International Quirkyalone Day (February 14) is upon us! Ten years ago I founded Quirkyalone Day as an alternative to Valentine’s Day to celebrate all forms of love, including love for yourself. No one is left out on IQD. And our holiday is still going strong.

This year here are the activities I have planned for Thursday, February 14. Hope you will partake and let me know how you are celebrating Quirkyalone Day.

I’LL BE ON NPR — YOU CAN CALL IN
I’ll be a guest on an hourlong discussion on an Illinois NPR show called the Focus. The subject is “the relationship bias–it will be about people who choose to and enjoy living alone.” Listen here. The show, Focus, is also on Facebook and Twitter and they take feedback from the show through both sites.

The show airs from 10-11 central time, so that’s 8-9 pacific time, and 11-12 east coast time.

IQD TELE-PARTY
The first-ever virtual International Quirkyalone Day Tele-Party will be this Thursday, February 14 at 3 pm PT/6 pm ET (that’s US time–please adjust time zone accordingly for you).

I will share Quirkyalone Day greetings and inspiration and answer your questions. You can also share your greetings with others. You’ll also be able to submit a question in advance.

You can call in or listen online. It’s gonna be fun and historic, I hope you will join us, and it will help get you bubbly whether you are quirkyalone or quirkytogether this February 14.

To get the call in information, please sign up for my mailing list. I will be sending out instructions for how to participate before the Tele-Party.

SPREAD THE LOVE WITH IQD CARDS
We have lots of gorgeous Quirkyalone Day cards for you to spread the love this year: paper cards and online cards. Here are the paper cards and here are the electronic cards.
