Start with flowers. Do you know about the secret language of flowers? In Victorian times flowers were famously used to set the tone in novels and set up qualities in gardens and homes. Did you know the symbology of Arbutus is “you’re the only one I love?” See more on plant symbolism. , A Victorian Flower Dictionary: The Language of Flowers Companion. - Next find the perfect card (or make one). Forget e-cards! Spend time browsing through cards at a local shop or spend time creating the perfect love affirmation for yourself! If you want to be loved in any particular way, it begins with you loving yourself in that particular way and creating your own love expectations.
- Investigate local activities in your community! Don’t be shy, be bold and take a friend to check it out for your romance meter. Do you have one? If you don’t know what love qualities you like to experience, you can’t expect someone to pop up and create if for you! If you want romance, learn romance!
- Investigate your local area and rate restaurants, parks, sites, pubs and activities so that you have resources to draw upon when the time is right. Rather that saying, “I don’t know!”, you will know exactly the experience you want to create with a potential valentine date!
- Explore music, wine, drinks, food and desserts and know which ones express themselves romantically. Yes meals do set up the experience. Be prepared with what food appeal to you romantically so you can drop hints at the right time! Meanwhile have fun finding you your love muse!
In Victorian times society’s model had events that put boys and girls together for finding the best suitors. Friendships, romance and relationships were societies central focus and through this single focus then things of importance relevant to family, business and government would be a part of the dialogue.
Today the pattern has shifted and the center of our focus is not on families, relationships and romance. It is focused on education, business and politics. A model that centers on learning personal relationships is missing and forgotten! We are ignorant to our romantic and relationships needs that create healthy and interdependent partnerships. Let’s change that! Stop being downhearted about being single and take advantage of this time. Create your own centered learning focus about what is meaningful to you. After-all how can you teach your partner what you don’t know?

Empowered relationships begin with one’s personal deepened connection to their own personal values. Knowing our values and trusting them to guide us gives us the strength and willpower to be true to ourselves! This foundation is key for an interdependent relationship that is life enriching for both our partners and ourselves!
Integrating a language of love using a model designed for ‘natural listening!’ Practice speaking skills that will increase your opportunities for experiencing loving kindness between you and your loved one. Meet your needs to be seen, heard and valued while meeting the same needs for your partners. These gathering will focus upon developing one’s own abilities for deeper listening and pausing before speaking (reducing habitual reactions that cause misunderstandings).
