Happy happy almost Valentine’s Day to you!

I am so excited to share a beautiful event that I am part of creating around love, wine and Valentine’s!

Why is going wine tasting a great choice for your relationship at Valentine’s?

Because you want to share a special celebration together?

Because you want to let your partner know they are special?

Because you love great wine in a beautiful setting?

Because you enjoy the fun, the ambiance, and the atmosphere?

Because wine tasting is a lot like being in a relationship? It is!
Presentation is important.
As is personal choice.
Exploration and new experiences add to attraction and pleasure.
Complexity can be wonderful when given proper time and attention.
And in between, we need to breathe.

There’s a lot that wine tasting can teach us about being in a great relationship.  And what better way to learn this than from a relationship expert?  Dr. Heather Browne has been a couple’s therapist for 27 years, she’s a TedX speaker on connection and compassion, and the author of the book just out, Speaking with the Heart.

​

She will be joining us on Sunday February 11th, 12-5pm.
At 12pm she’ll be sharing 5 ways to deepen your intimacy and love.  And then, she’ll spend some time answering any questions that you might like to explore.

And then at 3, she will be walking us through some fun playful intimacy exercises to help bring that warm yummy feeling from all that delicious Grant James’ finest bouquet, to your relationship as well!

A poem written by you

Last week we talked about giving and receiving.  Listening to how your partner wants to be loved is so important.   You, dear one, have a few days to plan.  So, help Cupid out, and deepen your relationship!  It’s a great day to celebrate!

 And if you are like me, and single, what will you do to celebrate love?  What would bless you?

I buy myself flowers and a little bit of See’s and I go down to my favorite beach for a picnic.  I walk the beach and enjoy the beauty and my love affair with the sea.  And I look for heart rocks.  It can be easy to let Valentine’s Day just slip by when you’re single.  And if you prefer, do so, BUT, if you’d like some love… create it.  Maybe treat yourself to a massage or a beautiful drive to look at the stars, or watch your favorite childhood movie.

Let yourself love you!  And let me know how I can love you more too!

Happy happy Valentine’s my sweet one!

Dr. Heather Browne PsyD, LMFT helps people recognize the power of communication.  It is one of our most important skills that we have, and yet we don’t consider our understanding, approach, belief, and therefore, miss our possibilities.  Living with a paranoid schizophrenic mother gave Dr. Heather a unique and powerful awareness that no one has the same reality, though we believe we do.  Utilizing this revolutionary awareness has allowed her to transform communication within self and within all other types of relationship.  This is the hidden key to acceptance.  And this is her mission to share.

As a relationship expert, Dr. Heather Browne has worked with thousands of individuals and couples in psychotherapy.  She is a TedX Speaker and Keynote Speaker. Her couple’s communication book will be out 1/24. She is published in hundreds of journals, has an active YouTube channel, has been featured on ABC-7 news, was the relationship expert on KDOC Daybreak OC, and is published in Inc., Toronto Sun, Thriving Family Magazine,  Light + Life, BRAINZ, Scary Mommy, and Psychology Today.  She is a regular guest blogger for both Links for Shrinks and for Marriage Friendly Therapists. She offers a weekly newsletter packed with tips and techniques to improve relationships and has monthly workshops!
