Love Brings…Energy - Van Gogh

Love always brings difficulties, that is true, but the good side of it is that it gives energy.

3 Things To Be Able to Live in This World: Love, Hold, Let Go

To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.

Wanna Go On a First Day Again With Your Sweetie?

"I don't know who you are, Henry...but I dream about you almost every night." -- Lucy

Check it out for yourself!

If She Is Confident, She's Sexy

No matter what a woman looks like, 

if she's confident, she's sexy.
Paris Hilton 

**Can't say that we are Paris Hilton fans, but this quote is something we can be a fan of!

Size, shape, hair color, eye color, blah, blah, blah…sure it matters to some extent to some people, 

but to be sexy - you simply need to be confident and then you can be VERY sexy!

Fall In Love On The Bus...

“For me happiness occurs arbitrarily: a moment of eye contact on a bus, where all at once you fall in love; or a frozen second in a park where it's enough that there are trees in the world.” - Russell Brand

Love Doesn't Move In A Straight Line

"Love is not linear. Sex is not rational. Emotions won't cooperate with the mind's methodical attempts to analyze lust's sticky substance.  The brain will not sit idly by and watch while the heart, lungs, groin, and guts break from convention and dive headlong into the sensual experience."  

-- Stephanie DeRosier via The Marriage of Sex and Spirit

Marriage Is An Institution - But What Kind?

A little humor for you today...

Marriage is a wonderful institution, but who wants to live in an institution?
Groucho Marx 

Of course, you can create a wonderful marriage...it doesn't have to feel like being trapped or locked in.  :)

Do You Think Love Stinks?

Well, geesh, Granny!

Did life make you angry or break you heart? 

Okay...so, earlier this week we shared a couple of lines from Kelly Clarkson's Tie It Up.  Why not share an opposite view... Love Stinks by J. Geils Band?  Granny sure seems to think love stinks.

You love her 

But she loves him

And he loves somebody else

You just can't win 

And so it goes

Till the day you die

This thing they call love 

It's gonna make you cry 

I've had the blues 

The reds and the pinks 

One thing for sure 

Love Stinks!

-J.Geils Band

Tie It Up

"I love the ring of your name

You're the ying to my yang

Oh baby let's give it a shot

Every wall needs a frame

Every ball needs a chain

I'm talkin' about tying the knot

Tie it up"

Kelly Clarkson

Affection is Responsible For Happiness

Be Your Lover's True Friend

Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is.

--Jim Morrison 

You Push Each Other's Buttons

"We can perceive the power inherent in things as they are - the radiance of fire, the solidity of earth, the expansiveness of joy, the tenderness of sorrow -- only when we drop our struggles with ourselves and our experience....[Yet,] each of us has some button that our partner pushes."

John Welwood, Love and Awakening: Discovering the Sacred Path of Intimate Relationship

What Is Considered Sinful in the West Isn't Really From Scripture

"Much of what the Western world considers to be sinful has little do with religious scripture.  The catalogue of sexual sins was largely invented by a small number of men living through the last years of the Roman Empire (c.4th-5th centuries AD) - the Fathers of the Church."
