You Remember It\u2019s Valentine\u2019s Day Today, Right<\/h2>\n
Or have you been so busy you forgot? Maybe, like some of us (gulp), you put off the gift-giving decision too long, and now you\u2019re in a panic. Well, don\u2019t fret! Here are ideas to help spark the romance \u2014 some easily accomplished within a few hours\u2019 time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
1. Write Something from the Heart. <\/h3>\n
You\u2019re a lawyer \u2014 a wizard with words! Put those writing skills to good use expressing your innermost feelings.\u00a0Write a letter. Or a poem. Or a song, even. Not a text. Not a Facebook message. Sit and write something real and good and true. If you are one for whom this sort of writing has become a lost art, or if you just need a little spark of inspiration, then lay your hands on some great examples from people who really knew what they were doing. Examples: Other People\u2019s Love Letters: 150 Letters You Were Never Meant to See <\/a>by Bill Shapiro.<\/p>\n2. Read Something \u2026 Out Loud<\/h3>\n
If writing under pressure isn\u2019t for you, rely on the masters to provide the words. They are, after all, universal. Below are a few choices you might record in your own voice and send as an MP3. But better yet, get up close and personal to read them out loud over a little bubbly. <\/p>\n
