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. See the examples in \u201cOther People\u2019s Love Letters: 150 Letters You Were Never Meant to See,\u201d <\/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
\n- A Love Song by William Carlos Williams<\/li>\n
- The More Loving One by W. H. Auden<\/li>\n
- XVII (I Do Not Love You) by Pablo Neruda<\/li>\n
- Heart Condition by Jericho Brown<\/li>\n
- Love Story in Black and White by Toi Derricotte<\/li>\n
- Wild Nights \u2014 Wild Nights! (249) by Emily Dickinson<\/li>\n
- The Kiss by Stephen Dunn<\/li>\n
- When Someone Says I Love You the Whole by\u00a0Karyna McGlynn<\/li>\n
- Two Love Notes to Alice B. Toklas by Gertrude Stein<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
3. Book Two Tickets to Paradise<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\nMaybe you can\u2019t whisk away your special someone tonight, but anticipation is half the fun.\u00a0So get online now to book that trip you\u2019ve been talking about, then print out a picture and slip it into a card. \u00a0For inspiration, the Travel Channel has targeted the 42\u00a0most romantic destinations<\/a>\u00a0for tying the knot, while National Geographic has pinned down the\u00a0best romantic hideaways<\/a>\u00a0(there are castles!), and Travel and Leisure has identified\u00a020 romantic anniversary celebration<\/a> hotels.<\/p>\nNo travel budget? Transport yourself to the Cote d\u2019Azur with Cary Grant and Grace Kelly in \u201cTo Catch a Thief\u201d\u00a0 or take a \u201cRoman Holiday\u201d with Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn and pass the popcorn.<\/p>\n
