Have You Found Your Penguin?

If you could describe the love of your life in 10 words or less, would you say it’s joyous, profound, sexy, loyal, desirable, perfect or lonely, frustrating, sad, nonexistent?  

Whether you're single or spoken for in our heart of hearts we are all searching for our penguin. We all desire a person in our life that loves us as we are and as we intend to be. They see our beauty where we can only see flaws. They lift our spirits, encourage, protect and provide. This week's Sun-day design is a reflection of love. 

Think about the person you’re married to, seeing, or most recently dated. Is this person a penguin, barely present, or just passing through?  Penguins typically mate for life and most of their species are serial monogamists.  We can learn a lot from penguins. In thinking about your own mate here are few question to consider in translating their love language into your world:

• When you talk about your life dreams does he or she BELIEVE you should go for it and wants to help?
  
• When you're feeling insecure or defeated can you count on this person to shift their FOCUS to you?
  
• When you share your thoughts or feelings with this person they show they CARE and try to comfort you?
  
• Does this person SHARE with you his or her own goals and wants your support and encouragement too?
  
• Does this person plan his or her summer vacation and considers the time you'll spend TOGETHER? 
  

If you can respond yes to these questions your on the right track! Your penguin brings more than money, cars, or status. In your relationships you feel connected, valued, and secure. This doesn't mean you and your partner won't have things to work on or want to improve. It means that you're consciously committing to designing a life together.  If you’re married or seeing someone, make sure you're supporting one another's dreams. making each person a priority. If you’re dating or venturing into the dating world use this checklist to help you look for qualities that are worthy of a mate for life.
