Introduce Your Love to Others

My husband sent this to me in an email the other day and it really resonated with me; therefore I am sharing it with all of you.

Welcome to my love

You might think to welcome you is a little silly, but is it?

If my love renews for you each and every day,

Shouldn't I introduce you to it each and every day?

Love to all of you, Janelle

Want more time? Get up earlier

We all have things we want to get done be it exercise, hobbies or just time to ourselves.  The easiest way to get this time is to get up early.  This way you don't disrupt time from your relationship or your family.  Sure it takes some getting use to but once you do you have that time you need.  I personally use it to exercise.  It allows me to get my workout in, without taking time away from the people I love.   You could also do this by staying up later and I did that for a while.  However, If you want to do this I would suggest taking the time to lay with your partner for a while before getting up.  I personally think that time before falling asleep is important for a relationship.  If you are the night bird then just spend some time snuggling with your partner as they drift off to sleep, then get up and get your time.

Feeling Sleepy?

It is important to listen to your body, but are you interpreting the messages correctly? This is a very deep subject, but for today I am just going to focus on feeling sleepy.


You may be sitting at your desk working away. You may be in a meeting. You may even be driving. Suddenly, you feel your eyelids drooping and you just want to doze off. It is quite possible that you truly need more sleep, but it may also be possible that your body is saying, “Hey! I need some activity please.” There are a few things to try other than giving in to sleep without really listening to see if your body is asking for something else.

Try some of these ideas:

1. Take a brisk 5-10 minute walk.

2. Stand up, stretch, and take at least 5 deep breaths. Take your time inhaling and exhaling.

3. Eat a small snack filled with protein – a handful of almonds or walnuts or a cup of yogurt.

4. Avoid the candy bars and sodas.

5. Drink water – even slight dehydration can make you feel tired.

6. Meditate – even if it is for only five minutes it can revitalize you.

7. Take a 10-15 minutes power nap.

8. Sit up straight – no slouching.

9. Play some upbeat music.

10. Light a citrus or peppermint candle or put on peppermint lotion.

Who Are You?

AAAA! Uh oh, someone somewhere just looked in the mirror and wondered who in the hell he/she is! Have you ever done that? Honestly, even the best of us will most likely go through that at least once in this life. Well, let me ask you a few quick questions.

· As a child or youth, did you have a dream?

· What did you play with or do most often as a child?

· Did you abandon that dream?

· Have you stopped doing something you loved?

· Are you happy? NO! I mean really are you happy? At work? At home? In your relationship? With your health?

Reconnecting with your true self, your spirituality and the Divine energy can change your life. Are you ready?

Power Within You

A dark cloud rolls across the sky. Fat rain drops begin to fall. You feel the subtle rumbles. Suddenly there is a flash of light and a crash of thunder. The power pouring forth from the earth and sky is beyond what you can comprehend.

Dark clouds often blow through your life. If you turn and run away to hide, you will miss the power that can be found inside of you.
Remember that even the darkest parts of you have brilliant and powerful light within. You can’t have one without the other. Accept your dark shadows and be open to the power of your inner light.

What Surrounds You Part 2

Continued from yesterday – do you live or work in a big city? Do you live or work near the beauty nature has to share? Many people do live in the midst of beauty. So, if you live by majestic ocean waters, if you drive by phenomenal mountain views every day, if you can take a long walk in a beautiful woodland, do you pay attention? Do you see the beauty right before you? It is just as easy to overlook it when it is right in front of you as when you live in a city and it is more challenging to uncover.

Take the time to breathe the fresh air. Take time to notice the flowers, the trees, the animals, and those around you. Stop and appreciate the joy that surrounds you. Be loving, mindful and compassionate towards all of it. You are just as beautiful, but what surrounds you is just as important as you and your fellow humankind. Be open to your inner joy and love and share it with the world.

What Surrounds You Part 1

Do you live or work in a big city? Do you live or work near the beauty nature has to share? Either way it is so important to realize that many do. Many people, animals, trees, plants, etc. live crammed into concreted walls and streets. Living so closely with so many people gives one ample opportunity to share love, friendship, and compassion for others. Yet, far too many rush through the day, pushing and shoving other people, turning from the beggar on the street, yelling at the cashier at the coffee shop, fighting to get the next cab. I want you to stop in the middle of the busy sidewalk. Look around. Be aware of what is going on around you. Open a door for someone. Give the beggar a few dollars (it doesn’t matter what he/she chooses to do with it – what matters is that you shared). Smile at the cashier. Leave earlier so you won’t feel so rushed to get the next cab.


You may be surrounded by tall buildings and concrete sidewalks, but if you take the time to stop and look, you can find beauty in all of it. Yes, it is true that sometimes you will have to look harder to find such beauty, but it is there because it is inside of you and everyone and everything around you if only everyone would open to it and share it.

Set times to talk about the business of your relationship

In any relationship we have to address things like paying bills or deciding on major purchases.  This can be a real downer if it is handled wrong.  For starters never never talk about finances in bed.  Your bed is a sacred place for the two of you don't bring something in that could effect that.  Try setting a time and place for a business meeting each week.  Keep it short and to the point.  Have key elements outlined to talk about and then when the meeting is done so is the talk about finances.  So many arguments start over the relationship finances.  Don't let this happen to your relationship.  Get the info out on the table and then get it off the table.  Financial aspects of your relationship will always be around so don't push them under the rug or talk about them during times you should be enjoying each other.  Set the business meeting time today and stick with it.
