It is Valentine’s Day!
And I wrote a few words for anyone who still longs after true love:
Touch Me, Kiss Me, Thrill Me
One of the loveliest aspects of romantic love is the enduring imprint it inevitably leaves on our heart and body.
Love, Paradise, & Johnny Cash
Like Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward… Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett… Spock and Captain Kirk… theirs was a great love story.
He was married with children. She was married with children. And maybe it was wrong, wrong, wrong. And I do not condone infidelity.
And whatever!
Let’s Live Romantically
Little acts of romance can happen every day if we expand the definition by making it more inclusive of all the people we love–mom, dad, brother, sister, friend, lovers–and then finding ways to weave it through the everyday fabric of our lives and the lives of our beloveds.
Wedded Bliss & I Don’t
First, a very important and necessary disclaimer:
I believe in love that fights.
I believe in love that sacrifices and gives every thing, every thing—and not think twice.
Remembrance: Deep, Meaningful, True
The very best films break open your heart; or remind you of something very important that you may have long forgotten or buried in some dark corner of your mind; or delight your heart and your mind with a new recognition of the stunning beauty and power of the human potential.
Choose to Love Better
What a hateful week it has been! At times I felt buried under a tonnage of stress: taking care of my mum; giving her shots twice a day (yuck!); witnessing her pain and despondency; dealing with my own health concerns; coping with my fears of the future, of failure, and of impotence; and, sadly, having to observe emotional callousness, too close to home and out in the world.
She Was Here
That is my little sister sitting on our mum’s lap. Isn’t she just darling?!
She died when she was just 17 months old. Today, July 22, would have been her 49th birthday.
