I LOVE love. Like in a ridiculous, my-heart-wants-to-explode, it’s-the-best-thing-on-earth kind of way. Seeing people with love in their hearts makes me giddy. It makes me well up inside (and it usually spills out through my eyes). So it’s a wonderful thing that my “job” (I always put it in quotations because, really, it’s too amazing to call it that!) is telling love stories and spending the day with people who are madly in love!
Because it’s Valentines Day, I thought I would share some of my favorite feel good, full-of-love videos that will make you smile, and maybe even make you happy-cry! LOVE – of the people, animal, or any other type of variety – is an amazing thing, and I am so thankful to experience it in my life each and every day! Enjoy the selection below and Happy Valentine’s Day to all! Hope it’s filled with happiness, goodness, and a big ‘ol heart full of love!
My favs:
Hands-down one of the best proposals ever! This lip-dub that leads to Brad asking Emily for her hand in marriage always leaves me misty-eyed. Heck, I don’t know Emily, but after seeing this video, I kind of want to be her friend. She seems pretty amazing!
I love this video that reminds us there is so much love in this world. You may have seen the Coca-Cola commercial using this clip. Brilliant!
What is more heartwarming than a dog and a dolphin that are friends. Seriously. (Did I mention how much I love animals??) You can also see an elephant and dog who are friends here (warning, this one is immensely touching, but has a sad ending. It is, however, an incredible testament to the bond animals share. You WILL need a box of tissues). Or you can view images of the man who loves his dog so much, he soothes his arthritis in the lake here. My video library of ‘animals who are friends’ is vast.
One of my all-time favorite videos. When I watch this, it’s like a giant hug has reached out from the computer and grabbed me. It feels that good. You gotta watch it.
The amazing hearts behind Artifact Uprising (some of my favorite people ever), shared this video this morning, with a challenge to be generous today. And to share this generosity on Instagram. You can find out more information here.
Because I have an obsession with the Today Show, here is a clip of the gang doing the Harlem Shake, Valentine’s Day style. If you know what the Harlem Shake is, you are one step ahead of me. **Side note – man, that Al Roker…he is my fav. Some people might want to meet Tom Cruise or Britney Spears, I just want to meet good ‘ol Al. (And Hoda Kotb).

How cute are these guys and gals lip-dubbing to Bruno Mars? Proof that love makes you shine at any age! Just like kittens and puppies, I have a really soft spot in my heart for grandmas and grandpas. (As seen on the Today Show with Kathie Lee and Hoda).
And one last heartwarming animal clip – ‘surprised kitty’. It’s pretty impossible not to smile while watching this clip!
