Adore Minute : Bless His Humble Nature

So as a gay man, I do get to participate in girl talk and contribute to the subjects on the table.  The goodness of a man or the badness of a man is the basic theme.  But these days, I have been blessed to be speaking more about the goodness of a man in my circles.  So one topic we have been discussing lately has been the "arrogance" or  the "sharp mind that can be devious".  So it stands to reason that the man with true and honest intentions for loving you goes to the top of the list.

So my vote goes to Jason Hoppy!  I loved him in Bethanny Getting Married.  He was sweet, strong and honest in his intentions.  So bless that the type of honesty, humbleness and good intentions.  My girlfriends went for Josh Groban.  I have been to one of his concerts but he is a darlin as well from what I saw at his concert. So today, we adore the humbleness within good men and men with good and honest intentions.  Those strong enough within themselves to let their warmth from inside shine out!  CB loves that and is saying thanks to those wonderful men that can do that!  Mwah!

Adore Minute : Separate Togetherness

I am in the wonderful Sun City area for the weekend for the Michael Buble concert.  I am very excited as all my friends that have attended are all raving about how good his concerts have been.  To add to my happy mood, I have some wonderful scenery in front of me.  Noted in the pic above!  Yummy indeed.   But it is what is happening next to me that I am loving most of all.

So there is this very cute couple.  The lady is chilling and reading her kindle and her man is playing guitar in this soft, gentle, loving manner.  And it is beautiful soft and loving music.  Kinda like you in Europe in some romantic city with great atmosphere and love surrounding you.  Firstly that  man comes across very very HOT! hehehehehe  Nothing like a man in touch with his romantic side.

Just so sexy how he and his partner can just be in their zone together but separate.  They just so relaxed within themselves and comfortable with taking in the beauty around them ad each other.  Just being! Very sexy and very cool.  So adore it and bless them :)

Hope you having an awesome weekend wherever you are!  Will send updates on the uber cool Michael Buble!

Mwah!

Adore Minute : See The Best In The Situation

I was b1tching to one of my trusted advisors yesterday.  I was really disappointed in a person and situation I found myself in.  I was frustrated and irritated by having to take on additional tasks to get a certain job done.  To my surprise I noticed how he kept coming back to a balanced view and taking me back to seeing the situation and the person in a bigger context.  I was annoyed at first as it was always meant to be about me and my feelings!

But reflecting further on the wisdom he shared with me, it is very awesome how he is able to see the best in every situation and person.  And what an amazing trait to have that ability to look beyond the person, their behaviour in the moment and see the true goodness they are capable of.  And I can see why so many respect him and adore him.  He is able to see more to the person than the situation and behaviour in the moment of weakness or confusion.  He believes in the innate goodness and talent in people.

So thanks to him for being that inspiration to me!

Adore Minute : Walk Through The Open Door

I know this young and very amazing man.  There is a 10 year difference in our age, so the generation gap does exist.  I am amazed how one can learn from anyone in your life if you allow yourself to be open.  So we were hanging out the other day and we decided we would go for a walk around my estate.  Now I will admit, I was not one to explore the estate I live in but I decided to go with flow and do the nature walk.

I was pleasantly surprised by how adventurous he was and how he led the way in unfamiliar territory.  He went with the flow and took each step rather confidently as it showed up.  I was reminded of how one has to keep their curiosity and adventurous spirit and walk through the open doors that present themselves to you.  In most cases there is something rather cool on the other side.

So let's explore and take the step as it presents itself to us.

Adore Minute : I See Your Character!

I was at a dinner party the other night and I met an very sweet and awesome guy.  He was in a happy and strong relationship and that was so great for me to witness.  Somehow, we started speaking about our celebrity crushes and with an iPad nearby we could just go online and show what we were speaking about.  So when I showed him a pic of my celebrity crush, he said something that really got me thinking.  He told how he was not interested in all the skin pics and preferred seeing someone's eyes or face to see their character.  PS : The pic I chose to show him was shirtless pic ;)

It really got me thinking about how we see the men we meet.  If we are willing to look into them and see their character and be ready to like, adore or love that, how different would our experience of them be.  At the end of the day, I would also liked to be known and loved for who I am on the inside.  Why would it be different for another person?

So this post is to adore the concept of Looking Into Someone To See The Beauty Of Their Character!  Love It!

May 2012 : Man Awesomeness

I really enjoyed the A to Z blog challenge during April.  I have been inspired for May to speak about the Awesomeness Of The Men in Our Lives.  I have come to realise that I do have a specific view of men.  Yes I have my template that I use to tick their worthiness against.  And to be frank, it is not like it is working for me getting someone worth investing time and getting to know.  But it looks like I am not the only one that has a template.  I am one of the masses in the gay community that works on a template.  But there the lucky ones in the gay world that look at the beauty within and take someone for who they are.  And yes, they actually find happiness.

I do see how I play my part in strengthening the community's view of what makes a good and worthy man.  All you need to do is go online and you can start seeing what is out there in terms of the "standard"  How many of us buy into it or support it by coveting men that fit that standard.  Some phrases that I have come to see out there : "Straight Acting" "No Fem" "No Fats" "Muscular wanting same" "Fit wanting same" These are mostly followed by pics of sixpacks, torsos or some form of skin.  So that is what can be the standard available for some or most to buy into.  And please don't get me wrong.  This is not me saying there is no place for it and it is bad.  If that is what works for some, it works.  For me, I am looking for that relationship that takes me deeper into understanding me, love and someone else.  So it does stand to reason, that I would struggle to get that out it if all I saw in a guy was how well his torso and abs looked and did not bother to know the person behind that.  One would need to look deeper than that!

So I have decided to take a journey this month and celebrate a man on more that what he looks like.  So join me as we celebrate the awesomeness of the men we know and men we will meet during this month.  Whether you straight or gay, the men in your life bring an amazing quality and let's celebrate that.  I will be posting a daily "Adore" post over and above my usual posts which will be my way of recognizing and loving the good in the men I meet and know.

So let us celebrate the awesomeness of the men in our lives.  Mwah!
