***HOW TO LOVE (a man or a woman)***

Love your mate by knowing him. Let your actions be the love that excite his loins, tease his mind, and satiate his soul because you SHOW him that you truly KNOW him.

Know his hopes & dreams, visions & passions, temptations & aversions, joys & pains, failures & victories...

When you massage away his pain, reward his victories, wet his desires & passions, distract his temptations, deflect his aversions, color his visions, build steps to his dreams, encourage him through the failures & ignite his hopes... you have loved him. You have loved him because you have known him.

$20 REMINDER

Posted August 25th, 2008 at 01:07am

Sometimes we just need to be reminded!

A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20.00 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill.

He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. "Well", he replied, "What if I do this?" And, he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty.

"Now, who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air. "My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.

Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who DO LOVE you. The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE and WHOSE WE ARE. You are special. Don't EVER forget it. If God brings you to it - He will bring you through it."

Count your blessings, not your problems. And remember: amateurs built the ark .. Professionals built the Titanic.

WHEN LOVE JUST ISN'T ENOUGH

Posted August 04th, 2008 at 02:21am

Dr. Stroud,
"I have given myself in love endlessly but her past haunts her and keeps her from loving in return. What to do?"

ANSWER: When you have truly given yourself to another person, saturated them with your entire being, listened supportively, comforted ceaselessly, forgiven mercifully, praised relentlessly, prayed for unyieldingly, loved unconditionally, weathered the storm timelessly.

When you have done this, it has been your unselfish CHOICE subconsciously made from your desire to accept the calling of love; however, "Many are called but few are chosen." Your mate HAS been chosen but have YOU? "Don't spend your life trying to convince a woman/man of your worth. If they can't see it for themselves, then you are not in their line of vision"

Her fears have her locked inside a comfort zone that keeps her feeling safe, yet she sacrifices the potential for true happiness. This is simply the "slave" mentality. Sojourner Truth headed back to slavery for fear of the unknown.

She must be emancipated. Tell herself, "YES IT HAPPENED but now it's done." Now she must choose to either stay "there" or choose you.

That is the tough love ultimatum that you must give her. Nothing you do now will release the binds. She has to "Hear" you and HIM. So give her something to HEAR. As Dr. Martin Luther King wrote in "A Letter From a Birmingham Jail", "In any nonviolent campaign there are four basic steps: collection of the facts to determine whether injustices exist; negotiation; self purification; and direct action"... The same applies in general life. You have evidence of your committed efforts to love, you've been there through it all, negotiated and been patient, apologized and adjusted your character in ways to purify your heart and leave her blameless but now... it's time for direct action.

And when she says "But wait! Give me more time" King says, "For years now I have heard the word "Wait!" This "Wait" has almost always meant "Never."
~Dr. La Tatia Stroud
