feels the love today and every day!

That is such a special video. Just beautiful.
We don't celebrate Valentines Day in our house. We feel that you should do special things for the one you love every day, not just one day out of the year.
That being said I hope that everyone has a wonderful day. Take care. -
Hi, Alicia
"Dr. William Castelli, director of the Framingham Heart Study, says a low-fat plant-based diet would lower an individual's risk of heart attack by 85%!" Interesting you quote this as I married into a family that is already a part of the Framingham Heart Study and since I am now in the family I can take part as well (as can my two year old son!). It should also be intersting for their research as my husband has been a part of the program his whole life and he is slowly adopting the vegan diet, maybe it will change his stats in the heart study! Happy Heart Day!
