On 10th February, the Chinese New Year of the Dragon will begin suggesting that 2024 will be an ideal year to start new projects. However, the Wood Dragon can be overconfident, stubborn, and arrogant so be realistic with your dreams.

February is also the time for love. St Valentine was a Christian priest in Rome who lived during the third century C.E. After Emperor Claudius II had decreed that no one be worshipped but him, he sent Valentine to prison because he refused to stop helping Christians. When Valentine then tried to convert the Emperor to Christianity, he was condemned to death.
According to legend, Saint Valentine wrote letters to Claudius’ daughter and miraculously rid her of blindness. Before his execution, he wrote his final letter to Claudius’s daughter of Claudius and signed it “from your Valentine”.

Hopefully our declarations on 14th February will be gorgeous rather than grisly.
My song – Once upon a Time – is all about romantic love. Here is the link for the song: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/3o0xzqs4eip7m87uhkcbc/6-Once-Upon-a-Time.aif?rlkey=z2kg69ikvv4iclfhip8ibdc1a&dl=0
Once upon a time, just as the moon was sinking
The stars were in the sky and darkness all around
The world was very still, I heard no breath nor whisper
Silence in the air, there was no sight nor sound.
But suddenly I saw your light from far away
You were drawing closer, turning night into day.
Now you’ve come to me I will wrap your heart in gold
And always love you
The sun will shine so brightly that you never will be cold
I love you
But if you said you’d go, the darkness soon returning
The moon would sink so low, the sun would turn to black,
My hands would be cold as the snow was falling
Ice all around, my heart would start to crack
With Winter on the world the frost would surely stray
So come and cuddle closer, don’t you ever go away
Now you’ve come to me I will wrap your heart in gold
And always love you
The sun will shine so brightly that you never will be cold
I love you

Meanwhile, let’s celebrate all the people we love this month and let’s help to make this world a more loving, appreciative place.
Wishing you a loving, peaceful and interesting February!
