  • Speaking My Language

    Hello Honeybees,

    It’s Valentine’s Day and love is in the air.

    I’m sure by now you have heard of The 5 Love Language book and quiz. I have read the book and taken the quiz and it always comes back the same…. My first love language is Acts of Service. For me actions speak louder than words. It doesn’t have to be anything overly dramatic or huge but it does need to come from the heart.

    So on this February 14th in the year 2020 I am sharing a few ways to speak my love language:

    A love note just because
    Running my bath water
    Packing my lunch

    All things car related, gas, air in tires, washing
    Doing the grocery shopping
    A random kiss
    Watching a movie together
    Going to a game together or watching a game on t.v.

    Bring me a glass of wine and a single flower stem at the end of a long day!!!!

    Taking the Love Language quiz together and talking about how to speak each others language would be an awesome way to connect on this day of love.

    I hope that someone is speaking your love language today.

    Do you know your love language? Do you know your partners love language?

  • My Favorite Valentine’s Day Memory

    Hello Honeybees,

    Happy Valentine’s Day!

    Valentine’s Day can hold some happy memories and for some people some not so good memories. For me I’m in the middle. I have experienced both the good and the not so good. I can take all the dark chocolate that you can give me, or a cupcake or a single flower. But I don’t need all the pomp and circumstance. Don’t get me wrong I truly believe in love and I love, love. I am always happy to see people in love. Seeing people in love makes my heart happy. I’m sure there will be plenty of proposals taking place today and plenty of babies born in November.

    Some people love the big splash on Vday, you know the one where there are enough balloons to float away, or enough flowers to open a flower shop or the stuffed animal that’s bigger than a small child. When I was younger I enjoyed the love day splash but as I matured I started to love the smaller more intimate gestures.

    My favorite valentine’s day memory involved only two people. Me & Him. Because he knew that I wasn’t big on big displays he prepared an intimate candle light dinner for two. All I had to do was dress up and show up. No restaurant, no waiting, no crowds. He did all the work, prepared all the food, set the table, and had my favorite flower. This was my first candle light dinner experience. It was filled with love, authenticity and appreciation. The fact that someone took the time to make me happy was as special as it gets. Even though the relationship didn’t last, I will always have this memory of what a real, to me, valentine’s day looks and feels like.

    I don’t think that Valentine’s day should make or break the relationship, it should only enhance the relationship. It should be one of the many special days that you celebrate the love that you share in a special way.

    I hope that today you create some beautiful memories of love.   What’s your favorite Valentine’s memory?

  • Love Is In The Air

    Hello Honeybees,

    This weekend we celebrate LOVE.  Even though Valentine’s Day is Sunday you will see the flowers and candy start to arrive at jobs & schools on Friday.  Maybe Thursday. Saturday night Walgreen’s will be packed with last minute shoppers.  Victoria’s Secret will not have many secret left to tell or sale. 

    I truly enjoy this season whether I have a “bae” or not because I love to see love. I love to be surrounded by love.  I love to see two people sharing that special glance, holding hands, just being in that moment together.  It does my heart good.  Watching other people enjoy love truly makes me smile. 

    I know that Facebook will be overflowing with sentiments of love.  There will be pictures of new couples and couples that have been going the distance for a while.  I’m sure that there might even be a few engagements.

     To them all I say Congratulations!

    If you are “boo-less” this Valentine’s Day don’t be discouraged. Love will find you when it’s your turn.  In the meantime be sure that you are ready to receive love.  Be open to new people and new experiences. You never know when and where love will find you.

    So this February 14th when you see the outpouring of love, don’t question it, don’t judge it, just sit back watch, enjoy, congratulate and know that in due season that will be you.

    Happy Valentine’s Day to all!
