The smallest of gestures
1. Write it by hand.
2. Write it on a blank card — not in a greeting card or on nice stationery. Be spontaneous. Write it on whatever is available: a piece of cardboard or the back of a manila folder. Urgency is romantic.
3. Think about the qualities you most admire. Pick no more than two. One should be unknown to your partner. Help your partner discover the best parts of themselves while you continue to discover your partner. Use a recent observation — an act of kindness, love, generosity.
4. Don’t be effusive. Be clear and simple.
5. Allow yourself to be vulnerable. Trust yourself. Trust your partner. Compassion is the key to an open heart.
6. Be completely in the moment .
