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.
