~~~    From the Editor      ~~~

A couple of weeks ago a Hollywood producer contacted me about hosting
an upcoming reality TV series.  While it certainly would have been an
interesting (and certainly lucrative) experience I turned it down.

Many times you have to turn down those *incredible* opportunities if
you really want the more important things in life – healthy and loving
relationships.  Sometimes the more you give up, the more you gain.

Have a sacrificial week.  — Michael

My Little Helper
by Michael Webb
http://www.TheRomantic.com

I love to use my son Ashton in some of my romantic anctics.  I think
it is a great way to instill in him the concept of expressing love in
relationships so that when he is married he will be a lot more
naturally romantic than I was (believe it or not it was difficult for
me to be romantic at first).

This last week when Athena wasnt looking, I took a washable marker and
wrote *I love you* on Ashton’s back for her to discover when she
changed his clothes.

In the past I have put little love notes in his pockets for him to
deliver to my wonderful wife.  When he was an infant I would sometimes
write silly notes on the outside of his diaper for her to discover
when she changed him.

As Ashton and I grow up together I look forward to many more
opportunities for us to work together to express our love to Athena,
the most incredible woman in the world.
