What’s that, you say?– Romance isn’t at the forefront of your mind? Well, I suppose that
lots of other things might be weighing your psyche; the mortgage, work conferences, the kids’
soccer practice, carbohydrates. As your mind is occupied by life’s minutia, take a moment to
refl ect on what is (or isn’t) occupying your heart.
You deserve to discover, remember and relive the feeling of romance. The truth is, we all long
for romance. Finding a shared experience and a heartfelt connection with another person is
part of what makes us human; by and large, this yearning is in our nature.
