[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_text_separator title=”Welcome to This Day in Barrington History” title_align=”separator_align_left”][vc_column_text]Good morning and welcome to February 14th and Day 45 of 365 in Barrington, Illinois! You’ll find our stories of the day – past, present & future (events) – right here on today’s DailyPage. Because every day has its own rhythm, we’re sharing a song of the day here at 365Barrington.com.
On this day, February 14th in n AD 269, Saint Valentine of Rome died. The Feast of Saint Valentine was established by Pope Gelasius I in AD 496 to be celebrated on February 14 in honor of Saint Valentine who was imprisoned for ministering to Christians persecuted under the Roman Empire in the third century.
According to an early tradition (and Wikipedia), “Saint Valentine restored sight to the blind daughter of his jailer. Numerous later additions to the legend have better related it to the theme of love: an 18th-century embellishment to the legend claims he wrote the jailer’s daughter a letter signed “Your Valentine” as a farewell before his execution; another addition posits that Saint Valentine performed weddings for Christian soldiers who were forbidden to marry.”
Either way, we’re loving Saint Valentine’s legacy of showing affection to those who need it most… even when sometimes those who need it most may be our own spouses! We’re celebrating Saint Valentine’s impact with our song of the day, The Spencer Davis Group’s ‘Gimme Some Lovin’, which feels like a celebration to us!

We took the beloved Roman-style pizza and elevated it. If you’ve never tried Roman-style pizza before, get ready to be surprised—it’s lighter, crispier, and more delicious than you could imagine.

🌟 Client Bright Spot 🌟
Each Friday, I ask my CFB Nutrition clients to share a “bright spot” from their week — something that made them feel proud, empowered, or simply joyful.
This one stopped me in my tracks:
💬 "All three of my kids can wrap their arms around me again."
Yes — losing weight, shedding body fat, improving health markers… those things are incredible. But this? This is what it`s really about.
✨ It’s about getting your life back.
✨ It’s about being present for the people you love.
✨ It’s about feeling connected to your body — and your purpose.
✨ It’s about moments that a scale could never measure.
Non-scale victories like this remind us why we show up every day.
If you`re ready to experience what it`s like to really take control of your health — and gain more than you ever thought possible — the CFB Nutrition Program is here for you.
📝 Ready to start your journey? DM me or click the link in bio to join the CFB Nutrition Program. Let’s create your next bright spot. 💛
