Romantic Lessons with out Reason except to say Oh la la:
Every
girl needs a touch of living the romantic way… The illustrations are from a magazine I found at the flea market. I have translated the French text for you to enjoy. (Note of warning: I am not very good at translating, tend to exaggerate, and sometimes make up things… and often add extra sugar.)
Lesson ° One:
You are beautiful. Just the way you are. Believe that your body i:s a
sacred temple, and that angels dance at your feet. Trust that your
beauty is evident.
Celebrating the lesson:
In the evening go outside, and be bathed by moonlight. Preferably without clothing. Make a wreath out of ivy, or leaves, or the twigs you find. Wear it to bed. If someone asks you what are you doing? Tell them you are getting in touch with natural self.
Lesson ° Two:
Whisper your name on things that you find attractive. Do you know
they are reflections of you? If you see something intriguing, something
that makes your heart flip flop, whisper your name on it.
Celebrating the lesson:
Take a bottle, add water, a few rose petals, a cube of sugar, & place it by your bedside, that it might soak up your dreams. In the morning heat it up, strain it and drink every drop.
Lesson ° Three:
Let life kiss your hand. Eat chocolates, taste the wine, dance
to the radio, sing for no reason, eat French fries if you want to and when you wake up each morning,
smile. Today is going to be an amazing day.
How to celebrate the Lesson:
Kiss the hand of time. Pronounce wrinkles as trophies for a life worth living. Dye your hair red, or let it go white…. dare to be who you are, wear yellow socks, and a pink bra, and forget about "not having anything to wear…" just go.
Lesson ° Four:
Trust that the desire of your heart is heard, and that your words are music.
How to celebrate the lesson: Perfume your letters with your scent.
Lesson ° Five:
Caress the ideas of wishful thinking. Learn the habit of
daydreaming. Practice pretending.
How to celebrate the lesson:
Wear a ring on your little finger, preferably oversize and sparkly. Tie a ribbon around your ankle. Use adjectives like: Glorious, Gorgeous, Scrumptious, Bat your eyelashes, and lick your lips, and click your heels. Be silly and laugh out loud.
Lesson ° Six
Surround yourself in tenderness. Tie a ribbon around your soul.
Weave pearls in your hair. Paint your walls pink. Create a boudoir.
Lesson Six on celebrating:
Create a treasure map for your husband or loved one… Tape it to the front door. Hide. Let the treasure map lead him to you. Make sure to have bells on your toes.
Lesson ° Seven:
Let your hair fall where it may, wear red lipstick. Dream as a way of being. Cast your gaze on the moment and label it good.
Lesson: With your red lipstick on kiss everyone on the cheeks twice. A touch of whimsy never hurt anybody.
