Please let me take this moment to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day, and I hope that you feel treasured and loved on that special day, and remember to treasure and love those who care for you. It's not about money, but the special regard we hold for someone. Breakfast in bed, a foot massage, and a special act of kindness means a lot more than a box of candy, and is a lot healthier. There are many non-monetary ways to express our love.
