No need to feel blue if you
are sans Valentine this
Valentine's Day. There are
some interesting ideas below -
suggested by, of all people, a
divorce lawyer but many are
valid even if you DO have a
Valentine.
The important message is to
love yourself. Feeling
good about who you are makes you
more attractive to others and
makes you happier as well.
As for being alone - get
together with other single
friends and celebrate
singlehood. Appreciate
yourself. There are worse
things in life than not being in
a relationship - like being in a
bad one.

Going Solo on
Valentine's Day?
No Need to
Forego Love, Celebrity Divorce
Attorney/Author Offers Tips
LOS ANGELES /PRNewswire/ --
Celebrity divorce attorney and
author, Stacy D. Phillips, says
if you're single or alone no
need to feel left out or forfeit
love this Valentine's Day.
Phillips suggests implementing
one or more of the suggestions
from her "Valentine's Day
10-point plan."
Though the concept of 'love
and be loved' is commonly
expressed among many romantic
couples through a variety of
Valentine's Day customs,
Phillips says, those who are not
presently involved in close,
intimate relationships can also
participate in the one day of
the year that emphasizes giving
and receiving love.
"Get pro-active," Phillips
asserts. "There are so many
wonderful things you can do for
yourself to feel loved and
special during this once yearly
'hallmark' occasion." Phillips'
tips on her punch list (some
require a healthy sense of
humor) include:
1. Create your own valentine
web site: If
http://www.bemyvalentine.com/
has been taken, create another.
Nothing too personal. People
will respond.
2. Photoshop yourself with
your favorite celebrity: Make a
card out of it, send it to
yourself. Display it. Gloat.
3. Visit
http://www.classmates.com/
Surprise some old school pals by
sending some email valentines.
Enjoy what they send back.
4. Hit the tattoo parlor:
Large or small, get one that
says "I love you." It's a
lifetime reminder of what you
mean to you.
5. Clip a coupon: The word
love must be on it. Now, buy and
give that item to yourself. Act
surprised.
6. Go to an animal shelter:
Hang out with a dog or cat for
the day. Feel the love.
7. Customize candy: Find a
candy maker that will inscribe
little heart candies with your
messages. Eat them and smile.
8. Rent bad-breakup movies:
Watch and give thanks the story
isn't yours.
9. Go to Disneyland (or
another amusement park): Go on
the gondola or Matterhorn. Try
"Small World," it's about
universal love.
10. Who's your Mama, who's
your Daddy?: Ladies call dad;
men call Mom. Ask: Will you be
my valentine this year? They
will never say no!
