Your Two Defining Words

So this is what happens when you go to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary and search for the definition of Romance.

1. intransitive verb

• to exaggerate or invent detail or incident
• to entertain romantic thoughts or ideas

2. transitive verb

• to try to influence or curry favor with especially by lavishing personal attention, gifts, or flattery
• to carry on a love affair with

And, this is what happens when you search for the definition of Incurable:

1. impossible to cure : not curable
2. not likely to be changed

So that must make me a person prone to exaggerate or invent details because I like to entertain romantic thoughts for which no cure exists so I lavish attention on those I love and hope to carry a love affair with and this will never change.

*Phew!*

That sounds about right. (perhaps I would veto the love affair part – but included it for fun)

What two words perfectly define you?

We All Need More Romance

These are but a few ways to describe me and to describe what I hope to accomplish at The Incurable Romantic.

We live in a world that very easily dissolves good emotions through cynicism, bitterness, mockery, and sarcasm.

But what if we make the conscious decision to leave that ugly list of negativity behind us? Imagine the possibilities and opportunities for love (old and new) that we could create in our lives?

Though we love to believe in happily ever after and celebrate romance – how much do we truly celebrate love in all of its glorious forms?

I believe that we can actively attract love, revel in it and make it a permanent affair in our lives.

Clearly, I am an optimist.

So, welcome to The Incurable Romantic where I will review steamy, romantic books, share swoon-worthy quotes, fantasize about unforgettable characters, provide tidbits about the eras we all love to read about and discuss how love can help to shape our lives for the better.

Thank you for joining me in celebrating romance and love.

So tell me…how do you know you are an incurable romantic?
