How can I feel in love every day? 

Here is what writing them has taught me:

Appreciate your beauty, not just your looks, but your energy, the way you move in and see the world as unique to you. It’s nice when your loved ones appreciate it in you, but so much more powerful when you believe it.     

Honor your journey.  You are who you are because of everything you have lived. You’ve likely failed a lot. You’ve accomplished a lot too. It’s the nature of life and not over. In a romance, we all know the couple will be together in the end. Knowing this isn’t why we can’t put the book down. It’s the journey that compels us to keep turning the page.

Give yourself what nourishes you. There really isn’t a need to wait for Mr. Right here.  No one knows you more than you. You deserve the roses, the facial, the vacation to Europe, and the beautiful beach. Make time to meditate, walk, enjoy the sunlight, workout, appreciate art, read poetry, and dream. Give to yourself as if you are the love of your life, because you are.

Enjoy the mystery.  Chemistry, déjà vu, or fate are unexplainable. Who knows why two people meet and everything changes for them? Every synchronicity must have a meaning but we may never know it. Why not sit back and enjoy mystery’s awe-inspiring beauty and adventure? The more we appreciate the mystery, the more it expands, and the more entertaining life becomes.

Have fun. There is a subtle art to enjoying the hell out of life. When you commit to fun, even the bullshit shines up.

Life mimics art.  Yes, it’s said that art mimics life, but I mean it the other way around. Art is a seed that blooms into the world and shapes it.  A romance makes a reader feel in love, sensual, and alive. A painting can hit the gut with its pure positive energy. Our feelings flow into life and form it. Surround yourself with art, books, music, dance, or anything that makes you feel in love and notice the uprising. It changes everything.   

With love and big hug,
