Living a life of romance has been a dream of mine ever since I was a little girl. The endless nights at the movies...the pre-scripted mental scenarios...the idealized expectations about the one I loved...those were the days.

I know what you're thinking, "those were all acts of childish innocence." And maybe they were, but I loved them!

I wish that all of us could retain that quenchless thirst for romance deep within our hearts forever.

Unfortunately, our adult lives don't make that an easy task.

Social pressures, life obligations, and cultural expectations do a pretty good job of burying even our most cherished yearnings. But it's our duty not to let that 'external baggage' win.

We must fight it!

What are my magic weapons? The ZODIAC, of course, and HUMOR. Yup, sense of humor and the zodiac. I want to romance and be romanced in unconventional ways. I want to be tickled before making love, serenaded by a crackly voice, and seduced intellectually by sarcastic wit.

I want to be understood without being asked, I want to be touched without having to teach, and I want to be loved without explanation.

What I don't want are little red hearts, prickly pink roses, and typical love clichés.

All of that traditional lovey-dovey stuff just doesn't do it for me. I know that sounds a bit nutty, but that's me.

I love to love untraditionally, I love to laugh endlessly, and I love to live quirkily. I like to play, I like to create, and I like to be different. Wacky bits of ridiculous mystical pleasure comprise my romantic life and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Did you know that Humor, Mystery, and Anticipation are the GREATEST APHRODISIACS known to man? Ok, you got me, to this woman. ;-) But they are; you'll see I'm right.

For that reason, amongst these pages you will find plenty of unique and unconventional romance; romance full of Laughter, Suspense, and Intrigue!

But that's not all. I want you to know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN THIS JOURNEY. You will always have me, a real woman just like you, with her own dreams, fears, and hopes, to walk with you as you create your own romantic ideas and individual path.

I want you to use romantic ideas for life to:

• take the guesswork out of romance by incorporating the wisdom of the zodiac into your life and decision making processes

• save yourself time, money, and aggravation by accepting the option to have your choice of romantic ideas or gifts tailored to your recipient's secret inner wishes

• become a creative gift giver

• find the expression of your unique self

• fall in love with life again

• infuse your romantic life with tints of mystery, imagination and amusement
