In my last blog, I talked a bit about spring and how spring can be seen as the time for love, a time for restarting. I wanted to go into more detail about how the spring can affect our lives and our love lives.  It is time for a restart. What does this mean? No, it doesn’t mean to start a new relationship each and every spring. But what this means is to renew what you have, to find the beauty of things coming back to life. If we look at the flowers blooming, some are new flowers but some are old plants that open up to the world again.…

I have been thinking about this a lot, and I will be blogging on Mondays instead of Sundays. With spring being here and summer so close, my weekends are filled with all kinds of things. So I will change it up just a bit.  Spring, how I love each season, for each one has great things that come with the start of the season. Spring brings flowers and animals out of their hiding places. Spring brings out love and romance. Although I can find something romantic about all the seasons, spring is known to be a season for love. Why is that? Well, because it brings out a fresh start…

I often wonder what kind of humans we would be if there were no ability for love within us. It can be interesting to look at and analyze. Without love, who would we be? Would kindness not exist? How would we interact with family, friends our partners? It is an exciting concept and one that leaves many things less desirable. Without the ability for love, we would cease being human because love is the foundation of what we are. Without love, why would we be kind or care about others, family or friends? Without love, we cannot experience joy, and without joy, we cannot experience sadness or anger/ without love,…

I love to watch romance movies, especially comedies, in my off time. Why? Because in today’s world, love is not perfect. Love can be messy and funny, which is portrayed in these movies all the time. You can find a lot of truth when watching a movie because, like in books, people always portray a certain reality of life in movies. Sometimes romantic comedies show us a lighter side to love, and that love can be found in any opportunity. These kinds of movies want to create a sense of love that can happen anywhere, which I believe is true. Romantic comedies help us believe that love is possible. This…

I am currently working on two novels, one in the 1800s and one more nowadays. I find it fascinating how much there can be such a massive difference in writing and how some things are the same. The things that can be different are how people talk about what they were and what they used. Such as, we have cell phones now, as, in the 1800s, they did not. But some things are always the same. Love is universal and always present. That is one thing that I love about what I write. Love is a constant. Whether you have a cell phone or not, whether you wear fancy dresses…

“Doubt thou the stars are fire, Doubt that the sun doth move, Doubt truth to be a liar, But never doubt I love.” Hamlet Love is a universal thing. There is no life without love when it comes to us humans. Yes, we can say that our instincts are a driving force, but I do believe that the one thing that makes us so different from animals is our ability to love and that the love we have for another can change our behaviors in good ways.  I do not believe that our instincts are the driving force in our lives, but the love or lack of love that we…

In today’s world, fighting seems to be a natural response to many [people. People get angry and fight. People want things and fight. But this is not what love is about. Love is releasing the anger and seeing the other side. Love is about compromises and giving. It is about giving yourself to another regardless of what they say or do.  A famous saying is to make love and not war. People may see this saying as being sexual instead of going to war and killing people. I see it differently. I like to take this saying apart just a bit. Making love for me means using love as a…

“What do you want? You want the moon? Just say the word and I’ll throw a lasso around it and pull it down.” It’s a wonderful life One thing I know about love is that it can make people open up and want to give the person they love the world. This saying shows exactly how when a person loves another how much they are willing to do for the other. When you love a person, you want them happy. You want to be the reason they are happy.  I use this concept in my writing too. In my opinion, the journey that two people go through to get to…

“Love is a gift of one’s inner most soul to another so both can be whole.” Buddha I like this quote because it is how I see love. The love we share with others is a gift from us to them. And the love that is between two people is the most precious gift a person can give to another. So why do we give our most precious gifts away so freely? Because it is in us to give to others. It is why we can get hurt so easily because our love is meant to share with others. So I say don’t fear being hurt because when you love,…

In the world we live in today, people are always busy. People are rushing to work, trying to get things done, and the to-do list never seems to end. I see people are always busy doing this or that, and they forget to make time for love. Whether you are in a relationship, married, or trying to find someone, making time for that special person or person to be is important.  Time is all we have on earth. It is the most costly thing, yet we use it up so freely and not necessarily properly. Time passes, and we tend to forget that this is the one commodity we cannot…
