True Love And Romantic Fiction, The Perfect Couple

The world is intrigued by true love stories just as much as fiction these days. Now, you can find a variety of sites dedicated to the reality of love at your perusal. The world is intrigued by true love stories just as much as fiction these days. Now, you can find a variety of sites dedicated to the reality of love at your perusal. It goes to show you that just as many of us are captivated by the reality of romance as we are by a good romance fiction. Although the two can offer some of the same results for the reader, it's clear they both bring something of their own individual value to the table. You can't always get the same thing from true love stories that you can get from romantic fiction and vice versa. Neither can replace the other, but they both certainly do make the perfect couple. You can take a closer look and see that we are often drawn to both types for different reasons. One very significant reason that many of us are captivated by romantic fiction is escapism. The ability to dream and dare to dream. To live out experiences that would be impossible in reality... or unlikely. To take on new lives and journey to new worlds that don't exist, for the sheer pleasure of it. We get to ask ourselves, "What life do I want to live today?" and then pick up a book and choose our own adventure that journeys us through our pick of the day. True love stories can't really replace the sort of bond we form with fiction. Reality is one thing but fantasy is another. Of course true love stories offer their own sort of getaway, but the boundaries are clear. In reality, most stories are bound by life's limitations. Oh, you may have a few exceptions to the rule, in which something miraculous happened, but that's on an every-now-and-then basis. But even then we will never be able to journey to a different world and experience life in ways that exist in fiction. However, true love stories do have a magic of their own. The truth and experiences that we all share in this world will always carry greater weight with us. To connect with a real person who experienced similar trials can't be replaced by fiction. Curiosity may drive us to read a true story but it's inspiration and intrigue that keeps us there. Knowing someone out there--someone real has gone through something we've personally experienced is powerful. True, we may be able to make up a sort of false reality with romantic fiction, but it can't replace the substance of truth. That real connection. True love stories have their own individual quality. They draw us in, because really... what could be more fascinating than reading a true tale about love offset by the circumstance of reality? We all know there's no guarantee in life. Whether we will be dealt a good or bad hand in love is questionable. We don't know the odds, or what the outcome in our lives will be in the end or during our own personal adventure through life. When we add the limitations of uncertainty to the pot and combine them together with love--that alone captures our interest. Whether the ending is good or bad, we're intrigued by the fortunes and misfortunes of reality, because life truly does imitate art.

Tim McGraw And Faith Hill A Love Connection On And Off The Stage

On Tim Tim McGraw was born May 1, 1967, in Delhi, La. He arrived in to start his career in Nashville in1989. He released his self-titled debut album in 1992 on Curb Records. He didn't have a major hit until 1994's "Not a Moment Too Soon". He followed that up with his first No.1 record, "Don't TaTim grew up riding horses and playing baseball in rural Louisiana. When he was eleven, he accidentally discovered his mother-s deepest secret-that he is the biological son of pro baseball player Tug McGraw. Tim is currently considered the king of country music. He holds twenty number one hits, has sold thirty million albums and was awarded two Grammy’s. Faith has also sold 30 million records and won four Grammy’s. On Faith Faith Hill was born in Star, Mississippi on September 21, 1967. Faith Hill-s real name is Audrey Faith Perry and she was adopted. Her last name came when she married Daniel Hill. They divorced in 1991. She grew up singing in her church and at family events. When Faith was nineteen she headed to Nashville to see if she could make a career in country music. Faith Hill was "discovered" working a job at a music publishing company. Her first demo record was cut and the song was called "It Scares Me". Faith made her first album with Warner Bros. in 1993. It was titled Take Me As I Am. With the single, "Wild One", Faith became the first female country music singer to stay on the Billboard as number one for four weeks in a row. In 1995, Faith Hill released her second CD called "It Matters to Me". She was recently quoted as saying, "Each day I try to get as much out of life as I can - to keep it real, sincere and very honest. Hopefully, people can get that from my music. And if I-m lucky, one day there will be a little spot carved away somewhere that says I made a contribution." On The Couple In 1996, McGraw teamed up with Warner Brothers and artist Faith Hill for the Spontaneous Combustion tour. It seems that spontaneous combustion is an appropriate description for this couple’s beginnings. Tim McGraw and Faith Hill were married in October 1996. As a couple, they-ve soared to the top of the country charts with romantic duets such as "Let-s Make Love" and "It-s Your Love." Their ballads are inspired by their real-life love story. People magazine named Faith Hill as one of the 50 "Most Beautiful People". McGraw-s "Everywhere" earned the CMA album of the year honors in 1998. "It-s Your Love", was the first musical partnership between Tim and Faith. "It’s Your Love" held the No. 1 spot Billboard’s country singles chart for six weeks. "It’s" received a CMA vocal event trophy song and single of the year at the ACM Awards that year. More duets followed with Let-s Make Love earning a Grammy. In 1997, Faith gave birth to their first daughter Gracie. They were gifted with two more daughters in 2001 and 2003. In a very surreal sense, it seems these two were destined for each other. Tim’s biological parentage and Faith’s adoption had to give them a sense of having something profoundly painful, in common. Neither grew up with both of their parents. It makes sense that not only do they share a bond of having suffered somewhat the same experience but that they value their love and their family above all else. Their Soul2Soul II Tour proves to be a representation on their love connection from off stage to on stage. Soul2Soul II Tour (SS2) Tim McGraw and Faith Hill-s Soul2Soul Tour 2000 marked one of the industry-s most successful concert tours in history. All venues sold-out and the tour created record box office sales. SS 2000 ended about six years ago. Many have long awaited and anticipated these months now into 2006. Tim and Faith fans knew they would be back. Soul2Soul II Tour is expected to exceed 80 concert performances and will most definitely include the music that McGraw and Hill have made their trademark over the years. SS2 will be as grand as SS1. Reports coming in say that many of the venues showcasing SS2 have sold out the tickets in ten minutes. It is expected that the set will be outstanding as usual. The couple is known for the use of the round center stage design that allows for all seats in the house to be the best seats in the house. Soul2Soul II Tour will include many of Tim and Faith-s biggest hits and duets. Many fans have reported that their love for each other is obvious on-stage. They send out a powerful vibe that not only entertains but makes many wish they could experience a connection like that of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.

Love Heals

Love’s ointment works on bruised knees as well as broken dreams. Love has the power to heal all conditions of the body and mind. Love’s glow melts its seeming opponents into pure light. Where love is, all is well.

Love’s ointment works on bruised knees as well as broken dreams. Love has the power to heal all conditions of the body and mind. Love’s glow melts its seeming opponents into pure light. Where love is, all is well. Love is at the center of every miraculous healing. It lifts the spirit of the bereaved. It penetrates the darkest hallway to reveal the next step. There is no loss, pain, or betrayal that love cannot illuminate. There is no sadness that love cannot soothe. Always Enough Sometimes it seems that love is the problem. It can appear that love caused the pain. People we love reject us, or they die, or they become so important to us that we encounter endless types of hurt. It seems that love is scarce and can be taken away at the whim of the beloved. This illusion of the scarcity of love comes closer to describing the cause of the pain. It is the sense of lack that hurts, not the love. The lack is an illusion. There is always enough love. It is behind every great creation. Love is the canvas that holds up the paint. Love is the page that hosts the words. Love is the day you live into. It is every background, hidden behind every story, colored by every circumstance. Underneath every experience there is a field of love upon which that moment was built. There is always enough love. We simply must find it. Finding Love Finding love is different from finding your keys or your eyeglasses when they disappear. And yet, we tend to think of it in the same way. We think love is hiding somewhere. We left it with that person or in that old town or in that dear friend. We tend to think love is located in the person we love and when we lose that person we have lost love. Love is very different from that. Love lives in every moment in every particle of existence. Finding love is more like looking through the paint to the canvas, looking through the situation to the essence. Try This Here is an exercise for accessing love regardless of conditions. In order to reap the full benefit from this exercise, first take a moment to look around you at the condition of your life. Notice what kind of presence love occupies in your awareness. Take a neutral glance at your entire situation as if through a wide-angle lens. Without judging or defending, free from praise or blame, simply appreciate the contrasting landscape of your incarnation. Once you have perused your lifescape, close your eyes and gently settle your awareness on your heart center right in the middle of your chest. Allow your breathing to become soft and relaxed. With each breath imagine your heart center infused with the gentle presence of love. Imagine this love soothing all hurts, filling all spaces of loss, and brightening all gloom. As the light of love becomes more established in you, realize that this love is always there. It is intrinsic to your nature. It is native to your being. You don’t have to put it there or develop it. It is the canvas of your life. Love is what you are made of. Expand your awareness to include your whole body and an egg-shaped energy field all around you. Let love’s quiet presence ease into your awareness, permeating your entire field. With each gentle breath, allow yourself to become so soft and peaceful that the love that resides within you can shine through your situation and your thoughts, through your pains and your losses. Become so quiet that you can sense the slightest presence of this beautiful love as it glows through your physical body. You may want to regularly spend some time revealing the love that you are in this type of meditative process. The benefits of this practice may surprise you. Love heals a scraped elbow as well as a broken heart. And it does something more. It attracts more love
