I\u2019m hijacking Valentine\u2019s Day to celebrate our soulmates, specifically the ones that come in the form of friends. The older I get, the more I value friendship. I mean, these are the great love stories we should be talking about, right?\nAnd that\u2019s what we\u2019re going to do. I\u2019ve invited three of my soulmates to join me on the show so we can talk about this great love \u2013 its value, what works and what doesn\u2019t, and why we all need it.\xa0\nHere\u2019s what I know with absolute certainty, your FRIENDSHIPS matter at least as much as romantic love does. I\u2019d argue, possibly more. Because it\u2019s your friends that will go into the forest or the desert or wherever you might be lost and find you, and bring you home.\nFriends are the family you choose.\nCelebrate them, today on Valentine\u2019s Day, sure.
