Great ways to save some cash

You library has movies you can get for FREE!

Saving money is sometimes as simple as breaking your routine of doing things. Using your common sense to rethink how you spend your time and money. Something as simple as changing your route to work can save on your fuel use, thus saving you money.

[1] For all you pet lovers, have you thought about starting a savings account for your pet? Saving even five dollars a week in an account just for them, can help take away the shock to your checking account when your pet needs yearly shots, a check up or becomes ill.

[2] If your freezer needs defrosting, use a portable fan to help remove the moisture from the freezer. It will defrost quicker and air from the fan will help dry it completely before you start placing your food items back into it. The shorter time period your food items are out of the freezer, even if they are refrigerated, will cut down on food loss.

[3] When making your grocery list, check which coupons you will need and attach them to your list, so you will have them on hand and not forgotten at home.

[4] Volunteer at theaters and museums, that way you get to see the productions for free.

[5] Did you know you can get movies, music and books on tape from your local library? It might be time to renew your library card to take advantage of all these freebies.

[6] Organize your weekly shopping trips to curb backtracking and wasting fuel.

[7] Use something until it's worn out. Don't replace a working appliance or sweater just to get a different color. Every season brings new colors, your money will run out before they do.

[8] Make a list of the people you buy gifts for on a regular basis. Carry it with you and when you see something that fits your budget and them, buy it. It's ok to buy for a June birthday in January or for Christmas in March if it's going to save you money.

[9] Use your crock pot to help keep hot air out of the house during summer, your air conditioner will thank you, not to mention your energy bill being smaller.

Taking a few minutes each week to think about what you will be doing in the next few days, can save you money in the long run. Finding even small savings in your everyday life can make a big difference in how you live in the future.

Fun things to do on a date.

A small cafe is a great break from overpriced places.

Dating does not have to be difficult. In fact it can be fun and exciting if you know where to go and what to do. Most people run out of fresh ideas to entertain that certain someone. New couples end up on the dating merry-go-round of movies, restaurants and home videos. This is my new 2009 dating advice on fun things to do on a date.

1. Step away from those over-priced trendy restaurants and try a local neighborhood cafe. These are the ones that have small iron tables on the outside and internet hubs inside. The coffee and snacks are usually a delight because they are original recipes and not commercial giants.

2. If you are penny pinching these days, like so many others. Try packing a picnic basket with a checkered table cloth and head to a park. You can always find a cozy spot to have lunch and quietly get to know one another. This is cheap but it is also very romantic.

3. Another inexpensive dating idea is Hiking. Hiking on nearby trails can be fun because it's quiet and not crowded. It gives you and your date a chance to have a deep conversation and enjoy the hidden wonders of nature. This is one of my favorite places to go because I'm able to explore different streams and rock formations.

4. I am a big fan of the arts so I would definitely suggest a visit to your local museum. Museums have something for everyone, regardless of your tastes. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, so there is always some type of exhibit for viewing. Check your area to see which new attractions are open. If you do not like being indoors, try going to an Art Street fair. I love supporting local artists.

5. During the summer and early fall months free outdoor concerts are usually available throughout the city. The only effort you will have to make is to get to the park early to grab a spot and bring your own sitting gear. It's definitely worth it to experience a live outdoor performance.

I hope these fun dating ideas help ignite your courtship and grow deeper in love.

Speaking Kind Words, Improving your relationship with heart felt words, should be on every shelf in every house that has lovers in it.  So often we get stuck saying the same old things to our lover.  This makes them become numb they no longer pack their punch.  When you start to expect your lover to say, "I Love You" every time they walk out the door it isn't as powerful.  However, if they change it up from time to time and say something like, "Can't wait to get back home and in your arms" or "Hold that Kiss I will be back to get it later"  You might just get a tingle in your body.  Click on the picture of the book above to see how you can get your copy of Speaking Kind Words.

Candle Light Dinner

Candlelight dinner will be perfect to celebrate any occasions dealing with romantic and love relationship. Even, a candlelight dinner can help you rebuild intimacy with you spouse. To have this romantic atmosphere, you do not need to look for luxurious restaurant since we will help you make this special moment in your own home with the following tips.

We can say that it is quite easy to give your spouse a candlelight dinner as you can find the materials around your house. First thing you need to prepare is the dining table. Pick out a set of tablecloth you have. The set usually consists of the tablecloth and napkins. However, if you do not have one, we suggest that you take a linen cloth to cover the dining table. Then you can look for some napkins with the same color scheme to fit the tablecloth. You can choose white as it is neutral to match any colors and gives classic accents. Another option, red can give warmness and add more romantic sense.

Now you can prepare some set of dinnerware. Also, provide water and wine glasses and arrange then at each place for both of you. Then, do not forget to place separate bowl with forks for salad. Make sure that you have set a formal dinner for you beloved one. Formal atmosphere can give more romantic mood.

Now we go on to consider lighting. It is as important as the previous elements to set a romantic dinner. You can either turn off the overhead lamps or simply dim them to make sure the candlelight becomes the center of lighting. Take some candlesticks. It is suggested that you pick out those made of crystal, glass or silver. White or red candles will be preferable. To add more light you can place some additional candles around the room.

Then consider flowers with vase. Though ordinary, roses will be perfect to set out romantic feeling. Place them around the candlesticks. Do not let the flowers choke the space on the table since you need to have eye contact and conversation before having dinner. Last but not least, music is another significant element to create romantic mood. Arrange your stereo system to play your spouse's favorite love song.

Discussing lighting, you are probably looking for some light fixture for your home. We suggest that you consider dimmable fluorescent bulb. Or, if you need fluorescent magnifying lamp you can find the info discussing the lamp in our article in another page.

Sacred Intimacy Opens the Gateway

Nearly everyone does it, has done it, or will do it. It is the single most important thing in continuing human life. It can create new life. It can be an amazing and beautiful experience. It can honor the participants and the Divine. It can bond two people for life. It can help one lift the veil between one dimension and another. It can kill. It can be violent and abusive. It can cause severely deep emotional and psychological wounds. It has been considered a precious and sacred gift. It has been considered abominable and evil. What could be considered all of these things? What could be such a paradox?

Sex. Call it whatever you like: lovemaking, intercourse, coitus, copulation, reproduction, relations, intimate encounter, fornication, joining, sleeping together, nooky, union, etc. Mind you, the words one chooses to talk about it will give some insight into his or her feelings about this often taboo, yet sacred, topic. When one has a negative attitude or set of beliefs surrounding sex and intimacy, it will be much more challenging for that person to intentionally open to transcendental sexual experiences. Believing sex is dirty, sinful and should be done quickly to get it over with makes it far more difficult for that person to come to the understanding that sex is actually divinely sacred and can help him/her experience the Divine presence, the Higher Self, and Spirit while in human form.

First, a person must come to understand and know his/her authentic self and be willing to share this authenticity with another person in a committed relationship. It is true that many believe that sacred sex, sex magic, and transcendent sex may be achieved and experienced in relationships that are not filled with love and commitment. Yet, having sacred intimacy and sacred sex in a committed relationship can transform the individuals' lives and their life as a couple - their blended spirit. Therefore, it is vital for each partner in the relationship to willingly become vulnerable and learn who he/she truly is. Only then can the couple experience true sacred intimacy.

Yet, reclaiming one's true self and being authentic with one's partner is not necessarily a breeze to accomplish nor is it the only thing that matters in achieving sacred intimacy. Depending on what belief systems have been created throughout one's life by labels, comments, and teachings of one's parents, society, culture, teachers, ministers, peers, and personal experiences a person may have very negative belief patterns deeply ingrained about sex, sexuality, spirituality and religion. Discovering that he/she is not alone in his/her thoughts or feelings may be challenging to learn due to the taboos on this subject.

Moving this forward further past the taboos a person will need to learn and come to accept that sex is energy just as everything is energy. Sex is not simply a physical act that brings physical pleasure. Sacred sex can have magical results and deepen an individual's and a couple's spiritual growth. The metaphysical aspects to sacred intimacy and the profound impact it has on individuals, couples, their blended spirits, and the WHOLE of the Universe is beyond our full human understanding, but with an open heart and an open mind we can touch our Souls and open the gateway to Spirit through sacred sexual experiences.
