Dating & The Law of Attraction. It is easier to achieve something when you can see it clearly.
I am sure by now you have heard this term a few times and may even be getting fed up with how much exposure it is receiving. What the does it mean anyway?
In simpler terms: Law of Attraction means: “like attracts like.” Or “behavior breeds behavior”
While this may sound like a simple concept this topic helps you learn how to “receive & believe” you can change your life to attract what you want. It doesn’t have to be a dream!
Developing the courage to let go and release is the way to peace in ourselves
“When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be….To hold, you must first open your hand. Let go.” -Lao Tzu
There might not be another word in the English language that evokes as much opening, tenderness and possibility as release. On an emotional level, the ability to let go is the essence of what real intimacy is made from. Our human longing to hold onto those we love must mature if it is to survive into emotional release.
Disney fame seemed to be a curse for the girls who grew up as role models
"Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent." ~Victor Hugo
Like millions of other young girls in this country, my daughters were raised with the Disney girls. My eldest was a long-time fan of both Lindsay Lohan and Hillary Duff and witnessed with disbelief as their girl-next-door appearances slipped into sex symbol and their lives slipped out of control in a world designed to devour them whole. Where were their parents, I wondered, as they made bad choice after bad choice?
If ever there was an emotional state that we idealize it is love.
“Love doesn’t sit there like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all of the time, made new.” ~Ursula K. LeGuin
If ever there was an emotional state that we idealize it is love. We want nothing of its dark belly underside; we demand that it always show only its shiniest side to us. Many of us are unprepared for the battles that the heart must be willing to carry on in the name of love.
It's okay to say No, to set limits and to expect cooperation from our partner.
Sometimes it feels like we have come to such a place based on the idea that we need to be politically correct, or polite that we’ve somehow lost the voice to politely, and assertively ask for what we want, and need.
In relationships, there is an underlying message we have often received, about not sweating the little stuff, to instead look at the big picture, and to pick our battles. It definitely makes sense, and I whole-heartedly agree with all those things.
Trust, to be real, is like peace and love: it has to come from within.
Last week I wrote about the three layers of trust in relationships. Since then I’ve been noticing how and when I trust people and situations, as well as how and whether others trust me in our interactions. What I’ve noticed is that my own ability to trust runs deep, and that my deep trust is contagious. It’s not universally contagious, but it has the potential to be. This deep trust carries with it a strong sense of peace and well-being, as if all is right with the world, even when appearances seem to deny it.
Is there really just one match for everyone? What exactly IS a soul mate?
We are all looking for that special someone to share our lives with… that certain someone who “fits” as if he or she was meant to be there. This exquisite person who is our one true love; the person designed as our match; our soul mate.
For many people, this idea that they have one “ideal mate” is a concept they struggle with. When potential loves enter their lives, they are left wondering if there’s someone “better” out there.

Today I am the Al Gore of romance, compiling a list of ten things which strike me as true, though not pretty, about Love.
Is facing them refreshing? Healthy? One of those Hey, look at that elephant in the room! sort of things?
That’s what I’m going for here.
And let’s see if you agree with me, and whether you’ve got some you’d like to add.
We all have a friend that tells us ALL about their relationship whether we want to hear it or not.
We all have a friend that tells us everything about their relationship whether we want to hear the sorted details or not. Do they want us to just listen to their stories or are we allowed to partake with an opinion or two?
What is the proper etiquette?
Many people have two fears in the way of intimacy. Discover what these fears are & how to heal them.
Emotional intimacy is one of the most wonderful experiences we ever have. Nothing else really comes close to the experience of sharing our deepest thoughts and feelings with another, of being deeply seen and known, of sharing love, passion, creativity, laughter and joy. The experience of intimacy fills our souls and takes away our loneliness.
Why, then, would someone be afraid of intimacy?
