Celebrate Creative Romance Month: Embracing Polyamory
Polyamory isn’t a trend. It is a way of loving. It doesn’t need a novelty holiday, but why pass up an opportunity to celebrate? Happy Creative Romance Month. Cheers to celebrating life and love with creativity, intention, and heart.
Skip the Chocolate & Roses, Books are the way to my heart
Creative Romance Month
February is the month of love and romance, but it isn’t just about Valentine’s Day or Galentine’s Day.
This month is about finding creative ways to show love for yourself and the people you care about.
Ways to show love through books:
- Buy someone a book from their TBR
- Take someone to the bookstore for a date and buy them a book instead of a drink
- Curl up and read beside someone
- Pick up someone’s library holds
- Bring someone their favorite drink while they’re reading (and then don’t disturb them)

Understanding Polyamory: Is It Fate or Inner Drive?
Polyamory Discovery: Inner Drive or Fate
Interest in polyamory seems to come from a mix of inner fire and cosmic nudge. Some call it innate wiring awakening, where a door naturally opens when someone is ready.
It isn’t magic. Polyamory discovery mirrors a rabbit hole dive. Both start with a curious peek, then spiral into obsession, revelation, and no turning back.
The road of discovery may challenge identity, relationships, and norms.
