Well, Athena wants me to *clean house.* I still have 14 different back
issues of The RoMANtic Newsletter (which I stopped publishing when
Ashton was born to spend more time with him and Athena). They range
from Mar/Apr 1996 up to Mar/Apr 2000. Most issues are 12 pages and
the earlier ones are 8 pages in length. I was selling the back issues
for $3 each but Athena says to give them away. So, as a special to my
Tip of the Week subscribers, I am selling all 14 back issues for $6.99
total — that’s 85% off!

Have a prosperous week. — Michael

Lynne Olcomendy of Sacramento California won last week’s contest on
Romantic Vacations. Her idea is *Sentimental Fool* and is on my
website with many other terrific ones (this was the most difficult
contest to date for me to pick a winner — there were so many really
great ideas). http://theromantic.com/stories/vacations/main.htm

This week I’m giving away a ticket to Cypress Gardens to someone who
orders my back issues. A ticket to Cypress Gardens in Florida cost
$33.87. This will also let you take 50% off the entrance of up to 4
guest so it has a potential value of more than $100. Just indicate in
the comment section of the newsletter order form that you would like
to be entered into the drawing for the tickets. The link is up at the
editor comments above in case you missed it.

Orders must be received by Monday, June 19 to qualify for the prize.

GREAT BALL OF FIRE
by Michael Webb

Holidays and special anniversaries are wonderful reminders for
romance. However, they are also the most predictable. A small but
meaningful gesture on an “ordinary day” often has more impact than a
larger investment on an *expected day.*

One way to encourage spontaneous romance is with a Friendship
Ball/Box. Find a nice small hollow ball or box. It is important that
it can be opened and shut.

The friendship ball is almost like a *hot potato.* You are supposed to
put a little treasure inside and place it for your love to find. Then
it is their turn to fill it up and give it back to you. The intention
is to be a never ceasing exchange of tokens of love.

You might choose to place the ball inside the refrigerator with a hand
picked flower or a piece of luscious chocolate inside. It could be
returned to your pillow with tickets to the theater or a favorite
comic strip. The exchange could possibly go on indefinitely.
Regardless if it does or not, hopefully the romance in your
relationship will always be on fire.
