Love Letters: Devotion

-

I thought I would start a little more serious a column I'm titling "Love Letters". (You never know what's going to pop up on my blog.)" Today's topic is about devotion.
Inside the heart of every man
There is a lust you understand
And I'm just the same
When all the love has gone away
And passion stares me in the face
Could I walk away
Here's hopin'
You'll help me to be brave
Devotion save me now
I don't wanna stray from the hallow ground
I'll turn temptation down
I'm asking you to take me to safety this time
Forgive my thoughts when I'm asleep
Forgive these words I'm yet to speak
I feel so ashamed
Right now you seem so far away
So much confusion clouds my mind
And I don't know which path to take
Here's hopin'
You'll help me to resist
Devotion save me now
I don't wanna stray from the hallow ground
I'll turn temptation down
I'm asking you to take me to safety this time
Devotion, devotion
I'm a slave onto the mercy of your love
For so long I've been so wrong
I could never live without you
Devotion, devotion
Take me to safety

 Ever heard songs with the word "devotion" in them? He's devoted to his love. I never knew what it was like to have someone devoted to me. Yes, I was married, but that doesn't mean he was devoted to me. Have you ever had someone devoted to you? Until you've had the kind of devotion I've experienced with my boyfriend Kirk, I'm not sure you would know what it's like or what it is. Conceptually I understood the word as defined: love, loyalty, or enthusiasm for a person, activity, or cause. But love and devotion going hand-in-hand is rare beauty. You can love someone, but are you devoted to them? Are you loyal? Are you faithful? Do you accept that person just the way he or she is? Or are you continually trying to "upgrade" them and turn them into something they are not? To love and be devoted to someone requires acceptance or "as-is" love. You love them as-is. 

 When you meet someone who loves you and is devoted to you "warts and all" don't give up on them. The peace that has come to my life from being with someone who just accepts the "warts and the all" is amazing. Not once in the year we've been together has he EVER criticized me. Nope! Not once and no exception. I had no idea you could be in a room with someone who didn't have something negative to say about me. "You're too this ... you're too that ..." Not once! 

 So, ladies I urge you ... always hold out for devotion! 
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

 My best friend told me a story, and I loved it so much I wanted to put it here for you to enjoy, too. We were talking about love and devotion. She said to love purely is just to love without demand or expectation but to just love that person just the way are and not for what they can give you. When she told me her "love story" it wasn't even romantic. She said the first time she experienced pure unconditional love was for a little boy in one of her classes. He could give her nothing. Yet she realized for the first time in her life what it was like to just "love" this little boy. I remembered the little boy from years past -- and yes, she loved that little boy! He's probably a grown man by now, and I bet he remembers her, too.

  CATS ARE TRENDING Cats are getting more attention than ever before.   Last year cats began trending on the Internet and social media. We saw cats in popular TV shows like And Just Like That where the character Che gives the iconic Carrie Bradshaw a kitten. On social media such as TikTok, Facebook and Instagram, cats took center stage in groups with titles like Cat Lovers. On Tiktok, cat enthusiasts post popular cat videos on the CatTok channel. With so much increased interest in our feline friends, a new book titled Kitty Wisdom: A Cat Lover’s Guide to Adopting and Caring for Kitties is being released for the new year.   Written by author Michelle Gamble, the book is her love letter to her two kitties, Slurpee and Icee.

Step-by-Step Building Sexual Tension Between Characters

-
We'll do a kind of mini-workshop on the blog to show you how to build sexual tension either in a book or script. Watch the two methods I employ between Brea and her love interest Drew. Read it below, and I will deconstruct it for you to show you the slow progression and build up. Please notice, I know the entire storyline between these two, so I'm working by making subtle gestures that only an informed audience would notice, which is why you need to know where your story is going and how you intend for it to end so you can build the foreshadowing into the story. I'm not suggesting you don't let some parts of the story organically evolve, but I do know that to build the story arc you need to the end game and character flaws and motivations. So, let me deconstruct that scene for you. Notice a lot of looks pass between them (keeping the focus on the eye-to-eye contact, which is one of the keys to building sexual tension). And mind you, nothing is sexier than a forbidden...

8 REASONS I WON'T VOTE FOR KAMALA HARRIS

-
After sitting on the sidelines and watching the 2024 Presidential Campaigns, I decided I needed to address the ongoing dishonesty with a flat-out fact-checking exercise. I'm not writing to persuade you one way or the other, but rather to present facts. It's the deceit and manipulation that I cannot abide. It deeply bothers me every time I hear or see the manipulation. If you do not believe what I'm writing, look it up for yourself. No. 1 -- PROJECT 2025 IS TRUMP'S DOCUMENT -- NO! AGENDA 47 VP and opponent Kamala Harris and her campaign actively say during rallies that former President Trump supports Project 2025, a 900-page document. Trump has said on many occasions he doesn't know what that document is. He didn't write it, support or promote it. It was published by a democratic organization, The Heritage Foundation . Here is the link to the actual Project 2025; please read what the group says. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with Trump. Kamala, w...
