LoveSnobs 101: Emotions shouldn’t stop honest Communication
A classic mistake we make in relationships is limiting communication to spare emotions.
Yes, it is essential not to be harmful with our words; our intent should never be to cause damage. But, as the old saying goes, “the truth hurts” not necessarily the terms. We search for someone or something to blame as a pose to listening with the intent to have a dialog to work on weaknesses.
When our Love ones are telling us, we are beautiful, smart, and great; we are okay with “the truth.” When they have to express how they aren’t attracted to us anymore, or how we aren’t prioritizing them into our lives effectively, or even they cheated; we want the right wording, the way we see fit. It doesn’t work that way. We should know the people we Love and listen for the intention, not the word choice.
Effective communication with a friend or partner isn’t the same as dealing with co-workers or strangers. Yes, they both take active listening and effective communication. But, with friends and partners, we can be more direct because they understand our many layers. When talking with friends or partners, we should be comfortable with” no sugarcoating” because they know our intent, and we know theirs.
So let’s work on seeing truthfulness as thoughtfulness, not harsh or hurtful.
Message from The LoveSnobs
LoveSnobs 101: Friend Are?!
LoveSnobs 101:
We all have friendships. Are our friendships fueled by “AccountableLove”?
We have friends that ask but are never in a place to give. Are they friends?
We have friends that give but refuse to accept help? Are they friends?
Friends don’t “just” build each other up. They celebrate life together. They challenge the wrong in each other. They support the right of each other. Friends are there for our amusement. They exist to be our muse.
So, If we aren’t around people that influence us positively, “friend” may not be their title.
I Deserve the Best of People….
I believe I deserve the best of people. I understand with great Love comes the responsibility of being challenged to be great. I am up for the challenge. I will show up with my heart in hand, and I expect to be handed their hearts. We will trade yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Being fully present means Love is connecting us and building a healthy relationship through us. Whether you are my partner or my friend, you have that title because I have invested my life, and you have spent your life in me as well.
Relationships Are Serious
I am serious about all the relationships I have or enter. It doesn’t mean I don’t laugh or clown. It says that I am committed to the health of those relationships. I will take the time to connect by listening, talking, and coming to a common ground. I am excited about growing together, which might mean years of tearing down bad habits and building great habits. Anyone in my life must be ready to show up every day because I will be present.
The Birth of “The LoveSnobs”
We have been friends for over 20 years. We have had a time of distance, yet have made our way back to each other. What allows us to be great friends? Our ability to be brutally honest, willfully dedicated, mindfully devoted, and faithfully trusting. We have maintained “AccountableLove” as faith and lifestyle. We have built a village that goes beyond just raising children. It’s about enhancing each other daily. We have been so many people’s support and model of how a Friendship should look. So, we have decided to share what we have with the world. Our podcasts and workshops aren’t for people who lack integrity and discipline. They are for fellow “LoveSnobs,” focusing on creating healthy relationships while walking away from unhealthy relationships….
Join the Discussion, AccountableLove isn’t for everybody, but it will benefit everyone.
We are Human Because We Learn From Our Mistakes
Today, my son fell out of his high chair because I didn’t thoroughly check to make sure he was secure. I was doing several things at once and forgot to focus on the most important thing, his safety. I failed him. Yes, “I am human, and humans make mistakes,” but I also acknowledge that mistake could have cost him his life, or at the least changed his life dramatically. Yet, I didn’t have time to feel sorry for myself. I ran to him, wrapped my arms around his screaming body, and soothed him with kisses, tight hugs, and placed ice on the lump protruding from the left side of his head. He cried for ten minutes, then gave me a smile that allowed me to know he was fine. This ten-month boy found time in his pain to soothe me. I continued examining him to erase my guilt. I looked at him, and he started to laugh. At that moment, I realized the strength of spirituality. He knew I knew that we would be in this life together. A lesson was granted to me; his safety first, better habits need to be employed. I placed him back in his high chair, made sure he was strapped in and secured, and we dined as a family. My lesson in AccountableLove today is, mistakes need to be corrected; there is no time to feel sorry for ourselves when we failed someone we Love. Love means changing a bad habit to strengthen the overall relationship.

The Struggle Of AccountableLove is a podcast about the difficulty of introducing the world to the concept of AccountableLove. The “AccountableLove Podcast” team aren’t victims. The LoveSnobs embrace the enormous task of redefining Love as a faith instead of emotion. Yet, sometimes their purpose is a struggle. The strain comes from assisting people in redefining their unhealthy ideas about relationships. Old habits are hard to break. But, when do we break our toxic cycles? Today! We don’t wait until yesterday. Yet, when we ask people to argue until they are on the same page, to challenge the best in one another, and find genuine joy in living life together. They see the work and choose the demon they know. It isn’t acceptable. There comes a time when we have to look our children in the face and say, “you all deserve a better example of Love.” “They deserve AccountableLove.” The Struggle Of AccountableLove explains why The LoveSnobs embrace the struggle.

Stop Using Trauma as a Crutch is a podcast about healing and moving forward. The LoveSnobs explain the importance of communicating our past pain with our new partners.
Why?
1) They should have a clear understanding of who we are, and our past will highlight that.
2) We want to explain what we will not tolerate.
3) We want to assure we have learned from that pain. But, we should never use our pain to control a future relationship.
Trauma is a source of reference, not a crutch. Our future partnerships and friends are signs that we have healed and are ready for something more significant in our lives. We forgive those people and prepared to move forward. Starting over means, our Trauma didn’t break us; it made us understand that we can shine in the worst situations. Stop Using Trauma as a Crutch explains how important it is the heal from our past, so we don’t damage our future. Listen, Learn, and Enjoy!
