"The less you talk, the more you're listened to"
- Abigail Van Buren
I read this quote today and it hit home. Last night, I listening to someone special speak the kindest, most beautiful words to me and all I could do was listen...quiet during the silence...listening to the air around me...it hit me: I was about to speak frequencies...some of the most important words in my life...."You are my gift. I cherish you." Few words containing so much. My heart beating fast...my breathing steady...a gentle kiss...barely brushing my lips...radiating heat...ahhhh...the moments my life is made of...there it was - "You make it easy to love you....I love you."
Sweet bliss...absolute heaven.

| Okay, so
after yesterday's bulletin post...I received tons of responses from you
guys. It was awesome because you were all honest and upfront (two super
qualities in a guy btw...:P). It looks like we're all looking for the
"answer to dating" from the opposite sex...lol....
So, here's a followup to your letters. You all asked for a girl's opinion...a girl's approach...here it goes.....
When
you were asked about phone calls, all of you said that a girl calling
and asking you out was a turn-on. You said that it showed she was
gutsy, upfront, and not afraid to take a risk. You also said you don't
like games...that when a girl plays games...its a turnoff (that's a
relief to hear). Another comment from a guy friend said, "I believe a
woman can do whatever she wants. If asking a man out is what she's
comfortable with then have at it! And if the man has a problem with it,
then that's just it...he has a problem."
Here's the truth, you
guys. We girls don't like games, either. Actually, we HATE them. They
confuse us, they confuse you...aaugh...Trust me. I seriously think that
we all have been programmed or encouraged to not look too interested at
first when we find someone we like...hence the "wait three days to
call" rule? (do guys still do that?)....but we all don't realize what
we're doing....we think that we're being "cool" and "not pressuring"
the opposite sex But, in reality, we want to hear from each other!
Because the longer we wait, the longer we have to make up a story
about how the other "just may not be that into us". AND
THEN...By
the time, you guys contact us (or vica versa) we are reserved,
cautious, worried, sometimes insecure, and questioning. Then, we think
that we should play the same game...so we
don't text the other person back as quickly or call back as
quickly....and then it become this ridiculously twisted
scenario of misconstruded ideas and stories we have all made up about dating.
Guys,
we girls have all kinds of opinions and books about dating being thrown
at us left and right..."The Rules"..."He's Just Not That Into
You"...etc etc....Everyone has their own opinion about dating and how
it should be done and what it means. Women have been told that a guy
should call the girl...it's the old-fashioned approach...you guys were
told that too (i think - from what you all said in your letters). So,
you can imagine our confusion when we want to call the guy but we don't
know or understand or feel comfortable with how he'll respond to us
being straight forward.
The truth is that it should all be
thrown out the window. What happened to just being real? You know - if
you like someone - let them know. If something happens, it happens...if
it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. If you guys want to call us, then
call us. If we want to call you, we should just call you. If someone
has a problem with it, then someone has a problem with it. If someone
text msg's you and you like them, message them back!
In other
words....summary....let's just be real and enjoy life and enjoy people.
Let's stop acting so cool about ourselves. Do we need a manual on
dating? NO! If we do, the manual should be one page and it should read:
*Don't play games and be real*
SIMPLE. | | |

| Today was a difficult day....we had special church services in honor of my friend, Jim. I didn't expect the feelings...the emotions....I thought I had grieved and I was so wrong. It's was nice, though, to be with friends and family to share this time with them. Jim stood for something powerful - the human spirit. He accepted each person as their own and respected their individual humanity. Even if he disagreed with someone, he inspired and empowered them in their own view. That's a lesson anyone, including myself, can take.
For the past couple of days, I've been saying that something big is about to happen...in the spirit of new beginnings...I made a stand yesterday at work (oh yeah...and went back to my beautiful brunette-ness). What happened at work? I walked in after lunch and told everyone I was taking the rest of the afternoon off and cashing in my overtime. I wasn't requesting - I had earned an early afternoon after working 8 extra hours last week. I get paid for 40 hours a week and that's it...so guess what? I worked my 40 hours...it was time to go. I'm not up for a job where I'm pushed around...and until I can get out of it...I'm not going to live my days like I have been lately. | | |
