Quote from Me.

When you begin building with a strong foundation your building can reach as high as you can imagine.

When all you have is love, you have a great foundation to build upon.

Finding the love again...

          On this roller coaster we call a relationship we have lots of ups and downs, twists and turns.  However the ride does eventually come back to the place where you get in the cars.  That is where the love begins and sometimes you have to revisit that place where love first starts.  Think back to the time when you were first dating and how excited you were to see each other.  Can you go to that place again or did it ever leave.  Can you see the person you fell in love with, in their eyes.  Obviously we all change as we age and so does our love.  Are you letting yours grow or are you still holding on to that first feeling of love.  My love for my partner changes and grows a little each and every day.  I tell her often that I fall in love with her over again every day.  Even on those days where we seem to be distant or not in the best of places, I learn to love in different ways.  I am comfortable in the fact that we will have ups and downs like the roller coaster and that for every down there is an up.  Loving in times of stress and pain are hard sometimes and sometimes they are the best time to fall deep into that love.  Love has a life and an energy of it's own, let it grow.  

Find a little place of your own.

          We can always find a great place to eat with the same old menu. Places like Chili's, or Applebees are in every decent size city to accommodate our evenings out together.  This is fine for when you want the same old entree that you know you will enjoy.  However, to spice up your date night or your dinner out why not try to find someplace a little out of the way.  A place with some character, a mom and pop place that has not only history but a since of adventure within them.  These little places are usually not loud and crowded like the chain places.  The food however is most of the time a lot better.  This is because more effort is put into the preparing of your meal, heart and soul are in the kitchen carving out a life for themselves.  It's not the local college student preparing your meal in the way he/she has been taught.  Search out and find these quaint little places and see if you can find out the charm and the history of the owners or founders.  You might get more then a wonderful dinner on your date, you might just soak up some of the love that goes into these little wonderful spot on the planet.  

My beloved is a wonderful Mother!

Beauty in Motherhood.

          The most wonderful mothers on the planet have an energy all of their own.  My beloved has a energy when it comes to her being a mother that is as powerful as the sun itself.  Her love for our children is a model for other mothers to follow.  Her spirit is constantly watching over and protecting our children even when she is not around them.  The part of her that is a mother is as strong as any part of her, it is a knack she has for it and the softness in which she carries out this title of MOM.  I cannot express enough how truly beautiful it is to watch her be a mother.  Thank you my beloved it is humbling to be in the presence  of your great skill in this title role of mother.

Travel is a great way to spend time together.

Escape for your relationship from time to time. 

           We all would love to spend more time together. However our work schedules, chores, children and the list goes on and of these items that demand our time.  This is why you should plan a trip for just the two of you at least once a year.  Where you two can focus on just each other and spend nights watching the sunset without having to worry about what they next day holds. The travel is nice but being able to be totally present with your partner is more valuable than you think.  It is a recharge for your relationship and believe me it is really a great way to reconnect.  

Tandem bikes are like life you have to work together.

Tandem bikes are a great way for couples to exercise together.

          Many couples don't exercise together because one partner is much more fit than the other. Riding a tandem bicycle is a great equalizer. The amount of work you do on a bicycle depends on how hard you push on the pedals. Pushing twice a hard on the pedals takes twice the work, so a world-class bicycle racer can ride with a novice and still get a good workout. Even a beginner will be able to keep up with the spinning pedals, no matter how fast they go. The less-fit partner just applies little or no pressure so he or she will not get tired. No matter how hard one partner tries to leave the other, you will always be together.

You can go faster together than the faster person can go alone. The more experienced rider sits in the front seat. If both are equally good riders, the taller one usually sits in front. The person who sits in the back copies the motions of the person in the front. At first it may seem strange not to have any control over steering, shifting or braking, but the you have the big advantage of being able to exercise only as hard as you like while enjoying the scenery.

Many cities have tandem bicycle clubs that organize rides and social events. They welcome newcomers and will give you lots of help when you're getting started.

Love is like water.

          Love is an amazing feeling in our lives.  However it is more then a feeling it is energy and is constantly flowing or wanting to flow much like water.  You can damn it up however it is constantly trying to find a crack or a way around the damn.  My suggestion is to let it flow like the might rivers.  Let your love find it's twists and turns and touch as many as it possibly can.  If you study chakras you understand that water is the sign of the second or sacral chakra and the reason is because of it's flow.  If you have blockage here you need to connect to that chakra and start to loosen that blockage to get your flow going again.  Other things might come up to block your flow but just like the power of water your love will always find a way around or through it!  Keep loving and keep living.
