Homage Paid to a Man.

Martin Luther King's deep words of challenge to cowardice.

PERSONALLY pause to pay homage to a man courageous enough never to let his spirit die though his life was under constant threat. His sacrifice was the ultimate; his message was timeless. I think of him as the original drum major of love. Misunderstood. Maligned. Mistreated. He was just one of many deserving of equal honor who's names we may or may not ever know. But on this day where we celebrate his birth, I PERSONALLY pause to honor him and symbolically pay the same honor to the millions of others like him who will never get a holiday of their own though they also made the ultimate sacrifice. It is because of them all that I am even here - a humbling thought by itself.

So though a few words offered in social media is woefully inadequate to express what I'm truly feeling, it's something my heart compels me to do. So for him and all those like him who chose spirit over life and made it possible for me to be . . .

I sincerely, humbly, from the depth of my whole soul say 'thank you'. - Eden Adele, Jan. 16, 2017

What Is In Our Souls.

Lovers naked embrace in bed. 'Rest well, Passionators, for tomorrow we rise to

love one more time. I love you totally.' - Eden Adele, Jan. 16, 2017

Love intertwines souls.

If you love somebody, let them go,
for if they return, they were always yours. If they don’t, they never were.

- Kahlil Gibran

Logic of Work, of Love.

Couple in trouble from within...

"I'll try", "I wish", "I want", "I hope", "I'll work on it" - all common back doors that are often used attempting to escape responsibility for not actually DOING what's needed to maintain your intimacy. Nothing changes because of intention alone. Change only comes with conscious focused ACTION. Feelings only matter to the one who's feeling them. Your feelings have no effect on your mate until you ACT on them. If you don't DO it, it's just your imagination. - Eden Adele, jan 16, 2017

We Are The Way We Love

Outdoor setting of comfort and wealth.

"God morning, Passionators. No intimacy without love. No love without trust. No trust without honesty. Let the TRUTH of your heart be your guide, not your painful emotional programming."

DEEP PROBE: Honesty

Lovers naked embraced.

"To create lasting intimacy, there will be many times you'll have to exchange 'want to' for 'will do' - another reason so many relationships don't last long term. Honesty and vulnerability are REQUIRED - not optional. They can't be bargained, cheated, or lied away AND still have connection as the end result. If intimacy is TRULY what you want, stop making your primary focus sexing your mate into an orgasmic stupor and start telling the truth. Then any ecstasy that follows will actually mean something besides more laundry and a shower." - Eden Adele, Jan. 13, 2017

Insights into Together.

Tunnel. Tunnel vision.

"Many times, you believe your tunnel view of your mate is all there is to see. Your tunnel - shaped by your complacency, expectations, and disappointments - may even be somewhat accurate. But it will also ALWAYS be extremely limited. Not until you dare to dismantle your tunnel can you even begin to see who your mate ACTUALLY is. Intimacy takes down the tunnel; love gives you vision where there was once only sight." ~ Eden Adele, Jan. 15, 2017

Drifting apart angry at and with each other...

"One of the most destructive intimate relationship problems is how most judge themselves by their intentions, but judge their mates by their behavior. We only want to be responsible for what we meant, but we hold our mates responsible for what they do. That's why people who make decisions based primarily on emotion are unstable, irrational and chaotic partners. Emotions don't have to make sense. Stop letting them think for you." - Eden Adele
