What Does Romance Mean to You?

What is your idea of romance? Does it mean passion or sensuousness or do you think of it more in terms of thoughtful expressions of love? Some people relate romance to sexual experiences, like the torrid, swept away relationships described in dime store romance novels. That isn’t my idea of romance. For me, romance means thoughtfulness. It is the way we show each other the depths of our love and passion by showing how well we know the other person and doing special things for one another that no one else would think to do. It is personal gestures, not … Continue reading →

“Your” Song: Significant in So Many Ways

Wayne and I’s song is “I Melt With You” by Modern English. We actually heard them in person in 1986. They were performing in concert at the University of Denver. Vague Memories I wish I remembered if I actually heard them play the song. I don’t. I vaguely remember us attending the concert. Part of it.

That night changed everything. After that we were … Continue reading →

Amazing Love Songs: “Elephant Love Medley”

Lately I have been listening to the Moulin Rouge soundtrack over and over and over. (Wayne says I should add a few hundred more “over’s” in there to be truly accurate.) To be super specific, it would be more correct to say I listen to it over and over and over when I’m in the car. (At home I’ve been listening to something else. My infatuation with Pandora’s been replaced by the Dangerous Beauty soundtrack.) I can’t help myself. No, it’s not the newest movie soundtrack release. (Neither of them are.) Moulin Rouge’s soundtrack has been out a few years … Continue reading →
