Love is Patient, Love is kind is a known Bible verse and these two adjectives are very much at the core of what love is and of how God wants us to love. My husband has been so patient and kind with me and I kick myself in the butt ever doubting if he cares about me, about my dreams, about my feelings, we women do that, don’t we? We ask do you love me? We worry when he think he has looked at us funny? We doubt. Lately my business has required a lot of me, not that  I have been booking lots, but that I have been working on strategies and CEO things which take up time, money and resources and my husband although skeptical at times about this passion of mine, has been all in for me, has been patient and kind. I must admit I have been anything but patient and kind,  I have been grouchy, grumpy and overall selfish, just self indulged in moi but life is too short and dreams are not worth it if you can not share them with the ones you love. I pray to God that He pour more of His love unto me that I can love others, love those who hurt me, love those who wish me to fail, love those who have not been kind nor patient. That I may love my love Maxwel more and more each day and that I may be patient and kind and generous and respectful and loving. This is our 7th Valentine’s Day together and we have never done anything really fancy since he is Brazilian and this date is not celebrated in Brazil but more and more, we have been opening our ears and eyes and caring for each other. Today he proved that even more so, worried about my phone issues, worried about what I will wear at WPPI, worried about my hotel situation which is still not 100%, just caring and worried about me. He always puts me and the kids first and I can not wait til he gets some needed rest and acknowledgement. Valentine’s is not so much about big bears, chocolates or gift but it is about showing appreciation and about being patient and kind. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone, oh and leave a comment cause I feel alone over here sometimes.

Here are a few pictures of me and the love of my life Max, we got these done in Christmas 2008 by talented Bianca Valentim.
