A Guide of How to LOVE

Изображение
Lately, I have been on this journey and wanting to write about the topic Love.  How to define it ?  What does it feel like ? and today I will focus on "How to Love". Why this topic has been such top of mind for me is because of two reasons. One, we are approaching "Love Month". It’s a hallmark holiday where we are flooded with commercials and products; chocolate hearts with red and pink valentines. I guess I like to see February as a whole month of celebrating Love, instead of just one day, Valentines Day. Two, its been a long time since I have "been in love" with someone and I am investigating what that actually means to then know if I truly am "in love" at the moment. So hence my journey… In my research I found this simple  guide  of "How to Love". The points in this guide may be obvious, but I also think they are a very good reminder that everyone may need. STEPS: Say it.  When you say the words "I Love You", t

Like the time you are in a fight and you wonder if the relationship will survive it. The time when someone really hurts you and you wonder if you can move past it. And the time you know you are in love but you are afraid to be the first one to say it. As I wrote about in my previous blog, “What is Your Body Telling You?“, I spoke about how I was scared to reveal my emotions towards this man in my life because I was afraid of what the outcome might be. That he may not return the sentiment or even worse would run. After too much time, holding back such feelings was starting to weigh on me. So I decided to take the plunge. My

The Past Love Exercise

I do believe that each man that comes into my life I learn even more about myself. The other day when I was in the shower I thought about the three men that I have loved and what about their characteristics that I was attracted to the most. This was my discovery. http://teresa.n-fukushi.ac.jp/mahara/view/artefact.php?artefact=332034&view=6079 https://www.foliospaces.org/artefact/blog/view/index.php?id=395442 http://mahara.hu/mahara/view/view.php?id=9647 https://mahara.ph-noe.ac.at/user/alla-kiss/must-haves-in-a-backpage-mate https://www.mahara.at/user/alkilfox/what-to-do-when-you-say-the-wrong-thing-on-a-backpage-date https://myportfolio.ac.nz/user/nora-angel/new-year-new-backpage-vision https://listovnik.sio.si/user/alex-winston/new-approach-to-backpage-online-dating https://elearning.alp.dillingen.de/mahara/view/view.php?id=721 http://xahara.bcu.ac.uk/view/view.php?id=2737 http://shigra.net-learning.org/mahara/view/view.php?id=817 http://dialogos.greek

Discovering New Skills and Passions from the Men in my Life

Изображение
I have spoken many times about how each individual that comes into my life I learn more about myself. Along with realizing the characteristics of the men that I have loved, I have also recognized the skills I have learned and the new passions I have discovered all from being in a relationship with each. San Diego San Jose Bakersfield Anaheim Beverly Hills One  Stockton   man introduced me to the passion I have for the ocean. He was a surfer living on the east coast (even though he should of been in California). We would travel to  Irvine   moving beach to beach in hope of finding that perfect swell. He taught me the patterns of the ocean and how this powerful wonderland could give you the thrill of your life or relax every bone in your body. I learned the ocean in many ways is a healer. And without this discovery I most likely would not be living my wonderful life, 6 blocks from the ocean. Another  Oakland   man taught me how to use a hammer correctly. But more

Making the Space for Love

A couple months ago, I was invited to participate in a book club. Five women in total comprised the group, all single, smart, and successful women. The book we decided to read is  Calling in “The One”   by Katherine Woodward Thomas. San Diego backpage San Jose backpage Bakersfield backpage Anaheim backpage Beverly Hills backpage Riverside backpage Oakland backpage Stockton backpage First, I must say, I dislike the title. It sounds like a séance and it sounds like I’m desperately seeking something intangible. I dislike it so much, I created a book jacket to cover the title. Irvine backpage Contrary to what most people think when reading the title, this is not a how-to book on finding the one. It’s about attracting the love of your life by exploring  who you are  and  want  for love in your life. Don’t let the title keep you from reading this book. The book is structured into 7 weeks with lesson/practice plans to be completed with each c

Are singles playing too many cards?

So why is it in a city that has a huge population of singles, I keep hearing over and over again that “dating in LA is hard”? It makes no sense to me. If there are a ton of singles, dating should be easy, right? Especially with all the dating experts, matchmakers and singles events than I ever thought were possible in one city, they are everywhere! I have to wonder why dating in LA has the view of being so hard. Maybe its because everyone drives everywhere and there is no public transportation, like the wonderful Metro system of DC or subway of NY. Maybe its because there are not many neighborhoods where you can hop to different fun spots within a walking distance from  Oelwein Backpage ? Maybe its the Hollywood scene, but then again, you really have to live here or have spent time here to know there is much more to LA than Hollywood. You have many types of areas here besides the Hollywood scene. My favorites are where I currently live, the awesome beach towns like Venice, Sa

To name or not to name, that is the question

I recently met a Harlem woman who refers to the men she’s seeing by where they are from and not their names. There’s “New York Guy,  and “ S ioux falls  Hookup .” I found it a little odd. When I asked her why she doesn’t use their names, she simply said, “Until there’s a ring, they are nameless.” I think that’s a bit extreme, but it’s her rules of engagement, no pun intended. Another friend in the group agreed saying it was a bit materialistic. She suggested the guy remain nameless until they are in a committed, monogamous relationship. Hhm… the group pondered. So, there’s “Airplane Guy” and “Crack Cocaine Guy,” another friend added. It became an entertaining conversation as everyone started thinking what noun best fit the men they were dating. We each have dating”rules” that we follow even if unspoken or subconscious. For example, there’s my friend who bestows the title of “boyfriend” on the guy who meets her 3 point criteria: 1. They must see each other at least three ti
