Dearest Minnesotans,
This Valentine’s Day, our hearts turn toward you.
We have walked through winters that tested our resolve.
We have endured seasons of uncertainty, grief, division, and challenge.
And yet, beneath the frost and headlines, something stronger endured.
Us.
In neighborhoods across Minneapolis and St. Paul.
In small towns and river cities.
In classrooms, council chambers, churches, storefronts, and living rooms.
We showed up for one another.
Like the first thaw after a long winter, hope has a way of returning to Minnesota. It rises in quiet acts of kindness. It grows in courageous conversations. It shines in the resilience of our communities and in the unwavering belief that we are stronger together than apart.
We have not simply survived.
We are rebuilding.
We are reconnecting.
We are reclaiming our shared future.
This day is not only about romance. It is about love of community.
Love of neighbor.
Love of justice.
Love of possibility.
May this Valentine’s Day remind us that unity is not naïve.
That compassion is not weakness.
That hope is not foolish.
It is powerful.
May warmth find you.
May peace steady you.
May love guide the work ahead.
And may Minnesota continue to rise, hand in hand.
With gratitude and unwavering belief in our shared tomorrow,
The MinneapoliMedia Team
