Dear Lovestar,
Sapho is the poetess of poetesses. I wrote a love poem for her to honor her since she is famous for writing love poems for women.
Sappho is said to have inspired the term lesbian because she was from the island of Lesbos and wrote poems for other ladies. She also wrote for men and there is not much history.
ODE TO SAPPHO From Ancient Poetess to 10th Muse – Payhip
(more…)
First of all I want to thank the dear person who read 71 of my blog posts a few days ago and the sweet person who read more than 20 blog posts today (or was it yesterday?). I am grateful for you and next time, start a conversation and I will write a poem for you. This happens every now and then and I blog for you dears.
Dear Lovestar,
I have been on such a beautiful journey with my beloved twin flame Scorpio. Our union has flourished after much needed healing, about two days ago, though, he surprised me with an unexpected request/ fantasy of sorts:
Scorpio likes me to seduce him. That is he loves it when I aggresively start the sex! 🫢🫣🥴 I was triggered. I kind of am a sex blogger, I guess. Why is that upsetting to me?
I have had this post written and saved for 2 days but I wasn’t able to give in. But it is Friday the 13, Venus day and day of the goddess. It is sexy femme day on steroids, so I post today and I am going home (currently stuck for hours getting car work done) to seduce him out of his pants! I immediately knew today was the day.
Also, because I was almost killed in a truck accident, it is my new birthday, a sign from my goddess, Venus, to bring out my feminine power. (More on that accident saving later)
Embracing the Art of Seduction: A Personal Journey
In a world where traditional roles and expectations often shape our relationships, I find myself navigating a delicate balance between my values and my beloved lover’s desires. For the past 17 years, my twin flame and I have built a loving, monogamous relationship, blessed with five wonderful children. He has always been a source of unwavering support and devotion. Recently, he expressed a desire for me to take on a role that challenges my traditional views: he wants me to seduce him.
The word “seduction” has always carried a certain weight for me, evoking notions of assertiveness and masculine energy. As someone who cherishes old-fashioned values and has been deeply influenced by a more reserved, traditional upbringing, this request triggered a sense of discomfort. In my mind, seduction was something to be approached from a more passive and nurturing standpoint.
However, understanding the importance of maintaining an open and fulfilling relationship, I took a step back and considered his request with an open heart. I realized that this was not about shifting roles but about exploring a new dimension of our connection.
In spiritual terms, this might be seen as an interplay between Venus and Lilith energies. Venus, representing love, beauty, sexual energy, and harmony, encourages us to embrace our sensuality in a way that enhances intimacy and connection.
Lilith, on the other hand, symbolizes empowerment, independence, and a reclamation of one’s desires and power. Integrating these energies could offer a path to enriching our relationship, allowing us to express affection and desire in ways that resonate deeply with both partners.
For those on a spiritual or twin flame journey, this might be an opportunity to explore how our personal energies can align with our partner’s needs, fostering a deeper, more harmonious connection. It’s about finding a balance where both partners feel valued and understood, and where traditional values can coexist with modern desires.
In embracing this new approach, I hope to honor both my beloved’s wishes and my own values, finding a path that brings us closer while staying true to who we are.
Dear Lovestar,
I started learning Greek and I tried listening to Greek music but my ffamily did not like it. I study Italian and for learning, I listen to Italian music and do Italian karaoke. But the Greek music was a huge no for them, but I liked it. Anyway, while I was on the international music energy, I told my kids about my old belly dance obsession. It is howevver, not surprising at all that I just rediscovered bellydancing when I just started to work with Venus!
There was a time, when I was an arts and craft blogger when I used to call myself the belly dancer. I used to draw belly dancers, took a video class, made belly dance costumes, and had a belly dance playlist before I had kids. Now, my oldest kid is 11. It has been a long time. And just like that, I found a belly dance lesson on Youtube. My secind daughter started the lesson with me but stopped because it was hard. During part of the lesson, my son asked to be held while I danced.
Rediscovering the Joy of Belly Dancing: A Fun and Empowering Workout for Women
There’s something magical about finding a form of exercise that not only gets your body moving but also nourishes your soul. That’s exactly what happened to me when I decided to give belly dancing another try. I had been reading about its benefits for women—how it’s great for fitness, boosts confidence, and even connects us with our feminine energy. Curious and excited, I jumped in, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself—and for my daughter said it as fun, it really was.
To me working out feels like a chore. But belly dancing? It’s a whole different experience. From the moment I started moving, I felt a sense of joy and freedom. The music, the movements, the rhythm—it all comes together in a way that’s not just about exercise but about celebrating my body. It’s like a dance party where I was the star, and the best part is, it doesn’t feel like work at all!
Belly dancing engaged muscles I didn’t even know you had, and by the end of it, I realized I’d had a serious workout. But instead of feeling exhausted, I felt energized and more in tune with my body. The flowing movements work wonders for your core, hips, and even your posture. It’s a full-body workout wrapped in fun and creativity. My daughter did not believe me when I told her this teacher will help with her posture. I finished the class with a smile and ready to do some work.
One of the things that drew me back to belly dancing was its deep connection to feminine energy. It’s a dance form that has been celebrated by women for centuries, and it’s easy to see why. The movements are all about embracing and enhancing your natural curves, moving with grace, and feeling confident in your own skin.
As I danced, I felt a strong connection to the women who have danced this way throughout history. There’s something incredibly empowering about reclaiming this ancient art form and making it your own. It reminded me that movement isn’t just about fitness—it’s also about expression, joy, and connecting with the feminine energy that flows within us all.
If you’ve been thinking about trying belly dancing—or if this is the first time it’s crossed your mind—I can’t recommend it enough. It’s a workout that’s good for your body, mind, and spirit. Whether you’re dancing alone, with friends, or sharing the experience with your daughters, it’s an activity that brings joy, confidence, and a deep connection to your feminine energy.
So, put on some music, let your body move, and see where the dance takes you. You might just find that belly dancing becomes one of your favorite ways to stay fit, feel fabulous, and celebrate the beautiful, powerful woman that you are. And if you’ve got daughters, nieces, or friends, invite them to join in the fun. There’s nothing quite like the joy of dancing together and embracing the power of being a woman.
Dear Lovestar,
I understand perfectly if you do not believe in goddesses and deities. I myself, did not until I had an experience with Venus.
However, if you do not believe in goddesses, here is how you can see Venus.
Discovering Venus: Embracing the Essence of Beauty, Love, and Femininity
For many, the name Venus evokes images of the ancient Roman goddess of love, beauty, and desire. But what if you don’t believe in goddesses or deities? Can Venus still hold significance in your life? Absolutely. Venus represents much more than mythology; she embodies universal energies that we can all connect with—beauty, love, femininity, and the powerful force of attraction, also our sexual energy.
You don’t need to believe in deities to feel the influence of Venus in your life. Think of Venus as a symbol, an archetype that represents certain aspects of our human experience. She’s the embodiment of love’s warmth, the glow of beauty that surrounds us, and the gentle yet potent energy of femininity. These are qualities we all recognize and can nurture within ourselves, regardless of our spiritual beliefs.
Beauty is one of the most accessible ways to connect with the essence of Venus. It’s not just about physical appearance but about finding and appreciating beauty in the world around you. When you take a moment to notice the colors of a sunset, the elegance of a flower, or the harmony in a piece of music, you’re tapping into Venus’s energy. Beauty enriches our lives, lifts our spirits, and connects us to something greater than ourselves.
Love is another powerful way Venus manifests in our lives. It’s in the love we give and receive from others, the kindness we show to strangers, and the compassion we feel for those in need. Venus reminds us that love is a force that binds us together, making our lives richer and more meaningful. By cultivating love in all its forms—romantic, familial, platonic—we invite Venus’s energy into our hearts.
Venus also represents the energy of femininity, which is not confined to any particular gender. It’s about embracing qualities like nurturing, intuition, creativity, and softness. These traits are often undervalued in a world that prizes hard edges and fast results, but they are essential for balance and wholeness. By honoring and nurturing our feminine side, we bring Venus’s influence into our daily lives.
If you want to connect with Venus on a more tangible level, look to the night sky. Venus is the brightest planet and often visible just after sunset or before sunrise, known as the “Evening Star” or the “Morning Star.” Observing Venus can be a grounding experience, reminding us of the vastness of the universe and our place within it. It’s a moment to reflect on the beauty, love, and femininity that Venus symbolizes.
Whether or not you believe in Venus as a goddess, you can still invite her energy into your life. Here are a few ways to do so:
Venus is more than a mythological figure; she’s a symbol of the beauty, love, and femininity that enrich our lives. By consciously connecting with these aspects of ourselves and the world, we can invite more joy, harmony, and love into our everyday experiences. So, the next time you think about Venus, take a moment to reflect on the beauty, love, and feminine energy that she represents. Let her inspire you to live a life filled with these wonderful qualities.
Dear Lovestar,
It appears I did not know the power of smiling in relationship to Love.
Since I started willing myself to smile as a challenge, I did not that joy was coming as a result of my smiling.
Things simply turned around for me and everything became better.
Now whenever I remember, I smile and smiling at my beloved is easiest. Whenever I look at him and smile he smiles or holds me and things just get better.
The Surprising Power of a Smile: How I Rediscovered Joy in Love
You know how sometimes you stumble upon something so simple yet so powerful that it feels like magic? Well, that happened to me recently when I discovered the power of smiling in my relationship. It all started as a little challenge to myself—a fun experiment, really. I decided to start smiling more, just to see what would happen. I never expected it to transform my life and my love so profoundly.
It sounds almost too easy, right? Just smile more. But trust me, there’s something magical about it. I had read somewhere that smiling can trick your brain into feeling happier, even when you’re not particularly in the mood. So, I thought, why not give it a shot? Whenever I caught myself in a neutral or pensive mood, I’d remind myself to smile. It wasn’t forced; it was more like a gentle nudge to myself to find the little joys in the moment.
Here’s the thing: I didn’t realize how quickly and dramatically things would change. At first, it felt a bit strange, like I was just going through the motions. But then, something incredible happened. As I smiled, joy started creeping into my life in the most delightful ways. It was as if my smile was a signal to the universe that I was open to happiness, and it responded generously.
But the best part? The impact it had on my relationship. Smiling at my beloved became the easiest and most natural thing in the world. Every time I looked at him and smiled, I noticed a spark in his eyes—a mirror of the joy I was feeling. He’d smile back, or sometimes he’d just pull me into a warm embrace, and in those moments, everything felt perfect.
It was as if my smile was a secret key that unlocked a deeper connection between us. We communicated more with our eyes and smiles than with words, and it brought us closer than ever. The little annoyances and stresses of daily life seemed to melt away whenever we shared a smile.
Now, whenever I remember, I smile. It’s become a habit, a way of life, and it’s made everything better. I’ve learned that a smile is more than just an expression; it’s a powerful tool for cultivating joy, love, and connection. It’s a way to invite happiness into your life and to share it with those you love.
So, if you’re ever feeling down or disconnected, try it out. Just smile. Smile at yourself, smile at the world, and especially smile at the ones you love. You might be surprised at how much brighter and sweeter life becomes.
Smiling is simple, but its effects are profound. And the best part? It’s contagious. So go ahead—start smiling and watch as the world smiles back at you.
Dear Lovestar,
Let’s discuss Love and smiles:
Love is often portrayed as a powerful force, essential for creating life. Yet, its creative influence extends far beyond the act of procreation. One of the most delightful and overlooked aspects of love’s creativity is its ability to generate smiles.
When we think of love, we might first imagine the profound bond between partners or the nurturing care of parents for their children. However, love’s creativity manifests in many subtle and charming ways, one of which is the way it effortlessly brings smiles to our faces.
Love as a Catalyst for Joy
Smiles are a universal language of happiness, and love is their primary inspiration. When we are in love, our emotional state naturally shifts towards positivity. This state of joy is contagious, often resulting in smiles that brighten our days and those around us. Consider the simple yet profound effect of a loving gesture—whether it’s a thoughtful compliment, a warm embrace, or a shared laugh. These moments create a ripple effect of joy, turning into smiles that express our inner happiness.
The Science Behind Love and Smiling
Psychologically and biologically, love stimulates the release of feel-good hormones such as oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine. These chemicals promote feelings of happiness and contentment, which often manifest as smiles. Smiling itself can reinforce these positive feelings, creating a loop of joy where love leads to smiling, and smiling, in turn, amplifies the love we feel.
Love’s Creative Expression Through Smiles
Love’s creativity isn’t confined to grand gestures or monumental moments. Often, it is found in the everyday expressions of affection and connection. Smiles that are born out of love can transform routine interactions into memorable experiences. They can bridge gaps, mend misunderstandings, and build stronger relationships.
A smile shared between friends can strengthen a bond, while a smile from a loved one during a tough day can provide much-needed comfort. These small, creative acts of affection showcase how love’s influence extends into the art of living and interacting.
Smiling: A Reflection of Love’s Impact
When we think of love as a creative force, it’s clear that its power is not solely about creating new life but also about enriching our daily lives. Smiles are a testament to love’s enduring impact, reflecting joy, connection, and the deep satisfaction that comes from nurturing and being nurtured.
In essence, love is a continuous source of creativity, and one of its most charming creations is the smile. It’s a simple, yet profound expression of our emotional landscape, made all the more beautiful by the love that inspires it.
So next time you smile, remember that it is a creative gift of love—an expression of joy that enriches both your life and the lives of those around you. Embrace love’s ability to make you smile and let that smile be a testament to the creative power of affection in your life.
Dear Lovestar,
Ever since I started practicing my calligraphy, my oldest daughter has been telling me to create a unique Eve font. Well, I just did with this app. I don’t love it because I did not have a lot of space to work on my phone and I hope edit the ones that are not perfect because of course, I finished this project within 20 minutes or less.
My daughters created their own font and theirs might be cuter than mine
Dear Lovestar,
I wrote a poem half in Italian
Italian is a very poetic language and I am learning some Italian, simply for fun. Writing poetry in Italian is easier than in Latin for me because Latin, being a dead language is much more difficult thatn Italian, even though I have barely studied Italian.
I am learning Italian because I think it would help me in my Latin learning journey, and also because I thought it would be easy, then I find the beautiful Italian poetry and figure it was meant to be!
Some themes I noticed in Italian art and music. I speak soon, but Italian music (I have been listening and singing for my learning and I will talk of it again) talks a lot about the heart (il cuore), Spanish also. In fact in Spanish, we call a beloved person mi corazon (my heart).
Italian music also mentions this word a parola which means word. It is mentioned so much that I learned the word from music and looked it up, then learned the meaning. O have to learn more but it appears that it is used as one’s word, a word, the feelings in words, the meaning, things like that. By comparison, we do not use the word “word” in English as much in poetry.
Anf the third theme I noticed was the sea. It makes sense since Italy is surrounded by sea basically. It appears that Italians love the sea and they inmortalie it in their art. In a beautiful song I heard a man singing he was going to the sea and to find a mermaid (Sono una sirena = I am a mermaid)
It is not pure luck that all these things are related. It is all meant to be. Example, Venus, the Roman was ancient Italian, basically, see why she was born at sea? Well, of course, because she was born in Greece, an island as Aphrodite. Venus (the Roman Aphrodite) was seen as the mother of Rome (the now capital of Italy).
In my poetry, I did not inlcude parola because I need to understand the word more.
English translation:
My heart lives in the sea
Its vastness, like my love,
Its calm, its color,
Its profundity, my soul.
Did you know that the popular Italian poet Dante Alighieri was exiled? I need to know more about this man’s history.
Dante Alighieri’s “Divine Comedy,” written in the early 14th century, is a seminal work in Italian literature and a cornerstone of Western cultural heritage. This epic poem, composed of three parts—Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso—traces the journey of the soul through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven.
Dante’s choice to write in vernacular Italian rather than Latin was revolutionary, elevating the Tuscan dialect to a prominent literary language and setting a precedent for modern Italian. His work not only advanced Italian literary tradition but also profoundly influenced subsequent writers and thinkers, solidifying his role as a pivotal figure in the evolution of Italian language and literature. I learned this from Podcast Italiano on Youtube.
Dante was exiled from Florence in 1302 due to political conflicts. He had been involved in the complex political and factional struggles of Florence, which led to his banishment. The “Divine Comedy” was written during his exile and is often seen as a reflection of his personal and political grievances, as well as his broader philosophical and theological concerns. The work itself did not cause his exile, but it did encapsulate his views on justice, politics, and morality, which were influenced by his experiences of exile.
But was he exiled because of his poetry? Was he using poetry to attack his political enemies?
The fault is of politics, obviously! Yet, poets will poet. And yes, I used poet as a verb.
Learning some Italian,
Eve
Dear Lovestar,
Let’s bring tailpieces back!
What is a tailpiece? It’s the decorative design under a poem (or any literature). Sometimes they are very fancy and complex, sometimes they’re very cute, sometimes they look ornate like a baroque church.
As a lover of literature and classic literature, tailpieces were on every book I remember. They made a really big impression on me, and since then, I always do a simple tailpiece when I write by hand.
I use the tailpiece as a sign that the poem (or any other handwriting) is a finished piece. If I do a poem without a tailpiece, it means it’s incomplete, or I want to work on it more.
My tailpieces compliment my cursive, and I use the same flourishes. My tailpiece themes are swirls, hearts, dots, and flowers. I like to design one on the spot and don’t like to copy them. I like unique ones.
I realized that since tailpieces are such a big part of my literary experience, I should use them in my blogging, ebooks, and articles, too. I am going to create a library of them. These digital ones I just created on the Sketchbook app.

Do you still see tailpieces in books?
With love and light,
Eve
Dear Lovestar,
I have been listening to Shaman Durek (fun fact, my lover is a shaman), and I tried this tell me more trick while sitting in nature.
I immediately heard my twin flame say I love you, which triggered a beautiful heart-opening reaction.
I then asked tell me more and beautiful, loving, and some private thoughts came through increasing the warmth I was feeling in my heart.
It was a beautiful mini meditation that left me smiling.
Coming soon: note on the smiling. I’m starting a smile more challenge ☺️ 😊 😄
It is for Venus and I will be talking about this soon.
I also received a request from Spirit to talk about my spiritual view of why our monthly running (or moon connecting blood offering) can be extremely after profound spiritual work.
Talk soon,
Eve
