Royal Wedding One Year Ago

Last year T-Mobile celebrated the Royal Wedding a little differently :)  

This kind of a party - filled with laughter, letting go, and being real - 

should last throughout all of our relationships.   

Isn't it time we put it back in place.  Sing, dance, laugh! 

Have a great time with your friends AND your partner.

If Our Love Was an Outhouse

This may or may not be worth your 2 1/2 minutes.  Only you can decide.  But, it is kinda cute :)  

Doesn't matter who you are or where you are...we all have unique ways of expressing our love.

Couch Sex

Your bed is obviously the easiest place to make love.  However, the second most popular place to make love in your house is most likely the couch.  

Why?  For starters it gives you the room you need to perform.  It also is a place that allows the two of you to get close to each other without sitting on top of one another.  Unlike the bed though the back of the couch can add different types of support to aid in different positions.  Plus, why should all the fun take place in the bedroom?  Branch out a little and make love on the couch.  This will give you more of an opportunity for the spontaneous sex that can be so passionate.  

Imagine how watching a movie together could turn into an all out love session before the movie even gets to the credits.  This is just another way to spice things up for the two of you, and if you have a huge sectional couch the possibilities are endless!

Embarrassed by Your Mate?

At some point or another it is highly likely that your lover is going to or has done something or said something that seriously embarrasses you (and maybe himself/herself too).  He/she may share something very personal - maybe too personal - in public or with a group of friends or family.  Maybe your partner has gotten drunk and acted like a complete fool.  Or maybe he/she has had an angry outburst or even told a joke that was offensive to those around you.

What do you do when or if that happens?  

1. Your partner needs to know how it has made you feel.  Yet, this shouldn't be an attack on your partner.  Do not accuse him/her of anything.  Just make sure you let him or her know that it was highly embarrassing to you or hurt your feelings.  This should be done when the two of you are alone so that you may talk about it.  Reacting angrily at him/her in front of others is not going to help either of you.
2. If your partner has offended someone else, is it up to you to apologize to that person?  You can, but the apology is not going to come with as much sincerity than if your partner apologizes for the blunder.
3. Once the two of you have gotten past this episode let it go.  Do not bring this back up into future disagreements.  The only time this might be appropriate is if your partner doesn't respect your feelings and continually embarrasses you either on purpose or by being thoughtless.  It is important to remind him/her how this makes you feel.  But, I repeat that ONLY if this happens numerous times should you mention previous times.  Throwing up the past doesn't typically benefit either of you.

Grilling Out Chats

We have now entered the time where people start to cook out on the grill a majority of the time.  The beauty of this is it allows the two of you time to be out in the fresh air and talk while the food is cooking.  Set your grill to a lower temperature and let the food cook slower.  Not only will the food taste better, but you will have more time to converse with the person you love.  

No matter what your tastes you can find some good food to cook on the grill.  Cooking with charcoal or gas doesn't matter near as much as the time spent together.  And, of course, this is also a great way to spend time with family and friends.

Stood Up Again?

Have you ever been stood up?  Or, have you at least experienced your partner or date showing up really late for something?  How does that make you feel?

Do you instantly react?  You get pissed off.  You feel belittled.  You feel unappreciated, disrespected, used.  You might even feel like an idiot if this keeps happening.

WAIT!  Hold on!  It is possible that something else has caused your partner's tardiness or complete lack of presence.  Maybe like in the above photo there was a terrific downpour which delayed him...maybe he missed the train or had to pull over and wait out the rain.  Mind you, not all external circumstances make for good excuses....such as the game went into extra innings or he/she got caught up talking to a friend and lost track of time.  

We all need to respect each other and show up when we say we will.  Yet, we also shouldn't jump to conclusions when our partner is late or a no show.  We need to at least hear him/her out first.  

Getting soaked to the bone at the baseball stadium and needing to run home and change clothes could be a good reason for being late, but nowadays you could at least send your love a text message and let him/her know you are running late. *No texting capability?  I am surprised at you....after all, you are reading this blog post via some form of modern technology :) 

Daning in the rain,

Making Love Allows You To Carry Part Of Your Partner With You.

I think everyone knows that there is an energy that you share when you make love to each other.  One that is far more powerful than self pleasuring.  This energy can be directed to areas you choose via sex magic or your intentions.  I think we can dive into this a little more and find out that we might just carry the energy of our partner around with us.  

You might be saying "WTF" at the moment...

I believe that when two people that are in love and committed to each other make love they exchange energy with each other.  This energy enters your partner and blends with his/her energy and vice versa.  The combined energy allows you to have the added benefit of his/her power combined with yours.  Now for me, it seems that this blended energy lasts for about 2-3 days, and can be different for everyone depending on your situation.  As you go about your business you bring that extra powerful energy to everything you do.  So in this way when the two of you make love you actually carry around part of your partner with you for a few days and that part you are carrying helps you in many different ways. 

They claim that having sex every 2 or 3 days has a dramatic positive affect on your health.  With this idea above it just might have a dramatic positive affect on your entire life and how great it becomes.  

Use Sexy Challenge Sacrifice to the Gods of Passion to help you share this energy.

Oh No!! It's Contagious!

Have you offered a smile to anyone today?  I regularly find myself trying to get my teenagers to smile...sometimes these young men just don't want to admit that Mom and Dad really are cool and we are funny.  Other times these beautiful souls crack up laughing.  But, no matter what if we offer a smile at them or at the cashier at the grocery, the smile is contagious according to David R Hamilton.  Watch this clip to see why. 

Smiling at you,

Janelle

What I Want For My Birthday

Okay, tomorrow is my birthday and I thought I would take the time to express what I would love to have for my birthday and you might be a little surprised at my choices.  

First of all I want things that will make me happy.  So skip all the material things such as ties, shirts, electronics (although I do like gadgets).  I want something that I can remember for a long time.  Take me to out to enjoy a baseball game or a show that I would enjoy seeing.  Spend time with me and let me enjoy your company.  Don't give me a sugar filled cake with lots of icing.  Make me some warm delicious banana nut bread.  My tastes are very simple as well are my joys in life.  

For my kids draw me a picture, sing me a song, or play me a tune those are the truly treasured things.  

For my partner, kiss and touch me often, make mad passionate love to me, and allow me to return the favors.   

Now here comes my selfish side because I want these things everyday - not just on my birthday!  I don't want my birthday to be one where we spend a lot of money.  I just want it filled with love like everyday, and maybe that banana nut bread.  

-Rob

I have to ask you....do you know what your partner wants for his/her birthday?  Have you let your partner know what you would prefer for your special day?  It is important that we know what each other really wants and needs!

Don't Conform...Jump in Those Puddles Instead!

Where does our inner child go?  Well, think about it.  Many teachers, parents, peers, ministers, law enforcement, etc. push us into slots and label us and tell us to stop doing this, don't do that, we shouldn't be this way or that.  From the time we are small children we get labeled and pushed to conform.  Should we just go WILD and do whatever we want whenever we want?  Perhaps not, but it really should be up to you and you using your discretion wisely while considering the impact on others.

This really stands out to me because our youngest is a very outgoing little guy and loves to dance around, jump about, and run and play.  Yet, amazingly when he walks into his preschool he clams up and barely speaks to his teachers.  He did this from day one and this is his third year at preschool.  We kept thinking he would open up as time went on, but nope.  His teacher last year was upset over it and talked to me many times about it.  I finally had to make it very clear to her that as long as he is not hurting anyone physically or emotionally then I am not concerned.  I don't want my kids to shut off who they are and conform any more than necessary to survive in society. 

Now, this goes for you too.  I don't want you to conform in your relationships.  Your relationship is not your parent's relationship or your friends'.  It is yours and your partners' and no one else's!  Find what works for you together and don't worry about what anybody else thinks!   

So, let your kids jump in puddles and jump in puddles yourself.  Don't insist that others shut off who they really are.  And, allow yourself and your partner (and your kids) to shine -- be your true selves :)

Whoop, whoop, splash, splash, big rowdy yell!!!!!
