Eve’s beginner calligraphy: Poetry Journal. These Half Good words were some of my favorite 😍
I have been complaining about my calligraphy on this blog, which is unlikely.
Not because my calligraphy is excellent but because I understand that being a beginner is the learning and growth phase.
Today, I want to show you my progression in the art of calligraphy.
Notice the shakey hand of a beginner… This was my own design.
CalligraphyTips:
I got books to learn and inspire my children (my homeschooling tactic is I learn what I want my kids to learn, and as they watch me, they get motivated and choose to learn also).
We also got the right tools for calligraphy
I have been learning from the books
This way of writing letter C I had seen in the past but it was my first try. Learned this weekend from a book. I love the letter B! How many ways can a poet write Love? That is a post I’ll share in the future. The spiky Love was my favorite. My daughters felt it was too embellished, though I copied the calligraphy of this poem. Not my favorite, but it was great practice. Hearts letters: I have been working on my heart letters forever, and these are of my own design. My second daughter has started to draw heart letters and has started doing the lovely swirl flourishes that I have always done.The calligraphy of a poet includes heart flourishes B is one of my favorite letters First time with this style of lettering. Or was it really because I remember this style from before. I know my dad did lettering like this… Is calligraphy like meditation? At least for me it was. It was extremely healing.
Yes, this has been my eclipse gift! Thank you, universe! I’ll never forget this gift!
I’ll be showing you more of my poetry journal this week, including the poetry.
I am feeling so romantic today! I want to lounge on the couch with my lover. I want to kiss and be kissed so gently. I want a warm embrace, and I want to make love under a full moon.
I want to receive a love letter. I want someone to dedicate me a song. I want to receive a poem.
I want to dance around in a red ruffle dress. I want to wear a flower or my already romantically long hair. I want pearls on my neck.
This is starting to sound like a poem…
I want to hold hands. I want to look into someone’s eyes and discover their soul. I want to feel even deeper.
That is why I come online and talk to you. Thank you, fellow romantic, for receiving my bold yet humble gift of romance.
Romance is an unmet need that I have. My lover is not romantic like that. He accepts attention, but he’s a stoic…
I’m guessing that lots of humans have an unmet need around romance, and I have a solution.
You be romantic!
I’m feeling romantic, so I did this:
I went for a little walk in the park
I let my hair down and felt cute
I went under the sun
I took pictures of bugs I shared with my lover, and we talked about them
I sat against my favorite tree, which I’ve blogged about before in the clean-up of the park post I shared
I took pictures of myself on this tree
I sent my lover’s the pictures
I shared a joke with him
And I talked to you. Thank you for listening
We believe it’s the spotless lady beetleOh, I should have smiled. No worries, I am smiling now. 😊 I am not taking my shoes off here, but oh how I wish I was in my private garden. My best friend, the tree, is such a romantic! We’re perfect for each other.
I have decided to romance myself and to share my gift of romance with other romantics.
In other words, Scorpio, my dear partner, doesn’t have to change to meet my need! I’ll meet my own romantic need. He does meet my Love and certainly lovemaking needs. Also, my friendship and conversation needs.
I am not blaming my beloved Scorpio for not being a romantic, and I understand him for it 100 percent. He is but a victim of this cruel world.
The problem is not the individual people who are not romantic. The problem is the setting we’re playing in.
This is a huge topic for me. To not bore you, I’ll continue on another post.
Are you a romantic, too?
How do you meet your need for romance?
Is your person a romantic?
With love and light,
Eve, creating tools to satisfy my hunger for romance.
Picture this: a couple is having a hard conversation. They love each other very much, and because of that, they’ve been avoiding this conversation, and by now, it’s worse. This is my love and I…
She gets emotional and calls him insensitive. He complains that she’s too emotional and overreacts. She gets triggered and overreacts. He gets offended and withdraws. They don’t talk to each other for a week and don’t resolve the issue. They try to act like it didn’t happen, but there is a loss of trust from unresolved issues.
How should we have difficult conversations? They are unavoidable in love relationships if we intend to deepen the connection?
Can we have a difficult conversation with our love partner while focusing on love, connection, and union? I believe it’s all in the energy we go into the conversation with.
In fact, the intention we have going into the conversation alone doesn’t manifest the result. Triggers occur during difficult conversations. We can get triggered, or they can get triggered. Also, if our ego is involved, a fight might be the result. A misunderstanding so serious can occur that loving partners can up to break up during a tough conversation.
Up until now, my beloved and I have not been the best at communication. We mean well, but we’re both loners, we both had issues going into our relationship, and we’re both moody water signs. We misunderstand each other frequently. Now we know not to get emotional over a misunderstanding but to have a productive conversation instead.
I mean no judgment to anyone having an issue with this. I am learning this now. I write about the things I have learned the hard way mostly. I have learned how to have a difficult conversation with my lover, and we can come out of it with a deeper connection. I am teaching you what I have learned.
It’s not easy to be conscious when we feel disrespected, hurt, or emotional. However, what I’m suggesting is exactly to go into a difficult conversation consciously. Read through the list below, and you’ll notice that you will need to be conscious to be able to handle yourself in a way that you’ll manifest the best outcome for both parties.
I will elaborate further in tomorrow’s post.
Tips for having conscious, difficult conversations in love
Today, I offer you tips for having a difficult conversation with your love partner while focusing on deepening your connection and strengthening your love and union:
1. **Choose the Right Time and Place:** Find a time when both of you are relaxed and free from distractions. Choose a quiet and private space where you can talk openly without interruptions. Drop your cell phones.
2. **Set the Right Intentions:** Approach the conversation with the intention of understanding each other better and strengthening your relationship rather than blaming or accusing.
3. **Use “I” Statements:** Express your thoughts, feelings, and concerns using “I” statements to avoid sounding accusatory. For example, say, “I feel…” instead of “You make me feel…”.
4. **Active Listening:** Practice active listening by fully focusing on what your partner is saying without interrupting. Show empathy and understanding by reflecting back what you hear to ensure you understand correctly. Don’t be thinking of your response while they talk.
5. **Express Empathy:** Show empathy towards your partner’s feelings and perspectives, even if you disagree. Validate their emotions and let them know you understand how they feel. Tell them something like “I understand how you’re feeling misunderstood” or “I understand how you could feel disrespected even though it wasn’t my intention.”
6. **Be Honest and Transparent:** Be honest about your feelings and concerns, even if they are difficult to express. Transparency builds trust and intimacy in the relationship. Practice. Tell them you’re having a hard time expressing this.
7. **Focus on Solutions:** Instead of dwelling on the problem, focus on finding solutions together. Brainstorm ideas and compromises that work for both of you to resolve the issue. Think of the future rather than the past.
8. **Maintain Calmness:** Stay calm and composed during the conversation, even if emotions run high. Take deep breaths and pause if needed to regain composure before continuing. Take a break if needed. Do not shout!
9. **Practice Patience and Understanding:** Understand that difficult conversations take time and may require multiple discussions to reach a resolution. Be patient with each other and avoid rushing the process.
10. **End on a Positive Note:** Conclude the conversation on a positive note, reaffirming your love and commitment to each other. Express gratitude for your partner’s willingness to engage in open communication. Hugs and caressing or a kiss and an “I love you” should end the conversation.
Remember, difficult conversations can be challenging, but they also present opportunities for growth and deeper connection in your relationship. Approach them with love, compassion, and a willingness to understand each other better.
I already had a difficult conversation with my lover, and I realized that I’ve been keeping a lot inside to keep the peace. The buildup was upsetting our peace, though…
So, I’ll be using these tips much more often.
This weekend, we have a date to chat 💛 ❤️ 😍
Which was your favorite?
When I have thought conversations with my man, #2,4,5 have offered the best results.
Thank you very much for reading, and if you loved this, follow this blog because I have lots of other love and union advice.
With love and ligh,
Eve, ready for this weekend: planned the outfit, the conversation, thinking about the lovemaking
Continuing on my latest trend of twin flame tools, today I offer you journaling prompts that should help you manifest/ promote/ ascend your union.
Can these be used by non twin flames?
Absolutely!
But note that these prompts are intended to trigger a soul union with a beloved. You could be discouraged if you find your partner is not a soul connection.
You can use these to create a deeper connection in a long-term, committed relationship of loyal Love. These will not attract anyone you want into your life but rather the person God created for you.
Twin flame union journaling prompts.
1. **Reflective Gratitude**: Reflect on the qualities of your twin flame that you are grateful for. How do these qualities contribute to your growth and ascension? Write a gratitude list focusing on your twin flame’s positive attributes and how they enhance your journey together.
2. **Alignment Visualization**: Envision your ideal twin flame union. What does it look and feel like? Visualize yourselves in perfect alignment, both individually and as a couple. Write down the details of this vision and how it makes you feel.
3. **Healing Intentions**: Identify any lingering wounds or obstacles within yourself or your twin flame that may be hindering your union. Set intentions for healing and release. Journal about the steps you can take individually and together to promote healing and growth.
4. **Clearing Blocks**: Explore any patterns or beliefs that may be blocking the manifestation of your twin flame union. Write about ways you can release these blocks, whether through meditation, therapy, or self-reflection.
5. **Soul Connection Exploration**: Dive deep into the spiritual connection between you and your twin flame. Reflect on past synchronicities, soul contracts, and shared experiences. Journal about the significance of these connections and how they guide your journey towards union.
6. **Communication Intentions**: Set intentions for open, honest, and loving communication within your twin flame relationship. Reflect on any communication challenges you’ve faced and how you can overcome them together. Write down affirmations or mantras to support clear communication.
7. **Sacred Union Rituals**: Brainstorm rituals or practices that honor your twin flame union. This could include meditation, energy healing, or sacred ceremonies. Journal about how these rituals can deepen your connection and promote spiritual growth.
8. **Divine Timing Trust**: Surrender any feelings of impatience or urgency surrounding your twin flame union. Trust in the divine timing of your journey and write about how you can cultivate patience and surrender. Focus on living in the present moment and finding joy and fulfillment independent of union.
These prompts are designed to help you delve deep into your twin flame journey, fostering growth, healing, and alignment towards union. Happy journaling!

Being more feminine is a goal of mine. I don’t have an end goal, but it’s a constant progression.
I ditched feminism because I had felt that I was better than men for too many years, and this caused separation in my union with my lover, Scorpio.
What I want now is to be more feminine because I now feel that being a harsh feminist made me less feminine.
I did notice that as I became more feminine, my lover became more masculine. Additionally, I feel safer, more abundant, more empowered, more powerful, and I feel more love. And I’m obviously a better mom now.
3 things to make me feel more feminine this week:
Spiritual self care: I plan on taking a delicious bath today. I added flower essential oils to my soap, shampoo, and conditioner, and the lovely smell is making me want to spend more time in the bath. I’m going back to the basics here as I have written at length about taking spiritual baths, and I have had very spiritual experiences in that bath. I have been cleaning and organizing my bathroom, and this will help me feel more feminine: spending time in a beautiful space, smelling like flowers, dressing up afterwards.
Deep cleaning my house and de-cluttering: loving my house makes me feel very feminine.
Expressing myself vulnerably: I have made a date with my partner to have a deep chat. There are lots of things I need to get off my chest, and this will make me feel more calm and relaxed, and it should deepen our connection, which should make me feel beloved and thus more feminine.
What makes you feel most feminine?
As a bonus, I’m making my kitchen my space. I never liked being in the kitchen, and I hated doing the dishes. I was able to convince myself to love cooking and especially cooking very fancy and complex meals. I was also able to teach myself to bake. I’m now, as I said, jokingly brainwashing myself to love doing the dishes because I only want to do the things that I love.
I put a diffuser right behind my sink, and I add my fanciest oils, Rose, Jasmin, and Geranium, which are my perfumes (together with lavender) to do the dishes. Now, as I do the dishes, I smell my perfumes, which are also the most relaxing oils to me. I’m a flower girl!
I only like to clean with music on and I’ve been singing and dancing in the kitchen more than ever.
We bought new dishes that I love to touch and look at, so washing them is a breeze, and it has worked wonderfully! Best transformation this month.
Finally, I’m allowing myself to watch TV. I think TV is a waste of time, and I don’t other than Naked and Afraid. Well, I can see the TV from my sink… whatever works.
A rewiring of my neurons is happening, and my house is so grateful. I’m grateful because now I don’t have to force myself to do human work. I love my time doing it, and I’m enjoying myself.
With love and light,
Eve, with my cleanest and best smelling house ever
Continuing on my radical Self Love writings, I am going to expand on this concept and how it has helped me as much as time allows.
In the meantime, I’ll leave you with a new poem on this topic. Read my radical self Love quote on my previous post. Please let me know if this topic helps you and if you need self-love writing prompts.
Do you struggle with this topic? I can’t be the only person who at times breaks under my own expectations…
Radical Self-Love
I would want to be a man If only just for a day To find me and love myself, And heal together all the way.
I would allow myself to be free. I would go the distance to get to know me. I would bring me flowers and write me poems. I would love myself to the end.
I would take my time not to scare me. I would learn my secrets to take care of them. I would tell me all the things I feel. I would make sweet, sweet love to myself.
If only I could be a manand meet myself, I would marry meright away I'd be a great husband and wife. I would never have to cry myself to sleep again.
Eve Lovestar
What a strange poem. I apologize if you didn’t like it. If so, read one of the mushy pieces I write for my lover man, Scorpio, on my poetry collection:
If you didn’t enjoy this poem, consider whether you would date yourself or make love to yourself or marry yourself. We all want Love (I believe you would not be on this blog if you didn’t), but are we embodying love? Do we feel worthy of love? Are we expecting from another something we are unable to give to ourselves?
This is why Love starts with self-love. If we’re unable to love ourselves as the truly wonderful creatures we are, then, should we expect another, let’s say, a magnificent male to love us? According to the laws of the universe, we receive what we are.
Self-love manifests true love
Hey, it’s Aries season now. Officially, it’s not a romantic time. I so miss Pisces season, my favorite time of the year!
And I was beaten by the eclipse energy! It was such a difficult time, but after about a week of crying, I have healed and upgraded myself and figured a way to make my union even stronger. How have you been feeling?
For many different reasons I have in the past suffered (at times) of low self steem.
Maybe I can write about this in the future. I’m signing up now simply to upload a new quote to the internet collective.
Please download and share this quote far and wide if you feel like this or if you intend to feel like this.
As a poet, remember that I use metaphors heavily. Also, clearly, I’ll never meet myself outside of me. I’m playing with fantasy and illusion on this piece.
Self Love
I love myself so much That if I met myself Outside of me, I'd become a lesbian today!
Eve Lovestar
This really made me smile. Thought about it in a delicious bath I had on Sunday. I want to put it on a T-shirt!
Dear reader, Ever since my first child, now 11, was a baby, I have been interested in homeschooling. By now, I have 3 daughters being educated at home. Today, I don’t want to call it homeschooling anymore because what we do is not school. It is definitely education but not school. Home as the first […]
My current favorite poem. My previous favorite was Interdimensional travel, which I just wrote into song form.
Dear Lovestar,
You know I’m a poetry fanatic. Today, I will give all (but including me) some ideas to include more poetry in our lives. I will be doing some of these.
But first, my newest poem:
"It Starts"
It starts with a kiss Or the soft breeze Brings me a piece Of you. Or it starts with a look, Or a page in a book Reminds me of you. It starts with a thought. Sometimes mine, Sometimes yours Mostly both Simultaneously. It starts with a kiss And the progress is quick Until we're on our sheets Making Love.

Activities to include poetry in
**Homeschool**: I love homeschooling (my children also have tutors) and use poetry for their lessons. I studied a lot of poetry, and I want to at least introduce my children to this magic. My oldest daughter has a great writing tutor (Dr. Anthony Radice) who has a poetry study class, and I’m convincing her to take it. Currently, I’m creating a Cleopatra lesson that I’ve been working on for about one week. I’m designing it to be an inmersive experience rather than a normal class, so I’m creating 2 board games, and I have integrated visualization exercises throughout the lessons and now I’m writing a poem for Cleopatra. Cleopatra was cool. She liked poetry! It’s the least I could do for the most powerful woman in history.
Exerpt of my children’s poem, Cleopatra Exerpt of Cleopatra. Work in progress
**Leisure Time**: Relaxing on a hammock with a poetry book or even reading poetry online 😀 and some snacks 😋 😀 is the perfect evening of weekend activity. I read poetry every day. I write poetry most days.
**Relaxation**: Weekends offer a break from the hustle and bustle of the workweek, making it an ideal time for leisurely pursuits such as reading poetry. Few things can be as relaxing. My tip is to save poems that are relaxing to you. Reminder that you can download most of my poems on my poetry collection, though this link totally free.
**Inspiration**: Whenever I find an inspirational poem, I save it. An inspiration poem is a great and very easy to use tool for inspiration.
**Personal Rituals**: Some individuals may have personal rituals or routines that involve reading poetry on weekends, such as enjoying a cup of tea while delving into a collection of poems.
**Spiritual Rituals**: Have you noticed how spells rhyme? It’s because there’s a secret power to rhyming and poetry. Including poetry and rhyming into our spiritual rituals makes sense.
**Nature and Inspiration**: Outdoor activities and nature walks can inspire creativity and appreciation for poetry. I write poetry at the park. Reading good poetry at the park would be awesome, too.
**Poetry in therapy**: Use poetry as a therapeutic tool for self-expression and reflection in counseling or support groups or personal reflections.
**Journaling**: It not only looks good on your journal, remember, there’s a secret power in poetry. If you don’t write poetry, simply write on your journal favorite poems or excerpts of poetry that speak to you or make you feel a desired way.
**Arts and Crafts**: Another use for poetry where it just makes sense. Practice your calligraphy, create artwork for your wall of a poem, dedication cards, use a printed poem as background for any art form, create mixed media art including a printed poem… the possibilities are endless. Please leave me a comment with additional ideas to include in this list.
**Romance**: What are poets most know for? Being romantics. Poems can offer insight, advice, inspiration, or a new energy that could potentially enhance your love life. I use my poetry 💯 percent to manifest the dream union I have today. But even before I fell in love, I loved to indulge in the sweet energy of a romantic poem.
**Learning a new language **: When you learn a new language, you study a lot of boring stuff. I’m suggesting you should study something fun like the poetry and/ or music I’m that language. It’ll be much more fun and it’ll help with learning about the culture, too.
What did you think?
Will you be using any of these tips?
