The Painting of Romantic Love

Someone asked me tonight what Romance means to me and to sum it up, I would have to say bringing the highest degree of importance and sensitivity to the relationship.

It's flattering to be called a fantasy maker but the reality is relationships take a lot of hard work to maintain. I'm proud of mine and cherish them. I have no regrets and have learned from them all.

I could write all night about this and probably the rest of my life but the important issue is that your needs are being met and your clearly visible in the partnership.

Making the relationship number one is hot. Making yourself happy is even hotter. Staying an "I" while engaged as a "We" is challenging. Relationships bring so much out of us and offer so much value. Romance is just one component in making the magic last.

Roses are red and many other colors too.

Relationships are deep and complex and are so subjective to interpretation. If you want more romance in your life, then ask for it or produce a new love story that leaves you wanting more...

Everyone has a different opinion and story about romantic relationships. Make sure you stick to your story in order to get what you want.

My relationships have made me who I am and when I die, I'll wish I had more.

Despite my challenges and hardships, I love my life and that's romantic. It all starts with you. Someone once asked me if I would date myself many years ago. I said yes and now I ask that person how bad they would like to fall in love with themselves and what this would look like?

Next up: What is Romantic love for those who have never experienced it and why does it move so fast and sometime vanish without warning (or so it seems)? TBA

Valentines Day Is Everyday

Sweethearts celebrate everyday and that makes 2/14 just another day.

Be My Valentine And Know The Name Of My Sorrow

Being intimate on Valentines captures a very unique snapshot of who you are in so many ways.

Knowing the Name of my Sorrow can't come any closer. Getting closer is the name of the game and when you lace that connection with the best intentions then get ready for an exotic day that feels like it never ends.

Valentines Day brings you deeper roots and textures the thrill of life without depriving you of painting a picture that's lovely and full of rich color.

Dialog from a Sweetheart...

She leaned over and asked "what do you do for a living?" and I said "I work in sales" and she looked into my dilated eyes that were flooded with her reflection - she asked "what do you sell" and I said "you can't taste it, smell it or see it but when you feel it, you'll know your sold and you'll never have anything better". She said "are you an actor" and I said "I just am who I am, I mean, whatever and whoever I am". I was once described as high intensity industrial strength drug. Is that what I sell? No one and no job can judge you or define you better than yourself.

Valentines is one more chance to reveal the real you even if there are an infinite amount of different sides to you. This conversation can come years after a couple meets and should be no surprise. People change and relationships are deep and wide making them very complex. Anything can happen and often does. Truth is stranger than fiction.

I change for a living and that sure beats what others describe as boring. But then wouldn't you want anything but boring on Valentines Night and the celebration of your most intimate moments?

And just what is The Name Of My Sorrow and what's yours? Perhaps it's yet to be named?

It Happened In Beverly Hills And Now It Can Happen To You!

I just celebrated Valentines with someone who just meant the world to me.

I have not been touched like that in years and am thrilled that after all I have been through I can still enjoy the freedom to be me and share my secrets. My pain, sadness and grief. We all have it but how many show it and who can we really trust? Love takes time.

A lie will kill a relationship faster than anything but I was so honest and that's the naked truth. I was visible and so real one would think I was unreal.

I trusted her and we created a happening. I live each day as if it's my last and this Valentines really counted.

Trust yourself, accept yourself and others unconditionally and don't wait for your second life to enjoy Valentines 2008.

Release yourself today and love yourself forever.

Feel all of yourself and dedicate this year to being free of whatever you think is holding you back - within reason and make everyday a Valentines dedication day worth owning.

Love Is All Around - Just Look Around

Just look around. You always have more options.
