Tell me that you'll love me forever...

Tell me that you'll love me forever.

Hold me tenderly in your arms.  Kiss me passionately. Reach out to touch me ever so softly. Let's laugh and play.  Let's tease a bit. 

 Flirt with me and entice me with your sweet words. Show me with your appreciative eyes that you think I'm beautiful. 

 I need to hear your words.  I need to know that I'm the one who turns you on.  I need you to whisper in my ear, all your wants and desires for me.

Share your dreams with me.  Share your heart. Share you life with me.

Tell me that you'll love me forever. 

passion...and more passion.

I've had the opportunity to listen to some very interesting conversations lately from some of my girlfriends.  The main topic..passion.  As a woman in her 40's ...my girlfriends and I discuss many topics that were once, taboo.  We now talk about what we want and need in our partners.  We know now...after being around the block a time or two....what turns us on.  

What do we want? We want our partner to be "in" to us.  We want a night of sweet romance and unbridled passion.  Is that too much to ask for?   We want great sex.  Is that too much to ask for?  We want lots of foreplay and kissing.  We want to be held...touched....kissed...devoured...loved. 

We want to know that your just as excited to be in the bedroom as we are.  When we walk into the room and take our clothes off for you and have you admire and appreciate what we have to offer.  We wanna give to you...and have you give to us in return.  We want a hot smokin night.  We want lovin that is passionate and hot.  We want to feel like we are the most beautiful woman in the world and.  We want to feel like no other woman can make you feel as good as we make you feel.  

We wanna be special is so many ways.  But....in the bedroom...we wanna know that we take the cake.  Tell us we are beautiful.  Tell us we are special.  Tell us that we are your shining star. Tell us that we are your "one in a million" lover.

Passion and romance....ahhh. 

The Power of Touch...

His hand reached out, to ever so softly touch mine.  Gentle at first, then playfully holding my hand in his, caressing my palms.  His touch sent a tingling down my spine to my toes.  I should be used to his touch...to him holding my hand..and yet it still surprises me how good it feels to be touched by him.

We are walking hand in hand..strolling along on the sidewalk...enjoying the beauty of the day. Talking, sharing, laughing and yes, touching.

As our walk ends...we sit outside and enjoy the sunshine.  Sitting very close to each other, i once again am reminded how great it feels to be near him..to be close..to have his leg brush mine as we are enjoying this moment in time.  Our time.

I feel the urge to go inside with him...to seek out privacy of closed doors....I want him to touch me again and again.   Ahhh...and just as equally, I desire to touch him.  To feel his skin on mine. Such power in our touch.  Such passion.  We were designed to be held...to be kissed and yes...to be touched. 

Can you imagine being touched lovingly every day for the rest of your life.

Kissing....Kissing and ahhh...more Kissing...

Shut up and kiss me!

Laughing....kissing is such fun!  It makes me happy, it gives us joy.  There are many ways to kiss and many reasons to kiss.  But, for my blog....I'm gonna talk about the passionate and romantic kisses.

When I first feel in love, I was 16 years old.  I had kissed a few toads, but then found my prince charming.  He was only 15.   That attraction was immense.  Then came his sweet 16th birthday and time for me to kiss him.  Awkward at first, yea.  Sweet...yes.  Exciting...very!  A kiss is not "just a kiss" when their is so much behind it.  In those first few months, we spent hours every week practicing and perfecting our kisses. 

 That's all we did, believe it or not.  We kissed and kissed. 
 It made our passion grow....for three and half years and we sealed our life together with our wedding kiss. Thirty-one years later....we are still kissing.

 I was talking to my girlfriend last night and she shared about her first kiss to her sweetheart. They had been talking, writing, sharing..getting to know each other long distance and after a year of this they finally meet and go out on a date.  Here is what she shared in her own words:

I first met him at the "Granite City" restaurant in Davenport. My sister, took me over there to meet him for the first time since High School. Sooooo...Initially, all we could do was hug or rather embrace each other in front of her. After she left, we went into the bar and got some drinks. I couldn't take it anymore so I said to him, "Come over here and kiss me!". He did, and we kissed and kissed and kissed, right there in front of everyone! 

I laughed and shared in her joy as she told about their first kiss. 

 "Making out", what we still call it today...is the prelude to making love.  It gets our juices flowing.  It puts us in the mood.  When our lips meet softly at first, tenderly, enticing...it sends shivers down our spine. Our minds run wild as our bodies react.  Then the tongues meet and that makes the passion peak. His soft, wet lips devouring mine... French kissing.  How did it ever get that term? The oneness we feel as we share that deep of a kiss.  It's a lovers kiss for sure.  It awakens our whole body.  It makes us tremble and shake with anticipation at what could lie ahead.

Are you still kissing? Tell me about your best kiss memory....or your favorite kiss. Do you place kissing in as high of a standard as you used too?  Do you think kissing is important?

I wish you many kisses....playful ones..... soft, sweet ones.... passionate and romantic ones.

Friends in your life..

Friends in your life are so very important...

My dearest and bestest friends...  You offer so much to who I am. You complete me as a person.  In my life, I have been blessed with the greatest of friends.  We surround ourselves with people who will lift us up. We associate with like minded people. We learn from each other.  We support each other in all our endeavors. We grow together.  We share. 

Sometimes, our sharing isn't always good.  Sometimes we have to make difficult decisions. Sometimes the advice we offer isn't exactly what they wanted to hear, but what they needed to hear.  We love them softly through hard times.  We are a shoulder to cry on, a listening ear, a secret keeper.

Friends in life are so very important...

They help your dreams come true.  They praise you when you've accomplished a goal.  They stand right next to you when the rest of the world hides in the shadows.  When you grow, they grow.  They are excited to see you succeed.  

 Friends in your life are so very important....

I had a friend once say "you know your true friends, when they show up to help you move..."  Yes, true friends will be there to lift your heavy furniture.  They will cry when you move away.  They will support your goals, your hopes, your dreams.  

They will last forever.  True friends.  They will hold a soft spot in your heart til you take your last breath.  They will be the ones holding you hands as you grow old and feeble. 

May you be my lasting friend forever.  May we grow old while holding each others hand.  May we always remember to share our love.  May we wish each other all the best in love and romance.   

To my Forever Friends... 

Wednesday.....a wonderful day for showing love.

It's Wednesday...a wonderful day for showing love.  And why not?  Why not pick any day or everyday of the week to show love.  And how does that go, anyway?  Well... what comes to my mind,  first is in our caring ways...our manners.

Being polite to the love in your life. It only takes a minute to offer a hand in a task that he or she is doing. It only takes a second to send a text saying "love you".  It takes a few more minutes for a phone call to ask how their day is going.  It takes some creativity to do more extra stuffs, like cards, gifts, poems, letters, surprises. 

Those take your love to a more romantic level.  So, you've never been romantic? No big deal. He or she wont know how to react?  No worries.  Just because you haven't been romantic in the past, is no reason you can't start now.

 

 They will love you for trying, for your effort.  It may seem awkward at first, but after a while, it will become a fun and great way to share your love.  

"Give me a suggestion Kimmie".  What I told one friend, is start simple.

 A piece of white paper with your note of: I hope your day was half as wonderful as you are..and then signed and left of the kitchen table. 

 Keep it real, keep it true to who you are.

Don't try to be Don won de marko...unless you can pull that off. LOL

Love and Passion should be heartfelt and honest. 

 It can be extravagant, elegant or simply playful and fun.

Enjoy your passion/romance today...i can't wait to hear all about it.

 

Happiness begins with me...

Am I happy? If not, I need to find my happiness. It begins with me. I cannot or should not expect anyone else to "make" me happy. My happiness begins with me and no one else. I am in charge of my own joy.  I know, sometimes that's easier said than done.  We live in a world where we want those in our lives to make us happy. 

Go back to when you were last happiest.  What was the key ingredient to that time in your life?  What would be your idea of happiness today?  What do you delight in?  Where does your joy come from?

Find the answers to those questions. Take your time and research your answers.  You are worthy of a long life filled with joy.  Your inner peace will come and contentment will fill your heart as well.

Once you are living a joy filled life, then you can offer love and happiness to those around you.  Then you can find ways to share the passion and romance with the one you love. 

It's starts with you first. Become the best you.  I'm growing too...I want this to be my best year yet.  I want to love more.  I want to share more from my heart. I want to see you grow and become all that your meant to be.

  Will i ask too much of you? Maybe at times, it may seem so.  Will i expect much, it may seem so.  Will i challenge you to stretch yourself, it may seem so as well.  Will i encourage you to dig deep within your heart to grow and learn.....always.  

When i see and read and hear of your happiness and love...i know that I have done my job here on earth.  For I truly believe that God created me to bring love and joy to others.   To offer sunshine, to encourage growth, and above all to give love.

How do I make him feel more loved?

Monday, Monday...da daaa, da da daaa..

What can i do to make him feel more loved?  Well, it's starts with knowing his love language.  Yes, I have read the book "The Five Love Languages" by Gary Chapman.  So, because i know what it is that makes him happy, I can choose to do those things for him. 

 What is your "love language", what is theirs?  Do you know?  And just as importantly...if you don't know, then do you care to learn?   How much effort are you willing to put into your relationship? 

I desire passion and romance, so to get it in my life...I need to give it wholeheartedly and without reservation or complaint.  Woman call me almost daily and are frustrated as to why their love lives are not more exciting.  

One of the first things I ask them is:  What are you doing to make him/her.. feel loved and desired? From there the conversation takes off and they share and share.

As my blog grows, I hope you will learn more about yourself as well as your partner.  If you truly want to make the most of your love life, then be open to reading, learning and at times...sharing. 

One thing I've learned is that I have many faults....I'm not perfect and never expect my friends and readers to be either.  This is real life here.  I know I will make mistakes as I journey to be a better woman, a better partner, a more romantic and passionate lover. 

I'm glad you've chose to make this journey with me. 

As we go through life...

As we go through life....we will have our ups and downs. Relationships aren't always pretty.

We will have arguments and "not so happy" moments. 

 Today...when a tense moment happened, I let it go. Sometimes it's best to let them vent.

 We are all allowed to be ourselves when around those we love, right.  So, you know,

loving someone, means accepting them where their at.  Some-days, "where their at" can

be uncomfortable for us.  It can be challenging or frustrating. But,

if we love them...then we love them through whatever it 

is that is bothering them. 

Love and romance happen even on these difficult days. Reaching your hand 

over to take theirs can offer a calmness.  Looking over and 

smiling or maybe a soft wink, so as to say...it's okay...this too shall pass. Offering

a hug when the time is right...or just being with them in silence.

You need to find what it takes to sooth your partner.  As the

giver, I am always looking for ways to make them 

feel better about their situation.  It's not about you, let them 

share, give them permission to open up

more often and they will.  

 

Romance doesn't just start and end in the

bedroom.  It's the way we treat each other all day long. It's

about respect and acceptance. 

May you love them unconditionally. Yes, it is possible.

Open your heart up, you'll be amazed at how 

much room you have, to truly love.
