1. Quotation of the Month
“There isn’t anyone you couldn’t love once you’ve heard their story.”
– Mary Lou Kownacki

2. Conversation Tip of the Month:
How to Get a Girl or Guy to Like You
Want to kick-start an attraction or spice up your relationship? Need a great idea for a first date?
Take a hike! A steep, scary one!
Why? Because “Adrenaline makes the heart grow fonder.”
Researcher Elaine Hatfield found that going through danger, risk, and excitement together can boost feelings of attraction. You could spark attraction on a roller coaster, a shaky foot-bridge, or even in a scary movie. Or simply arrange to get stuck in an elevator together for an hour. What a great place to talk about your deepest fear of tiny places. ;-)
Good conversation questions:
- Have you had any risky, exciting dates or experiences?
- Afterwards, did you feel bonded to the person(s) with you?
- Was the excitement on purpose or by accident?
- What wild and thrilling activities would you be willing to try?
- Do you like mystery dates? Is it fun not knowing where you’re going or keeping your date in the dark, so to speak?

3. Word of the Month: eschew (es-CHOO)
eschew: verb (used with object): to abstain, avoid, or keep away from, as in “He eschews celibacy.”
I’ve never said this word and never will because I like simpler words. As Mark Twain said, “Never use a ten-cent word when a five-cent word will do.” But I ran across it in a book this week and didn’t know how to pronounce it.

4. True Story
When model Lauren Hutton was sent to fabled fashion photographer Richard Avedon, he was dismayed by her inexperience. “He asked me where I came from, what I did. I told him that I ran, played, and jumped in the swamp.”
So he got her leaping for the camera. Three months later: 14 pages in Vogue.
Avedon’s my kind of guy: he asked a question, listened to the answer, applied what he heard to his art, and got a magical result.

What makes you feel loved? What makes your partner feel loved? Has it ever dawned on you that maybe it’s not the same thing? He washes the cars, mows the yard, deposits his paycheck and can’t understand why you need to hear him say “I love you.” It’s not a male/female thing. You are speaking different love languages.
I’ve read dozens of books on relationships and marriage. But one of them forever changed the way I relate to my partner. To see which book it is, click here:
