Lose the NEED to say "I LOVE YOU"

There are so many ways to tell someone you love them without actually saying those three words that are (in my opinion) a bit over-used, and quite frankly - are sometimes said just to placate the moment. "I love you" is nice to hear. It's reassuring. It's comforting. To some, it's just too monumental to verbalize. To others, they are  just words - from a dictionary that really do not describe what real love is. Do we really know what "love" is?

Too many times, we all feel that need to define the relationship, and say those three words too soon. Do you realize that "I love you" can be implied in so many ways without actually saying it?  By saying those words, we've pigeon-holed the relationship, and removed the mystery.

Here are a few ways to tell your significant other how you feel, without using the cliche "I love you".....

1.  You've brought laughter to my soul.
2.  I feel rainbows around me when I'm with you.
3.  Your smile lights me up like a Christmas tree.

The other day I was feeling the outpouring of joy that my significant other has brought to me, and I said to my Angels - "Thank you for the rainbows of joy that you've gifted me with".... they answered me back with the most awesome display of colors in the sky, and I share these with you.





This rainbow was a full one that covered the entire sky. I wasn't close enough to get it all in one shot, but you get the idea!

If you think in terms of true, pure joy - your energy field will radiate that love to your special person. Love is so much greater when genuinely FELT, than sheepishly SAID. Today, I send you all angels holding rainbows for you - along with a thesaurus to find the ways to say how you feel about someone without using the 4-letter "L" word!

Happy September!
I'm available for your calls today
and I send you LOTS of Rainbows!

Bravo!!

The person hearing the words, "I Love You" can, and very possibly will, take you very very seriously, think that you are "The One," and think the next step is commitment or marriage.  If that is not your intention, your partner will be devastated, and the relationship will come to a very bad end.  This very scenario happened to me a number of years ago, and I ended up hating the guy before all was said and done.

Never say, "I love you" to your partner until you are ready to make a long-term commitment.

NO SOY UNA PERSONA DE DECIRLE "TE AMO" TEE EXTRAÑO...TE DESEO A CUALQUIER PERSONA QUE PASA POR MI VIDA...SOLO A MIS HIJAS Y AL HOMBRE QUE AMO PROFUNDAMENTE LOGRE DECIRSELO..SI ES VERDAD TAL VEZ LOS HOMBRES SE ASUSTAN Y SE VAN...AL ESCUCHAR TE AMO...CREYENDO QUE ESO SIGNIFICA TENER QUE SOSTENER UNA RELACION FULL TIME..Y PARA MI SINCERAMENTE NO ES ASI..NO NECESARIAMENTE UNA RELACION TIENE QUE SER PRISIONERO UNO DEL OTRO..DOS PERSONAS EN ABSOLUTA LIBERTAD Y CON LOS COMPROMISOS INDIVIDUALES QUE ESO CONLLEVA SE PUEDE AMAR...DESEAR Y SENTIR Y NO NECESARIAMENTE SE TIENE QUE TENER A ESE HOMBRE LAS 24 HS. LOS 365 DIAS DEL AÑO.. CON UNA..
AUNQUE EN UN RINCON DE CADA UNA DE LAS MUJERES QUIERE A SU HOMBRE SOLO PARA UNO MISMO ES DECIR PARA ELCESAR LO QUE ES DEL CESAR.....
Y ESO NO TE GARANTIZA QUE SEA TUYO...NI COMO HOMBRE NI COMO NADA SERIA UN OBJETO ...NI QUE UNA MUJER SEA DE ESE HOMBRE...ENTONCES PREFIERO EN LA ABSOLUTA LIBERTAD SIN DEMANDAS NI OBLIGACIONES PODER AMAR...SENTIR..Y DESEAR AL HOMBRE QUE YO AMO...SIN OBLIGACIONES...Y SENTIRLO MIO Y SENTIR QUE SOY DE EL...ABSOLUTAMENTE....NADA QUE ME OBLIGUE A NADA..
NADA QUE LO OBLIGUE A NADA...EXISTE ACERCAMIENTO DE CUERPO..MENTE..ALMA...EN UNA ALINEACION PERFECTA ..EXISTE DOS PERSONAS EN UN MISMO CAMINO Y CON UNA MISMA DIRECCION ..ILUMINADOS POR EL LADO OSCURO DE LA LUNA...
ESE ES EL  ..EL CONTRATO Y PACTO... ES EL LATIR DE NUESTROS CUERPOS...CUANDO NOS SAVEMOS CERCA AUN EN ESTA DISTANCIA... UNA Y OTRA VEZ..SENTIR QUE SE ENCIENDE ESE DESEO CADA VEZ.. SUS KARMAS SE ACERCAN..QUE SE TIENEN Y SE PERCIBEN...SENTIR DENTRO DE UNA ESAS COSQUILLITAS EN LA PANZA..ESAS GANAS DE ESTAR LINDA...DE ESTAR FELIZ
BUENO..UN BESO...
Y SALUDOSSSSS....

I never say I love you to my partner because it scares  him too much --we have been living together 11 yearrs and neither one of us wants marriage (we have been there done that) I have  experienced many situations where a man  says it and does not mean it!! Everyday I am reminded by his actions that he brings joy to my life!!! Love is difficult to define but I think we have much more---I am the person I really want to be now that we are together and with him I feel I can really love myself too !!!

Thank you it's about time some else rather than me thought this way. When I try to explain this to my significant other he couldn't understand. He always told me i love you but he never back it up with actions. I rarely told him I loved him but I proved it by doing all the little things that pleased him like buying his favorite soda or renting his favorite movie....you knowing knowing all the little things that show you're paying attention to the relationship. Until this day he doesn't even know my favorite color. So yes saying I love you all the time doesn't mean much if it's not backed up by actions.
