    Nakedness Was Also, Like, A Big Thing

    What is that in the air? Could it be… love? HA! Bet you thought we’d say death! Today we recognize Valentine’s Day by looking at the origins of Valentine’s Day, including the grizzly execution of its namesake Saint Valentine. Sorry, we can’t help ourselves, but we do what we love! We also take a look at the lost (and frankly much cooler sounding) Pagan version of the holiday known as Lupercalia with its ample displays of debauchery. Plus we take a gander at Valentine’s Day mascot Cupid, that lovable cherub scamp that spreads love by shooting people with arrows; the epic poem that tied the concept of love with the death of a martyred saint; and how St. Valentine (amongst others) is the Patron Saint of Epilepsy. Love it or hate it, Valentine’s Day is here, so snuggle up to that special someone, read them the entirety of Geoffrey Chaucer’s “The Parliament of Fowls,” and most importantly, listen in, Land of the Living!

    We’re excited to bring you part two of our interview with Kelsey about her incredible business, The After Loss Company. Kelsey helps people in dealing with the myriad administrative hurdles that they may face after a loved one’s passing. Figuring out what is to happen to a person’s financial assets, property, online accounts (so many accounts!) and lifetime of collected ephemera can be a daunting proposition, especially for someone in grieving. Kelsey joins us to talk about how she helps people in their time of need and provides practical advice for how you can better prepare so that you and your loved ones can have a less stressful experience after a death. Learn along with us about Kelsey and her valiant, much-needed efforts to provide direction and assistance through a time many of us are likely to face in the future.
