A Prescription for Love.

For anyone who is struggling with their herpes, and even for those who are not struggling, here’s my prescription for Love.

Love is the universal agent of healing. Everything good and positive and sustainable in this world comes from love. The best prescription for herpes is a daily mega-dose of love.

Do you love yourself? Has having herpes made you love yourself less? If others try to trash you for having herpes- love yourself so hard and so well that the hate and ignorance from the outside world cannot penetrate the golden light of love around you.

Are you loving others? or has herpes made you shut down and go into hiding? People out there need your love. To withhold your love and sex from others because of being ashamed of having herpes not only robs you of the experience of being loved but robs others of the chance of being loved by you. Love always opens up , real love doesn’t close down. Open your heart and mind and get back into the world and love.

Do you love your life? Life is such a precious short gift. It’s a crying shame to waste any of it feeling anything but happy and grateful for life. No matter who you are or how you live there’s always something to love about your life, everyday.

Do you love your body? Are you giving it the things it needs to manage herpes? Are you eating and drinking for health first or to satisfy cravings and addictions (i.e. coffee and chocolate).

Do you project Loving energy? Are you a shining beacon of love and beauty in this cold dark world. Love will keep you safe in the storm and feed you when you are hungry.

Have you learned how to make peace with the virus? Without peace can love really set down it’s roots?

Shopping in Beverly Hills last week I strolled Wilshire Boulevard popping in and out of fancy stores sizing up all the new designer handbags. There are a number of new looks for Fall 2005, and prices have a new look, too. Did you know designer handbags have become the staple in most wardrobes? It doesn?t take a genius to buy a pair of jeans and a T-shirt, but to purchase the correct designer handbag to pull it all together has become quite an art.

In conversations with many handbag salespeople, it was obvious the upcoming season will offer a variety of wild colors, exotic leathers, and metallic finished leathers. They will appear in shoulder styles, clutches, slings and large totes. Most designer bags remain consistent in size and function. The variations from season to season come to color, hardware, texture and price.

Prices are a difficult topic for handbag lovers to discuss, it became the purpose of the Beverly Hills shopping trip. Which designers will rise to the top? Which handbags will have the highest price tags? These thoughts offered astonishing observations wondering through the high-end boutiques and department stores.

Doing a bit of mental gymnastics with a few designer handbag price tags, it became obvious a calculator was needed! Prices are competing with Los Angeles mortgage payments! One designer bag, constructed of scratch resistant, pebble grain calf leather, had a hefty $3500.00 price tag. Durability to last a life time is a major characteristic of a quality handbag, but let?s get real here, women change handbags as often as they change their nail polish. Paying hefty prices for a designer handbag a few times each month is fashionable, but not healthy or wise.

Not mentioning any names, a lengthy conversation with a handbag specialist in a very well-known department store shed light on the day?s mission. We strolled the designer handbag department with calculator in hand. Punching in numbers of our favorite high-end designer, we came up with a hefty five-figure total for 10 handbags. Then, with jaws dropped open, the average price was uncovered! As expected, little was left to shock and surprise. Based on a sampling of the designer handbag prices, the price for a brand new, high-end designer handbag this season averages an all-time high of $2000.00 USD.

Oh my! What a price we pay to pull it all together ? that pair of denim jeans and T-shirt! We have become the hunters in search of the best designer handbag we can find. And, when we know it will coordinate with a pair of jeans and a T-shirt, then we know we?ve selected the best bag. We want to look good, and we want to feel good, too. It would be nice to know we can purchase a bag from a new designer and still make a mortgage payment this same month.

Here?s a solution. For those of us who know style and don?t want to compromise quality, find a designer handbag expert to coach and guide your investments. Lacking modesty, I?ll volunteer recommendations on a variety of designer handbags available at a fraction of what you?d expect to pay in a retail store.

You can actually purchase several handbags for the average cost of one designer handbag if you shop wisely. If you are a true designer handbag addict, and you purchase a new handbag whenever you get the urge, then you need a reliable source. Shop carefully at sites specializing in designer handbags, and you’ll find your favorite designers at as much as 50% less than the average cost on Rodeo Drive!
