Do Words We Use Really Matter
I was thinking the other day (No cracks from my friends please.) about the subtle differences between words that are commonly used, sometimes not used or mis-used.
Let me give you an example.
I'm sorry. This simple two word sentence can be interpreted so many ways and have so many different meanings for both the person who speaks them and the person who they are directed toward.

Encourage Your Spouse and Build a Relationship That Lasts
It seems that in our society it has come to be expected that women will
get together and criticize their husbands and boyfriends and men will
get together and put down their wives and girlfriends. Everyone has to
have a few sarcastic comments to fling at their partner, especially
when there is an audience around to laugh at their expense. We tend to
tear down the very person we claim to love. I think it has become so
common in our society that sometimes people don’t even realize they are
doing it.

Sacred Love - Healing a Broken Heart; Part 3
But if you want love. Well that’s a different story. Love means naked, raw, honest, exposed, vulnerability. I hear people say, “I need to trust before I become vulnerable” and that is a horrible lie. The only person you need to trust in being vulnerable is you. Shame makes us worry about trust. Why would we be holding back anything if it weren’t for shame. Shame means we are not worthy of love, therefore, we can’t trust ourselves being open and natural and vulnerable. So we seek out people with the same ego issues and open up to them, only because they agree that we are victims.

A Date to Remember - Tracked Down by an Ex-Lover
The Internet has made connecting and re-connecting far easier than ever before. In fact it is now effortless, but the question I beg is should we contact old flames just because it is easy to do so? We have to think about the other person's life and the effect it may cause them before we do. This only gets more true as time goes on, your life has changed significantly, surely theirs has as well. What impact will your casual hello have on them? It could be wonderful or catastrophic.

Everyday Gift Ideas That Will Make SPARKS Fly!
Guys serenade her by getting up in the middle of a fully crowded restaurant (not a cheap “all you can eat” type) and declaring your undying love for her in front of a bunch of “I don’t need a man to make me happy” man-hating women. Blaring “our song” outside her window in the middle of the night after you’ve had a nasty fight will get you back in the house quicker than you can say “Halle Berry”.
