In 1862 Emily Dickinson penned the profound adage “The heart wants what it wants – or else it does not care”, which truly resonates with me. Let’s make February all about putting this truism to work by focusing on following your heart. In honor of Black History Month, the Lunar New Year, American Hearth Month, and Valentine’s Day, I thought February was the perfect month to focus on self-care, self-compassion and self-love. Honoring your heart’s desire in all aspects of your life including your career, lifestyle, romance and wellness will bring you a greater sense of fulfillment and joy.
