Surrounded by Love

Some of you knew me many years ago as Gail Sharp. Well…she’s BAAACK!  

While not a particularly joyful reason to return to Sharp, I have taken back my maiden name after my recent divorce. And, yep, I’ll be negotiating Valentine’s Day alone with all of you single gals and guys out there. Divorce is never easy, and mine wasn’t either. My sadness, fear, frustration and sense of failure have been very real. However, I have learned and embraced the ability to focus on the multitude of wonderful blessings in my life. First and foremost, I’m healthy. I will never take that for granted. Add to that, my wonderful family, amazing and loving friends, adorable animals and the perfect job – surrounded by an incredible team and awesome guests.  

This year, I may not have a husband to give me a Valentine, but I’m still going to celebrate. I will be experiencing this year’s Valentine’s Day/Month in some new ways, but I will still be surrounded by love in too many ways to count. Hope you find your special way to celebrate the love that’s all around you, too!

No Valentine?
I find myself in a similar Valentines state and opened your email hoping you might have a special offer that I could gift to myself. I was disappointed there isn't one. What's for the newly single gal up there in the woods? What can we give ourselves to celebrate ourselves? Something to lift us up without breaking our new bank? I hope you will at least make a gift for yourself this year. You are going to be better than fine. 😏
