Write I love You on Each Other

This may seem a little childish but it is a silly little way of proclaiming your love for each other.  Simply put your write I love you on your partner someplace that only they will see it.  Maybe on their leg or on their stomach.  Maybe you just draw a little heart on them.  The beauty of it is they when they see it not only will they think of you but they will know how much you love them.

Your Own Silence

We are so swamped with distractions – television, books, cell phones, video games, music, email, the Internet, busy work – that we often forget the importance of true silence.  Time alone is vitally important to all of us.  It is time to reflect and go within to hear within and without.  This alone time is more powerful if you spend it without distractions.  Sit quietly by a fire.  Go out into nature.  Watch the snow silently falling.  Watch the waves roll in and flow out.  Breathe in life and accept whatever comes to you from your soul, your Spirit, the Divine.  Just witness it and honor it.  It is not necessary to interpret what comes to you.  Just be thankful for the quiet and the connection.

Find a field of flowers to walk though.

Summer is quickly coming to an end.  The most wonderful part about summer is the fact it lets us enjoy nature.  I want to suggest to the two of you that today, or as soon as you can, go out and find a wonderful place in nature to take a walk together.  I would recommend a field of flowers.  Not only are they beautiful but the smell can be intoxicating as well for the both of you.  As you take your walk appreciate each other and the simple things that each one of you brings to the relationship.  End your walk with a wonderful kiss and make sure to hold hands during you walk.  Have no other agenda in place just allow your relationship to relax and be present with each other.  

Don't Clean That Up Yet

Do you have a child that seems to make a complete mess out of the house when he/she is playing? Does this make you feel a little frustrated after having to pick up after him/her day after day? Well let’s look a little closer at what you are complaining about. I have often heard that some of the most creative people have issues with neatness. Papers strung across their desks, files in disarray, yet they still come up with the most amazing ideas and creations. Albert Einstein was said to have had one of the messiest offices ever, and I hope you would agree that his theories were amazing.


So as you look at the mess your child has created should you really reprimand him/her for it or should you look deeper into the mess and see the absolute beauty in it. The imagination that goes into playing and creating and yes leaving a mess behind is something we don't want to put a lid on now, do we? I would much rather see that child creating and making a mess than sitting lifeless in a chair playing video games. Understand that with a great imagination little bits of paper strung across the floor might be a vision of a snow storm or confetti from a party in an alternate plane or maybe even a cure for cancer.

Perhaps, the next time you are having trouble coming up with a good idea, you should sprinkle snow (paper) all over your desk and see what happens.

Don’t limit an imagination. Allow it to bloom and grow. That is where the truly great ideas come from.

Kirlian Photography shows the energy of love.

Kirlian Photography is used to show the energy in and around objects yet something amazing happens when lovers are photographed using this process as you will see below.  The couple in this experiment were instructed to place one finger each on a plate for the photograph.  Then they were given instructions on what to do and below is the outcome.

In the above picture the couples were to think unpleasant thoughts about each other.

In the about picture the couple were to think wonderful thoughts about each other.  See the energy starting to blend together.

In this last picture the couple were instructed to kiss and see how their energy blends totally together.  Once I saw these images I realized just how powerful love in our relationship can be.  It can combine our energy into a super energy a blended spirit.

Grow Herbs to help your health and your relationship.

Gardening can be on of the most relaxing hobbies you can have.  It is therapeutic as well as it can benefit your health by using natural herbs instead of processed ones.  It is also an enjoyment you both can share.  Pick out several herbs that the two of you like and get some pots and plant them together.  If you have children, it can also be a family project you can do together.  I would suggest even picking up some different herbs you have never tried before and giving them a chance.  Once your herbs grow and flourish you can start using them to cook in your foods.  You cannot believe the extra taste it can give your food.  Again this not only helps build your relationship by doing something together, but it also helps your health.  Find out what herbs help what health problems and construct your herb garden to help issues the two of you might have.  

Never Too Old

You are never too old to make changes.  Sometimes after so many years of stress and strain, years of ignoring or forgetting our true selves, so many years of shutting off the voice inside one can come to believe that it is too late to reconnect and make a difference.  That is just not true.  The sooner you are open to recovering your true self the better.  Too many people do not find their true selves again until they are weak and feeble with age.  If you are already there, so be it – it is still important to reach into your soul.  Yet, if you have the opportunity to make these connections before you grow old (and I mean really old - not just older), then take that opportunity and run with it (or sit quietly and cradle it to your chest).  I only ask that you do not turn your back on the opportunities to grow and expand spiritually and to find your true self – not just for you, but for those around you and for the World at large.

Here is a little trick to get your partner in the mood while doing laundry.

Next time your partner is doing laundry, use this little trick to suggest a little fun after the laundry is done.  Go to your lovers intimate draw or yours if you lover doesn't have any sexy sleepwear.  Pick out something that really turns them or you on.  While your partner is not looking throw this item in the dryer with a finished load.  Image what will be running through your partners mind as they pull out this sexy little piece of clothing from the normal everyday items.  For added effect you might put a note at the bottom of the dryer saying "Did you find my sexy outfit?  I would love to wear it for you" or "That sexy little number you found, I would love for you to wear that for me tonight!"  You might just find your partner doing the laundry a little more often this way.  

A Different Perspective

Sometimes we think we know it all. Other times we think we don’t know anything. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could find the balance and just hang out there in the middle somewhere? Even once we learn to stay in the middle more often we still lean one way or the other at times. Our ego just jumps into action and without thinking or feeling starts running headlong in that one direction. When we know it all, we become arrogant and have less compassion and/or patience for others. When we feel completely unsure, we may suffer from self-doubt, low self-esteem, and even for some--self-loathing.


When our ego tips the scale and we realize it, we just need to take a deep breath, quiet the mind, and consciously request the tension to leave our bodies. We want to open to possibilities and be open to other’s perspectives. We will, hopefully, learn a great deal from looking at things from a different perspective.
