Inspiring storyteller, writer and speaker, Dr. Nina Kelly suggests spending Valentine’s Day and this month of love focusing on other forms of love besides Eros which could be essential for the survival of humanity.

New Orleans, LA – February 7, 2019 – Dr. Nina M. Kelly, Inspirational Storyteller, Coach, Author and Co-Author of The Big Question with Larry King, and Success Mastery and Success Breakthroughs with Jack Canfield, recently posted a new blog on her website entitled, “Love Is A Many Splendored Thing.” Dr. Kelly turns her thoughts to love and compassion as essential to the survival of humanity.

Dr. Kelly begins with a quote from the Dalai Lama who said, “Love and compassion are necessities not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.”

She continues adding, “February is the month of love. Valentine’s Day falls mid-month and is the day which pays homage primarily to romantic love or Eros.” As Dr. Kelly points out, “When it comes to love, most people tend to focus on romantic love even though there are seven different kinds.”

According to Dr. Kelly, “The love the Dalai Lama refers to is definitely not Eros. This is the love I love to focus on! It is more akin to Agape, Philia or Platonic love.”
