You have permission to ask your honey what is romantic to them, and do as many as are okay with you! Enjoy your relationship!

You have permission to make a list of things that are “romantic” to you, and ask for them!

“One has to find a balance between what people need from you and what you need for yourself.” ~ Jessye Norman

“When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a manner that when you die the world cries and you rejoice.” ~ Old Indian Saying

Where is your list of dreams? Desires? Wants?

Get it out. Dust it off. Write a new one. Stop dreaming, start living your dreams.

At the age of 41, 4 gold plus silver and bronze medal winner, Dara Torres is the oldest member on the 2008 U.S. Olympic swimming team.  She said, “The water doesn’t know what age you are when you jump in, so why not? They may become harder to achieve, but your dreams can’t stop because you’ve hit a certain age or you’ve had a child.” Find your inspiration where you can, and use it to spring into your dreams, at any age!

Implementation is the secret to success. 

Decide. Act (implement). DO IT!

Stop wasting time trying to be perfect about getting rid of things. Put it in the donate box, or trash if it’s really no good, and let it go. You only lose more life energy and time by thinking and messing with it one more time.

If music, TV, the cell phone or other tech-gadgets are overwhelming your senses, shut them off. It’s okay to UNPLUG for a few minutes to hours to full days to regain your sense of self, sanity and senses lost in overstimutation.

Say NO to overwhelm.

Being a busy woman, a mom or working from home all have great perks, but they can also be drawbacks.  Be realistic with yourself. Work out a financial and time budget and ask for help.

If you have children, consider hiring a sitter or take kids to daycare, or swap kids with another mom for one day a week so you can get some uninterrupted time to take care of your mom or business work. 

House a mess? Hire a housekkeeper, even if it’s just to do the bathrooms! Don’t be afraid to ask (or pay) or help. You are worth it and so is your family and/or business.

It is scientifically known that touch heals our body and relaxes us. Add hands that are educated and practiced, and hopefully gifted at it, and you’re in heaven!

Your body needs a good full body massage at least once a month, if not more often as you can schedule it in and afford it. Relaxing your muscles, working out the kinks, making you feel all connected and calm are all very good reasons for taking care of yourself wholistically.
