The Best Valentines Gift For Loved Ones - You By Shira Litwack

OK - tough adaptation and I won't give up my career or devotion to health and fitness... however I do always say there is absolutely no better way to show love for another than by contributing to their health... now there is true love.
My issue with the notion that 1/365 days we celebrate "valentine's day" is I feel it is almost a mockery of true love. I am all for Mother's day, Father's day... thats appreciation for the people who gave us life. And showing appreciation for others is respect and in some ways humbling and gives us perspective, which is integrity building.
A lesser known attribute of February - that warm fuzzy month (NOT) for many of us, is that it is heart health month.
The heart - the ultimate sign of life. As all of us Moms had our first ultrasound we lay there so excited to hear & see that heartbeat coming from within. That moment is the sensation of true, relentless, I will sacrifice anything for this person, love.
The heart that literally pumps life throughout the body, the definition of the start, and end of life.
So... I am NOT the Grinch trying to steal Valentine's day. The hope of love is it should be coddled by loyalty, devotion, we aspire for it to be endless. We are gasping for air in a disposable world, stresses bombarding relationships every which way. Let's show our sweethearts how much we love them, and how excuse the corny line from Jerry McGuire "You Complete Me".
Let's Make this Valentine's day about true love, let's redefine and extend eternity. Here is my suggestion for a truly romantic Valentine's day:
Instead of the over sugared, waxed box of chocolates (with very little true chocolate) that will be pumping insulin and triglycerides for weeks, head to the dollar store and pick up that tacky heart shaped box. Fill it with squares of some yummy dark chocolate (the higher the cocoa content the better), some cherries, grapes,... honey, figs,bananas... and btw... all of these foods are on the top 10 list of food aphrodisiacs... and yes... show some thought went into your gift, thought of time and thought of health, thought I want to be healthy erotic & sexy with you for manyyyyyyy years.
Chocolate dip (please dark chocolate the real stuff) strawberries, roll in unsugared coconut, refrigerate... feed to your lover... yep I don't have to tell you any more.
Don't just buy cut flowers, buy a rose bush, one that will keep blooming for years to come, and when you look at it together you renew your vows of looking after each other. Thorns are good - they remind us life is full of thorny patches, and yes together we will overcome.
OK, I'm a chick flick person too, you should see what is stored on my PVR... but how bout time together to talk. Make a list together (how bout on some sexy paper, not the computer, like in your own handwriting... ) what we can each do to make each other's lives healthier, less stressed, more fulfilling. Frame it. Please, no emails, text messages... come on work with me here.
Love is helping loved ones live a quality of life unencumbered by sickness. Be fit to have the energy and joe de vivre you and your family may celebrate for years. You know the expression, live long enough to be a problem to your kids...
Happy Valentine's day... a very Meaningful, introspective Heart Health Month, and I always have to put this in there... a life of living cancer free.

MOMENTS with YOU By Dennis and Barbara Rainey

June 16 Out in the Open The man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed. Genesis 2:25 Being "naked" but "not ashamed." This is why we get married—not just to have sex, but also to become emotionally intimate with another person. We want someone we can be openly transparent with, someone who accepts us, even when we're being our real selves. Yet although this is what our souls long for, many couples—especially young couples—hide this need behind the mere act of sexual togetherness. They find having sex easier than opening up to each other spiritually, where the potential for hypocrisy and awkwardness always exists. Sex can be easier than opening up emotionally, letting someone else in on their fears and worries and dreams and deepest feelings. That's why, even when the level of sexual intimacy is high in a marriage, the level of real transparency can still be surprisingly low... and subtly debilitating....

Romantic Words For Him By Alexandra Fox

Sometimes, I give lectures and seminars   to groups of women around the country.   Mostly small groups of less than 50   women, but I still have a lot of fun   meeting them and listening to their love   problems -- and giving them   life-changing solutions!   After giving these talks for several   years, I've learned something very   important -- the way I speak to my   audience has a big effect on how they   respond to me. And certain words have a   much bigger effect on them than others.   It's not just me, either -- I've also   realized, especially during our open   forums, that virtually every woman in   the world "talks" to herself. This   self-talk is often unconscious, and --   unfortunately -- it's also often sad and   depressive. Many of my clients look at   themselves small -- "I'm not pretty,"   "I'm not sexy enough," "I'm not as smart   as I w...

A review of the book 'four loves' by c.s.lewis

"We need others physically, emotionally, intellectually; we need them if we are to know anything, even ourselves." We hear often that love is patient and kind, not envious or prideful. We hear that human love is a reflection of divine love. We hear that God is love. But how do we understand its work in our lives, its perils and rewards? Here, the incomparable C. S. Lewis examines human love in four forms: affection, the most basic, general, and emotive; friendship, the most rare, least jealous, and, in being freely chosen, perhaps the most profound; Eros, passionate love that can run counter to happiness and poses real danger; charity, the greatest, most spiritual, and least selfish. Proper love is a risk, but to bar oneself from it--to deny love--is a damning choice. Love is a need and a gift; love brings joy and laughter. We must seek to be awakened and so to find an Appreciative love through which "all things are possible." " The Four Loves  deserves t...

Are You Suffering From Dating/Love Fatigue? Alexandra Fox

Dating is not for sissies. But let's not forget, we're WOMEN, so let's fix those love and dating conundrums, shall we? Nothing is as frustrating as just not getting that connection...and nothing is as important as asking for directions! Mailbag Day: Get answers for the most frustrating love questions Q. Hi Alexandra , I am so glad I found you because I really need help. I have been dating this guy for over a year now. Perhaps I shouldn't say dating... It is more like we see each other every now and again and we always sleep together. In between, we will text and we are also Facebook friends, so we stay in touch.
