Adoration…

Is there someone in your life who you deeply love or adore?  Take a moment today and appreciate or adore them.  From the heart.

  • Call your family…or at least your Mom…and tell her you love her.
  • Send a thank you card to a girlfriend.  Thank them for being your friend!
  • When your husband or boyfriend comes home tonight, drop everything & run over and give them a huge hug and smile.  For extra credit give them a passionate kiss!  When they ask “What was that for?”  Say…”Just because,” or something similar.
  • Buy some flowers and give them out to women you don’t know.  All day long.  Enjoy the surprised expression on their beautiful faces.
  • Buy some Valentines and get them ready not for the men in your life…but all the women!
  • Buy your brother or best guy friend a six pack of his favorite beer.

Finally…in celebration of yourself:  book yourself a manicure or pedicure, take a  spa bath with candles and stay there until you are the definition of prune or smile at yourself in the mirror and say “I love you.”

With Love, Laughter and Play, Goddess

My Love Affair with Myself Passed on to You

It’s coming up, ladies…Valentines Day.  The concept is wonderful.  Let’s celebrate our love!  But the over-marketing has taken a lot of the joy out of it for me.  What will he get you…the wait and anticipation can drive you nuts.  And for the guy…he really has to produce something amazing.  And men LOVE to produce.  (upcoming blog)

 

 There was a great commercial on the radio last year.  Two guys were discussing Valentines Day.  They had no idea what to get their girlfriends.  Worse, the things that women love to receive they don’t really understand.  (Hello anything from Victoria’s Secret) They were dumbfounded on how to produce for their girlfriends.  “This is like her Super Bowl,” one says.  LOL.  Ladies, they get the importance to you and don’t want to disappoint you.  They just don’t understand all this forced lovey dovey stuff.  Like we don’t understand their fascination with football.  So…the solutions, fair ones?  Fall in love with yourself so one of the following will happen:

 

 

  1. You are able to communicate exactly what you would like to your man:  clearly, concisely one thing.  One want at a time.  Then be thankful and excited when he does it for you!
  2. If he does get the wrong thing, you still must appreciate his effort!  Anticipation of what he may do kills this for us.  And guys know we anticipate certain things and fear he won’t meet your expectations.  This is why you must thank and appreciate what he does.   He will see that you appreciate the effort he made and will be grateful you didn’t lose it on him.  (blogs coming up on how men deliberately test you)

Remember…most men DO NOT know what a woman wants.  (See earlier blog)  It takes patience, knowing exactly what makes you glow and clear communication to make him understand what you want.  This solution also works for the luscious single gals as well.  Hearing and seeing all the love from happy couples sometimes makes you want to throw a shoe at the TV.  Focus on lovely you, instead.  The world is so lucky to have YOU!!!! 

Your assignment today is your “Love Affair with Yourself.” 

  1. Do you know what your favorite chocolate is?  I conducted my own little chocolate survey.  I love Callebaut dark chocolate from Belgium and Teushcher Champagne Truffles.
  2. What would be the perfect date night for you?  Where would you go? Would you stay in and have your own little music or movie festival?
  3. Write a love letter to yourself.  What is fabulous about you?  Write it and post it up so you can enjoy it.  Put it on pink paper and perfume it like Elle Woods from Legally Blonde.

Have fun!  Love, Goddess
