Valentine’s Day is a great time to show others you care about them, but can also be a reminder of relationships or friendships which have been lost or times when people have let you down.

Life is seldom predictable. Even the people and relationships that we choose to surround us may evolve or change over time.

Now that Valentine’s has come and gone, it is a good time to reflect on maintaining and drawing strength from the one constant in your life — this person is your biggest advocate, your strongest supporter, someone who never leaves your side through the good or bad…it’s YOU.

When things get difficult and complicated, or when you are feeling alone, show yourself compassion, give yourself support, and be own your biggest cheerleader; be your own best friend.
