Love Writings: Love Greeting Cards With A Heart
Loving Love Inspires the Heart to Create Words that Gives Love its Life.
I watched as a man rifled through the greeting card section of a card shop the other day, and I was shocked as he was so insistent on a certain card. The man glanced at the messages and stuffed them back as quick as he grabbed them.
I could stand it no longer and I asked him if it was a special occasion that the cards were not addressing.
He looked at me frustrated and said, “Nope, none of the darn things have very long messages in them.”
I understood his thought process. He reasoned that the longer the message, the more his partner could interpret her own message thinking that that surely was his intent as well and that he must have read it and it struck the same cord in him.
Oh, brother! This thinking, while it may be humorous, is about as flawed as one could imagine.
Guys are certainly not at fault for that kind of thinking as the love greeting card industry has fostered the very notion of a long, flowing card with butterflies and rainbows was filled with enough syrup to make any pancake breakfast a sheer delight.
But here is where the learning process steps in. As I told you in a previous post, you are to know yourself and the intent on which you are giving the card in the first place, for this is where your words will come from.
Over the next couple of posts, I will give examples of different thought processes as a place to begin the process of creating love in the written word.
Today, however, we will focus on the beginning of any love greeting card and that is the introduction of your thoughts of love. You see, regardless of the card, there is a love intention that must set the stage for everything else. This is the place that you set the course for the rest of your thoughts.
This introductory paragraph is not about the event that may be at the center of the love greeting card, but seeks to establish the reason love exist for you and your partner and how that influences you. It is a place of appreciation and of the single focus of love in your life.
I know this sounds like a lot for someone who is unaccustomed to ever write a true love greeting card or any love letter, but the process will become clearer as we progress. Stay with me on the journey and your reward of love will be more than you could ever imagine.
In the End, Love is All There is, So Let Your Words be Your Beginning.
