What does your smile say?

Pinks
“I like him because he smiles at me and means it”      –AnonymousSuch a simple quote. It’s very simplistic in its words but full of meaning. Most of us, can tell the difference between a fake smile and a real smile from our significant others’. Hopefully, we care about them enough to inquire about the fake ones. But having someone smile at you, and you catch the millions of meanings that their smiles convey is a treasure not found by many. Imagine yourself sitting in a room with your significant other on a random Sunday morning. You’re both enthralled in different things at the moment. But then you happen to glance up at the same time and he doesn’t say anything but smile. The smile only lasts for a second and…

Dreaming

Pinks
Imagine and image of the imaginary mindFocus on an unfocused dreamTell a story that was told twice overAnd bound a bond worth a bundle; and you’ll find meStill where you left me the first day you met meOf maybe it’s reversedYou’re worth every memoryAnd the time it took to make one…If I imagine an image of the imaginary mindAnd if I focus on an unfocused dreamI’ll find you…right where I left you the first day I met youThis time not reversedNow think of me as I think of youAnd we’ll smile foreverA light worth shining in the darkest place-Kaydee

Outside ForcesA relationship is a state of connectedness between two people; two meaning a couple, the sum of one plus one, me and you...etc. When other people are figured into this equation it can cause a rift, divide, or even over crowding for the initial " two" people in the relationship. There is a saying, "three is a crowd" and in a relationship, this is definitely true. This crowd could include parents, a mistress, and the most common...friends. To some people, their parents opinion of their significant other is a major deal breaker. For example, a girl's mother or father may not approve of her boyfriend, so they may try to keep them from seeing each other, make their relationship hell, or even make her stop seeing him. The "…

Weight Loss Failures and Success: Part IV

Neutrals
         Weight Loss Success!!Ok, so I know you have heard enough of what did NOT work for me on my weight loss journey. Now it is time for me to let you know what has worked for the last year! This is the first time in my life that I have been able to keep weight off for this long and I finally realized why I have been able to do so. It is because this whole weight loss thing has to be a LIFESTYLE change. I finally realized that I can not just "diet" because diets are something that you are on and off. I knew that in order for me to maintain the weight loss (and eventually reach my goal weight) I had to make changes with the way I live my life. So with…

Life as the RB: Wisdom, Courage and the Drive to Move forward (Finale)

The road to self-fulfillment, after a relationship, may take months to get to. The RB can’t give up.  Be prepared to hit the bumps, and pot holes that lie ahead on the journey.  The road to recovery is going to test your strength and your ability to handle complex situations.  These of which are essential qualities needed in order to fully gain the most of the next relationship.At this point, strength has been tested due to the RB being in this stage.

Removing those Rose-Colored Glasses

Pinks
“Life has taught us that love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction.”Antoine de Saint-Exupery“How do you know you love him?” Often times the answer to this question is, “because I think about him all the time” or “because he takes me here or buys me this.” Fairytales and the media have illustrated a, sometimes impossible and highly unbelievable, view of what love and being in love means. Antoine de Saint-Exupery provided a very simplistic way to look at love that is very powerful and thought provoking. Living life and experiencing all that life has to offer helps us distinguish between what’s real and what’s a characterized version of the real thing. Learn from your experiences in life and understand that…

Words

I am in love with love.I'm in love with the feeling it gives me.I read my words and the words of othersAnd I come to find that they can express love in ways unimaginableBut also straight from my heart it seemsI can find meaning in their wordsI can make sense of themWords speak to meAnd what they say is,I want a man that can say to his friends,"I love her and that's the beginning of everything."--F. Scott FitzgeraldI want to be able to say to someone I love,"I love you, not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you."--Roy CroftI believe love is so much more than romance.I believe,"Love is friendship set on fire."--Jeremy TaylorI want a man whose soul can speak to…

Dear Bentley

Relationships: One to ManyPredator and PreyLadies, what are some signs that show or tell us that a guy is interested? He calls first, he tells us what we want to hear or maybe he is generous with racks on racks on racks? Well these factors may be true, but in reality we all know it's what a guy DOES not what he SAYS. Some ladies fall victim to what is coming out of the predator’s mouth. (I like to look at women and men as predator or prey)... In some cases men are prey to very dominant women or vice versa. But most of the time men are the predators and women are the prey- this meaning that men should search out to catch a woman and not the other…

Weight Loss Failures and Success: Part III

Neutrals
There are a host of diet pill name brands that fill the shelves at Wal-Mart and all of your local drugstores. Some appetite suppressants can be prescribed by your physician (and if you are seriously interested in taking an appetite suppressant I suggest you see your doctor). However, there are millions of people who have relied on non-prescription diet supplements in an effort to lose weight. On my many weight loss journeys, I too have taken non-prescription diet pills. The pills that I took are called Hydroxycut and are still available in stores today. Considering the fact that any type of drug can have severe effects on the body I knew it was important for me to take extreme caution while taking the pills. I took diet pills when I was trying to lose 15 pounds.…

Life as the RB: Wisdom, Courage and the Drive to Move forward (part III)

Plums
An important thing to do in this stage is to learn you.  A broken heart doesn’t heal itself. It takes the effort of that individual to make them whole again.  This is the opportunity to really enjoy you.  Find out the things you like and don’t like. Living life without limitations places you in a predicament where you get to know yourself more.    Take risks. Do things you haven’t done. You have all the time in the world to figure out what it is you are all about.  Everybody has something they like doing. Take advantage and fully indulge in it. Being able to live a fulfilled single lifestyle properly prepares you for the time you will need to give to the right one.Another good thing about this stage is…
