Romantic Idioms

If you have a heartbeat
There is still time for your dreams

I can hear your heartbeat


Our heart begins beating at four weeks after conception and stops upon our death.  It is the hardest working organ in our body and the one we associate with love, passion, pain and even the passing of time. 

Our beating heart is so important that it has found it’s way into our vernacular and in idioms expressing our most tender emotions.  Everyday phrasing such as “be still my heart or lose your heart” are commonly used to convey a heart that is beating hard and fast while being handed over to a new love interest.  Isn’t it ironic that we must lose our heart to show true devotion?

It is widely believed that our heart creates enough energy to drive a truck the distance of 20 miles.  If we were to combine those 20 miles from the moment our heart begins beating, to the last beat of our life, it would equal a long truck ride (bumpy or smooth) to the moon and back.

Therefore, when you say I love you to the moon and back, what you are basically revealing to your intended is that your heart has been beating only for them since early conception and will continue to do so until you take your last breath on earth.  You must admit, there’s nothing more romantic than that!

What are you thinking about?

Monday, June 25, 2018 Your thoughts control your destiny! "Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become  your destiny." - Mahatma Gandhi We tend to put a much higher premium on action than we do thought.  Though we've all heard the old adage, " it's the thought that counts ." Everyone knows that just thinking about something isn't the same as doing it.  Even people who get paid to think have to communicate those thoughts so that someone can act upon them.   However, your thoughts have more influence on your life than you might think. Yes, without action your thoughts may not be worth much, but in reality, it doesn't take much for your thoughts t

is fall in love with your work. Monday, June 4, 2018 Let’s Hear It For Monday! Thank goodness it’s Monday!  Yes, you read that right.  Many an innocent school child has said, “ Mondays are terrible, why do they have to be at the beginning of the week ”?  Unfortunately, children are not alone in this belief.  However, as children they don’t understand the concept of having control over how we view our circumstances.  It’s up to us to change the script and see the first day of the workweek in a new light. Here’s a new habit that will get you excited about Mondays and looking forward to the rest of the week: Treat yourself to one new personal risk. When writing out your list of goals for the week, make a point to set one aggressive personal goal such as; experimenting with a new recipe, reading a book or mastering a new exercise technique.  The point of this exercise is to provide you motivation during the week to pursue an interest that you enjoy.
