One thing I like about Christmas is being around people you care about. Christmas is all about those you care for. It is more than buying presents or all the decorations. It is about togetherness. Taking the time to be with those you love. This is something we should do all year around, yet many do not take the time to spend with those they care about. Love is a great thing, but what is love if you do not take the time to enjoy the person you are with. Christmas is a good reminder to spend quality time with those you live with and enjoy each minute you have…

I cannot believe how fast this year has gone. I have been so busy with all the Christmas things to do, that I was even forgetting my blogs. This year has been quite a year, and this Christmas time is just as full and amazing. One thing I love to do during the Christmas season is going to all the Christmas markets. I love looking at all the things that people can create during Christmas time. The lovely decorations, the exciting new things that I have not seen before. Even trying new flavors or old ones is fun. Christmas will always remain my favorite time of year. So, take out…

Although we are not in December yet, we are close enough to start experiencing all that beautiful Christmas magic. How much I love Christmas. Everything that has to do with Christmas is fun. One thing that I find a wonderful time to do this time of year is looking at Christmas lights.  Walking down the street at night, when there is a fresh coat of snow on the ground, looking at the lights, is a very romantic way to spend time with your partner. And it costs nothing but time. I always say to everyone I know, it is not the amount of time spent but the quality of the…

I have always thought that every relationship is a give and take. You cannot have a good relationship with always being the one giving or taking. It must be shared between the two people. We need to find partners who are there to pick us up when we need support as much as we should pick them up when they need support. A partnership is a relationship, it means sharing burdens and triumphs.   I want to be with someone who will pick me up when I need support, someone who can see past my worries or fears and can patiently reassure me throughout any issue I come across. I…

Listening is a skill that I believe most people do not use to its full potential. Listening is an important part of a relationship because it allows you to know where you stand with the other person. However, you need to know how to listen effectively. Anyone can use their ears to hear what others are saying, but a part of listening is actually retaining the information that the other person shared with you. Listening is also hearing how the person feels while they are speaking. Effective listening is not just hearing, it is much more. In a relationship, it is important to listen effectively to your partner because they…

Have you ever wondered about when you are in an argument with your partner and how this sometimes works? Yes, sometimes we argue because someone did something wrong and they do not want to take responsibility for it. Yet most arguments, I firmly believe, are because we just see things differently. Different perspectives on issues will cause us to argue with our partners. But instead of arguing, why not see it from their side of things? If both partners in an argument would take the time to see things from the other, the arguments would not last long because there would be more understanding about each other and why we…

Sometimes it can be hard to love again. When we were left heartbroken and lost, or when we have had enough, with all the trials and errors. But we must keep hope alive. And one thing that we should always keep hope in is love. We must hope to find love for love to find us. If we stop hoping, then we stop believing that it can happen to us.  If we no longer have belief then even if it comes to us, we will not see it. Love is a great thing to have in our lives. But many tend to stop seeing the love we have around us…

It is starting to get cold outside and the feeling of warmth and connections between people become bigger. Although this is something that can happen any time of the year, I feel that when it gets cold outside we are more prone to snuggle which allows a person to connect with their partner on a different level. I do love the fall, when it is cold enough for snuggling yet not so cold that you do not wish to leave the house. It is good to have that option when you have a partner. Walking is one of my favorite things to do with someone you care about because you…

I love the fall, it is my favourite season. How beautiful it is with the leaves changing and all the colours. It also is when the best holidays are, from Halloween to Thanksgiving to Christmas. I love everything with fall. Even the smells and all the autumn flavours are out, how wonderful it is. From apple picking or pumpkin picking to all the fun outdoor activities you can do with those you love. From apple cider to pumpkin pie to all the goodies you can have during this season. What is there not to love about fall? The colours on their own are miraculous and then you add all the…
