Are you someone who feels certain that you can size up a man (or a woman) in 30 seconds and know whether or not they are your soulmate? Before I met Brian I would have said YES to this question.
I was pretty confident that my intuitive skills were that good. Thank God I had other "signs from the Universe" to get my attention when I met Brian because otherwise I might have passed up the man of my dreams.
Here's what to do when your intense feelings cloud your ability to react SMART in your relationship.
Feelings, feelings, feelings…we have them every day, all the time, good and bad with our partner…right? RIGHT!
That said, read this OUT LOUD:
Just because you have a FEELING, doesn’t mean you have to ACT on it.
Read it again. I mean it…
(this is me waiting for you to read it…)
(still waiting…do it already)

You can't depend on anyone else to maintain your boundaries. That's an inside job.

I recently had a conversation with a friend of mine, Kelsy, who was beside herself because her recent ex-boyfriend was not respecting her boundaries. She was laying them down very clearly, but he kept crossing the line. Sometimes he was stepping on the line, sometimes he was only one foot over the line. However, quite recently he was way over the line. It wasn’t like he was stalking her exactly. However he certainly wasn’t respecting her requests for space and privacy.
Get over yourself. Your parents are "doin' it" whether your like it or not.

Get over yourself. Your parents are having sex, whether you like it or not. And why shouldn't they. Can you honestly say that you can't imagine yourself not wanting to have sex at their age? When you think about how long you'll actually live, can you honestly imagine that you won't be having "S-E-X" during the last 20 years of your life? C'mon! There was a time when you would have been happy to have sex 20 times a day if you could manage. So get a grip and stop being so afraid to talk to your parents about grownup sex.
Why am I here? Has been a question asked throughout the ages. Learn how to get the answer.
When you are confused and not sure of what you are doing, it is always a good exercise to revisit your purpose, vision and mission. Those three statements ground us and give us the reason for going on.
F.E.A.R. or false evidence appearing real creeps into our lives when we lack purpose. Faith overcomes fear, and knowing specifically what you want and creating a plan to obtain it doesn't allow fear to enter to begin with.
How many of you have either fallen short or totally abandoned your New Year's
resolutions? I would guess most of you. It seems that it is almost expected that these goals most of us set will not be obtained. In fact, most people, from the beginning deep down know they will fail. Herein lies the problem. People actually set themselves up for continued disappointment. Can you break this cycle?
Is it possible to repair a marriage after one person has cheated? How do you go about it?

Recently, we again witnessed the dismantling of a celebrity marriage with the exposure of an affair. As always, the world watched, condemned, condoned and debated the question: Can a marriage survive an affair?
The fact is that whether celebrity or not and regardless of what the world thinks–only the couple can decide if their marriage will survive an affair.
STOP trying to act like you're friends while you break up: you're prolonging your misery!
Whether you're going through a divorce or a serious break-up, you might think that the 'bigger' thing to do - or 'easier' thing to do - is to try and be friends with your ex. No need to act all aloof and distant after sharing a wonderful relationship for so long, right? No need to stop your harmless texting either, right?
WRONG.
