The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.
– Helen Keller

The book, Encouragement Every Day, was written to bring support to the early care and education field. According to its author, Nancy Rosenow, “Even in the best of times, ours is a challenging profession. If these pages give you a lift before you begin your day, or after you’ve finished a long one, I’ll be so glad. I believe with my whole heart that ours is also one of the most gratifying and important professions in the world.”

On this Valentine’s Day, here’s an encouragement from the book for every hard working, caring, committed person who is part of the early care and education field in any way:

“I’ve spent some Valentine’s Days alone and others with someone special. Here’s what I’ve learned: I can enjoy them either way. More and more I’m realizing that my happiness is mostly dependent on how I treat myself.

So today, I’m going to take myself on a Valentine’s Day adventure by figuring out some small treats my authentic self would really enjoy…I’m wondering what your Valentine’s Day adventure might be. Here’s to a good one.”
