What a day. I learned that being intentional regarding my affection for Kendra creates exceptional results. The dare for today was to do something out of the ordinary for Kendra. So, I choose to do something she loves and complete it in a new way. I went to the store and got some exotic lotion and I gave her a massage. Not just a normal massage, but a full body massage with atmosphere! Low lights, music, and just us. It was grand. I didn't even consider it to be work. Normally I don't like taking the time and effort to give massages. Since I don't really desire to get them I don't really desire to give them. But tonight was all about Kendra.
As for the reading, I do need to work on giving love and being content to not receive any in return. I do struggle when my love is returned empty. I have based my love to her in the past on our committment to each other, but I have certainly based it on her behavior as well. If she and I are in a good space then she gets a bigger share of my love. When she and I are on seperate pages their are times when I leave her out of my life all together. Not a great way to let her know that I love her. My notice of this dare is that I can take any event or circumstance in my life and make it special for her. Same with the kids. I can take a mundane task and create an atmosphere of joy and love by being in the moment and completing it with a ground and center spirit.
On to day 11.
