Ladies of Steemit | All You Need is Love
This week, we're celebrating Valentine's Day with five Ladies of Love, sharing in their own words how they're experiencing, enjoying, and emanating love in their lives. While this day carries a variety of meanings, some positive and some not-so-much, we'd like to spend our curation celebrating Love the way the Ladies of Steemit see it.
Each Wednesday, we're curating posts by the Ladies of Steemit, established/whales and new/minnows (and everyone in-between), bringing you the most talented female/femme/feminine voices on the platform. Subject matter is entirely based on the writers featured and no subject is off-limits!
We are very proud to present...
Unafraid, a Love Poem
by @authorofthings
Poem excerpt:
It is only melting away
And into
Deep, deep, deep
Your wings
Folded into mine,
A perfect fit
We will fly
High but slow
As if in deep sleep

「Valentine Special」Paris, je t'aime. (travel tips compilation for la ville d'amour)
by @joytheawanderer
Post excerpt, note that this is a compilation of more posts by @joythewanderer
Happy Valentine's Day, every one! Today I'd like to make a compilation for Paris, in order to share my travel tips for this magical city of love.
including...
Musée des Arts Forains
Musée des Arts Forains (fairground art museum) is a private museum located in an old wine warehouse, Les Pavillons de Bercy. It's such a beautiful place with a large collection of carousel of the best old days. You can find the same bike carousel as in the movie "Midnight in Paris". The scene was shot here. The location can be rented for private events as well.
Reservation for a guided tour is needed, the tour was great!

by @meanmommy33
Post excerpt:
To be totally honest...Love is still a mystery to me.
A mystery that I have to deal with every single day...
Therefore, I decided to write a poem, with Amelia inspiring me about this post, dedicated to my Mystery Valentine this year - and love, in general! ENJOYYYYY

@byn
I don't know if it's the type of post you're interested in, but I wrote a post that means a lot to me about my name/changing my name {What's In a Name](https://steemit.com/blog/@byn/what-s-in-a-name-what-happened-when-i-changed-my-name-and-how-my-last-name-was-born-out-of-love)
Thank you for sharing @byn! Each week, we curate on Wednesdays and choose posts that are published between Mon-Wed of that same week (so the posts remain in the payout period for most of the duration of the post's life). I'll definitely check your post out for a resteem this week, but I'd love to get your input on how it might be beneficial to hold open post curation calls before we publish!
I'm new enough that I'm not even sure how that would work (I don't know what 'open post curation calls' actually means sorry, I'm a dunce with some of these things! Blogging, I get. Chat, I'm lost. Steemit-specific language sometimes throws me for a huge loop!)
I'm happy to support whatever you do. It is an awesome initiative :)
