Love is in the air and it’s coming for you. Apoca-love, watch out! Strange how one day in the middle of February has us reflecting on romance and L-O-V-E when really, love should be celebrated year round, with lovers, friends and family. Go buy your parents a bouquet of flowers, mail your best friend a card or throw together a gourmet meal for your date. It doesn’t take much effort or money and will go a long way in letting the people you love know that they’re appreciated and cared for.

This week, while obsessing over lady of romance herself, Edith Piaf, I re-watched “La Vie En Rose” to discover more about her life and story. In the closing minutes of the film Edith sits on a sunny beach as an American journalist asks: If you were to give advice to a woman, what would it be? Edith Piaf: Love. American journalist: To a young girl? Edith Piaf: Love. American journalist: To a child? Edith Piaf: Love. Not to say that only woman should love – we all should; however it delivers a humble and insightful answer that regardless of our life experiences, triumphs, tragedies and traumas, love wins. Always.This month’s playlist doesn’t include and Edith Piaf, however there are some good local songs for the heart and the remainder of February 2013.
