Thank you for your friendship, Sherrie ~I’d be honored to have you post “The Love Letter” on your blog. Much Love & Many Blessings… Heather O’Hara P.S. You’ve got some very interesting websites… I will check them out! |
For those who love…
The Love Letter
It has only been a day, an hour, a moment, since I last told you that I love you… but are these three words enough?
Do you know that I love loving you? And when I say the words “I love you” …do you know why and how much?
I love you for what I have become beside you and because of you… I love you for loving me as I am, as I have been, and as I wish to be. It is through your eyes that I have seen little glimpses of myself—glimpses of someone who is changing all the time yet always complete and valued as I am… Yes, through your eyes—your beautiful, loving eyes—I have witnessed my own perfection… and yours.
I love you because you trust me enough to show me all of who you are—and within that trust I have found safety in being all of who I am for you. I love you because in my worst moments, you see not the lesser part of me, but the whole of me; and in that wholeness my heart is touched and my soul is soothed by your tenderness, your kindness… your extraordinary love and devotion.
You have loved me whether I was sitting or standing or falling or flying… and as you have loved me, I have learned to love myself—to honor the person that you honor; to trust the person that you trust; and to see the goodness that you see… in me.
I love you because you have allowed me to discover myself, and you, in my own time and in my own way. I love you, because beside you I feel free—and with that freedom, I have chosen greatness over smallness… and I have become more.
Every day that I have loved you, you have found value in whatever my heart is capable of expressing… No matter how awkward or obscure my feelings may appear—time after time, you’ve found the value and the truth in those feelings… and in me… and in “us.” Always in a new way—always on a higher level—you have shown me that “together” is the most precious way to travel; and every step I take with you I find myself rising further… into love.
You are so much more than my companion, my lover, my best friend… you are my starlight, my sunlight—you are the golden flame of my heart and the bonfire of my soul. Your love surrounds me, astounds me, lifts me into an edgeless sky and carries me to places that I have never been—and with every breath I take, I breathe in the warmth and the love and the light… of you.
I have watched you sleeping and prayed that you would awaken, still beside me, softly calling my name… I have reached for you in the night, knowing that yours is the only hand that fits perfectly with mine… And more than once, I have died in your arms and I have come alive again in those arms—arms that I love, because they are yours—arms that are strong and gentle… and true.
Yes, I love you for what I have become beside you, for what I have become because of you… and for what I have become with you. In loving you I have learned to love higher, further, deeper than I have ever loved before; and from that love has emerged a path that is perfect—perfect, because I am walking it with you.
Thank you, my love… Thank you for being all of who you are for me. It is an honor to love and be loved by you. As I love you now, I will love you always. And as we walk together through this world and into the mists of eternity, it is I who will wrap my arms around you—and, forever beside you… it is I who will whisper your name.

Dating Advice & Relationship Advice, Comments by Sherrie Rose, The Love Linguist
Wednesday, August 12th, 2009 Posted in Romance | No Comments »RELATIONSHIP ADVICE
(by Brandon Grittini: Core Values To A Lasting Relationship)
It needs dedication and determination if you want to stay together for long. Many
relationships are wrecked by jealousy, unfaithfulness, misunderstanding and
differences. How do you make sure that yours will last? How do prepare so that it
will stand the tests and difficulties? Here is a list of the core values necessary
to make it work.
1.Honesty. Be true to yourselves. Tell your partner everything about yourself and
vice-versa. There should be transparency in your relationship. So that whatever
happens, your partner will understand you because he knows everything about you and
everything that you do. Tell your partner what you want or what you want to achieve.
Help each other.
2.Trust. If your partner doesn’t trust you, it is more probable that your
relationship will fail. A bond without trust is like walking on a rotten bridge. One
wrong move and it’s gone. If there is doubt in a relationship, it will easily
succumb to trials and difficulties.
3.Understanding. You have to understand each other. You’re not two different people
but a couple. Listen to each other because you won’t be able to understand your
partner if you don’t listen to what he says.
4.Support. After understanding each other, you have to support your partner. Because
understanding is futile if you won’t lend a hand. It’s the same as saying that what
he’s doing is good, but not helping him and just watching him do all the works. You
have to show that you are there for your partner all the time.
5.Humility and Forgiveness. You have to learn how to accept your mistakes and
apologize if you need to. If you do something wrong, admit it.
6.Bravery. You need to have a strong heart to battle the challenges that lie ahead.
Be brave for the problems that will test the strength of your relationship. Learn
how to fight, instead of just sitting in a corner and doing nothing. If you’re not
brave enough, your relationship will crumble at the feet of these obstacles. But if
you’re willing to fight and you have each other to fall back on, you’ll surely
overcome these challenges.
7.Loyalty. Being with someone means entrusting your heart and soul to your partner.
You trust him to take care of you and be there for you always. If you’re not loyal
to your partner, what’s the point in having a relationship with him or her?
8.Love. In the end, it is love that glues all these values together. If you love
your partner, you’ll be honest to each other. You will trust and understand your
partner. You’ll be willing to support each other and be brave as you battle the
hurdles together. You’ll easily forgive if he/she has done you wrong or be humble if
you make mistakes.
These core values are essential for your relationship to last. But this is not all.
You have to strive hard to make each other happy and content. It takes time and
effort but it’s worth it.

I have a simple philosophy called the “love bucket.” Your personal values alignment determines if you can stay both on track for loves true north.
DATING ADVICE
(by Brandon Grittini: How To Date A Friend – 3 Steps To Make Your Friend Your Lover)
Dating a friend can be a little more difficult than dating someone you just met a few
times. The comfort level you have shared could be something that can put you in a
little awkward situation. Learning how to date a friend can be your first step in
dealing with this situation and you must take note of some considerations, as this
can be a little sensitive situation.
Although it is a little risky, there are also advantages of dating some you know for
years. If you can master how to date a friend, it can also be exciting and fun and
you may not have a hard time having fun and enjoying your dates because you have
already known each other for years – although you may not be able to feel those
‘butterflies-in-the-stomach moments’ because you have practically shared comfortable
times together.
One thing good about dating a friend is that if you both have mutual feelings that
you like each other and you both are looking into possibilities of being more than
friends. Sometimes friends can develop these feelings after some time of hanging out
together. In this case, learning how to date a friend can be a little easier than
starting from the very beginning.
Whatever is your situation, here are 3 steps on how to date a friend and be
successful in your quest to finally make her your lover.
- Think twice. If you want to date your friend, be sure you are sure about what you
are feeling. Is it just admiration? Is it just physical attraction? Do you really
see a potential partner in your friend? Do you accept her flaws and her not-so-good
attitudes? Indeed, dating a friend is risky because it can lead to losing the
friendship. If the relationship leads to a breakup, you have to consider as well
that the friendship will never be the same as before if ever you decide to remain
friends.
- Take your time. If you have finally decided that you want to pursue your feelings
towards your friend and you are willing to take the risk, do not surprise her by
pouring out your feelings right then. Most often, this will not give you good
results. Do not be so engrossed with what you feel. Find hints if your friend is
also having that feeling towards you. As mentioned earlier, the best situation you
can have is if your friend also has the same feelings for you. Drop hints, use body
language and do not rush.
- Be her lover, not her friend. If you want to be her lover, act as one. Start
bringing her to more romantic dates. Treat her to some fun and romantic activities
that you would most likely bring a date. If she has seen how you are as a friend,
this time, you can show her how you are as a lover. Start giving her compliments and
make her feel special. If she enjoys going out with you, the thought of having you
as a lover may come to appeal to her.
The basics of how to date a friend actually lies on having her to like you not as a
friend but as a lover, even without telling her about your feelings. Of course, you
know your friend, so you can find many ways to show her that.
Sherrie Rose, The Love Linguist Comment:
Good points, Brandon. I look at “friends” and “dating” as two ladders. That awkward situation you mention is trying to move across from one ladder to the other. It can be tricky. And, if you already have rapport with your friend and know the type of things (rings of desire) that fill her love bucket, you can be much more successful when dating in the long run. The ladder of success is best climbed by stepping on the rungs of opportunity. Do you know where the opportunity lies?

Life’s Golden Ticket Fills Her Love Bucket
Tuesday, August 11th, 2009 Posted in Her Love Bucket, Lovematism, Romance, Sherrie Rose Recommends | No Comments » 
There Are Only So Many Moments Left To Live, Love, And Matter.
(my comment to Brendon Burchard from Sherrie Rose, The Love Linguist)
Brendon,
I had the pleasure of meeting you several times and first time was last summer just three weeks after your wedding. Your business approach was unique and your story about how “Life’s Golden Ticket” came to be was fascinating. I loved being in the BIG TENT with you. It was magical.
The Golden Ticket is a metaphor for “taking action.” Sometimes we take action because of fear and sometimes because we are inspired. When we are comfortable it takes a lot to move us unless eventually boredom sets in. To start anew require a reason. You are a motivational speaker and have provided much fuel to take action.
Your story I like best is the lion tamer.
[excerpt: (They locked him in the lion's den but he was too cowardly to fight the lion in the den.)
Finally, Mary (his fiancee) appeared...
I ran between Mary and the lion. Mufasa (the lion) roared and lunged. I raised my arms high in the air and screamed, "MUFASA, GET BACK...GET AWAY FROM HER, YOU BASTARD!" Mufasa's eyes widened, and he stepped backward and roared at me and at Mary...I took another step toward him and screamed with all my might, "GET BACK NOW, YOU SON OF A---" I looked over my shoulder for Mary...she has disappeared.
I looked back at Larry (the lion tamer). "Something worth fighting for," he said.]
I like this story best because it is about LOVE. Love is something worth fighting for because there is SOMEONE worth fighting for. Since I write about love and satisfying a woman by filling her love bucket, the reason behind fighting or TAKING ACTION is very powerful. When you experience LOVEMATISM (see the website) your motivation is powerful and will take you to new heights.
Thanks for all you do, Brendon.

Life’s Golden Ticket reveals this message from Brendon Burchard:
“WHEN YOU WERE BORN a golden ticket was slipped into your soul’s pocket by your Creator. The golden ticket gave you privileged access to a world of choices – it granted you permission to be whoever you wanted to be and do whatever you wanted to do. You may not have known you were carrying this ticket all your life, but you were. Life’s golden ticket is now in your hands. And now is your moment of truth. You can either stand still and live yesterday or you can step through the gates of possibility into the life you were truly meant to live. The only price of admission is to release any anger, hurt, worry, or resentment tied to your old story and to have the clarity and strength to start anew. You can make new choices. You can live more fully. You can love more completely. You can make a great difference. Every moment is a second chance to unleash and claim the life of purpose and contribution that is your destiny. But beware. The only promise in life is that soon the gates will close, as there are only so many moments left to live, love, and matter. Stand still or step forward? The choice, as it always has been, is yours.”
