Your Love Guide - Do You Know How to Star in Your Own Love Story?
By Hadley Finch

Whether you're enjoying a romantic relationship or seeking one, you will create a more fulfilling relationship with your romantic co-star as soon as you learn how to be the star in your own love story.

When you star in a film, you and your co-star are expected to re-do a scene over and over until you get it right. When you star in your real-life love story, your chances for Take Two with your co-star often depend on whether you are in a dating relationship or doing scenes from a marriage.

You rarely get a chance for Take Two with your co-star in a dating relationship. If you screw up a scene with your date, there's often someone in the wings who's eagerly waiting to take your place (or your date's place, for that matter).

What about a marriage?

If there's a mutual commitment and dedication with your co-star in your marital love story, you may get a chance to redo and rework issues until you get them right.

Unfortunately, it's a tragic reality that your eager competition can be lurking in the wings of your marriage, waiting for a vulnerable moment so they can jump in and replace you by co-starring with your mate.

How do you avoid that heartbreaking fate?

Learn how to star in your own love story now. This preparation has nothing to do with your co-star. It's about you.

Simply make sure that you are always ready for your closeup.

How?

Are you fit in body-mind-spirit?
Are you strong enough to face the challenge in each scene?
Are you resilient enough to bend instead of break?
Do you see each take of a scene, not as a mistake but as a chance to bring out the best in you?
Are you in touch with your emotions, feeling free to give and receive love?
Do you speak your truth from your heart, aware of how your words will affect someone?
Have you learned how to listen as an act of love?
Do you use your talents and pursue your dreams every day?
Do you ease stress and build health with wholesome thoughts, foods, exercise, friends?
Have you identified challenges in your life and created various plans to overcome them (in case you need Take Two or Take Ten)
Do you see and savor all the wonders of you?

Being ready for your closeup means that you strengthen your strengths and fall in love again with yourself first-- so that your inner beauty shines through, guides you and supports you.

Your healthy self love is a love magnet that attracts more love. It is the foundation for the resilient optimism that fuels your passionate choices and personal triumphs.

As you star in your own love story, your co-star will rise up to match your radiance -- either in a existing relationship or as you cast your new co-star who loves all the wonders of you.

And if you're single and seeking to meet your great love, I invite you to enjoy a free month membership in the Singles Club Of Tribe Of Blondes. Not a hair color, it's a resilient, optimistic spirit that unites us and fuels our passionate choices and personal triumphs.

The Meaning of Friendship
by Jennie Gandhi

Friendship is about bonding.It is about reciprocating the care you receive from a person and at the same time respecting the other persons view. A friend does not judge you by wealth or position, he or she is there with you during your bad times. He is like the pillar of strength you can rely on and also share your apprehensions about the various aspects in life. Friendship blossoms each day and one must make time to strengthen the bond.

Days and events are important during friendship. It is vital for us to remember the important days in our friend's life. Friendship is also about trust. One is able to open up freely to the person who is your friend because you know you will not be judged. It is fine to express your inhibitions and also seek the advice of your friend but at the same time friendship is also respecting the other person's predicament. Many a times the friend is not available owing to familial reasons or other commitments and jealously can mar the fragile bond of friendship.

Situations in life often make us realize who our true friends are. We may be surrounded by a group of people whom we meet but it is only with a particular person we are able to relate. This is because there is a certain chemistry, understanding and also respect which you find in this true friend. It is our duty to bring a friend to the right path but too much of criticism will spoil the friendship.

We choose different vocations and reside in various locations and hence friendship gets separated owing to distance. Communication lines are accessible to all of us who want to connect with a lot of friends. Friends from our Alma Mater, friends from our previous jobs and also friends who have migrated to different lands can be contacted easily with the help of technology. There are No excuses in friendship.

The test of friendship is during critical circumstances. When you are down and out the best friend is still next to you. He or she gives you the biggest support with kind words and assures you that life is truly a great gift. A good friend is a rare gem and we need to polish this bond with the goodness of friendship.
