Wouldn't it be wonderful to fall in love this summer? Tired of wishful thinking? Here's the answer!
Wouldn't it be wonderful to fall in love this summer? Tired of wishful thinking? Here's the answer!
If this past Summer wasn't the most romantic, sexiest, happiest time for you, take a vow to re-commit putting your attention on manifesting your soulmate in the coming months.
To begin ask yourself these questions:
1. Is now the right time in my life to bring in new love? (and, am I willing to spend some time each day focused on magnetizing love to me?)
2. What belief about myself must I let go of in order to manifest the relationship I desire?
Ever gotten one of those questions that stop you in your tracks? Out of the mouth of babes....
“Mommy, What’s A Soul Mate?”
The child with the big blue eyes and tousled blonde curls looked up to her mom curiously.
“Why do you ask?” She said
“I heard you talking to grandma last night and you sounded so sad when you told her you didn’t think you would ever find a soul mate again.”

Want to avoid divorce? Want to give your marriage the best chance for lasting success? Before it's too late, date!
Dating is especially important for couples with young children. Why?

Are you in love with your best friend? Feel like you need to tell them? Prepare yourself first.
All of us have had that one special person we fantasized about and thought would be a perfect spouse. This person is usually a good friend, and as the friendship begins to grow we also become extremely attracted to them physically and emotionally. It isn’t long before we desire them day and night, and will put ourselves out there to “help” them in any way we can. If they call us, it makes our day! If they don’t, we feel alone and neglected. We finally get the courage to tell them how we feel, and we know the minute we say it, we shouldn’t have.
What's the Best Kept Secret of Divorce?

While most of what I hear relates to the trauma and pain of divorcing, I have noticed a surprising sentiment among many divorces: people secretly like their time off from parenting.
A newly divorced client in her forties puts it this way:
It turns out that men have a mood altering cycle all their own.
Although a woman’s monthly periods and the roller coaster moods that go with them are widely known and parodied, it turns out men have a mood altering pattern all their own. One reason the male cycle is so poorly understood is because a man’s testosterone level, the driver behind his cycle, changes rapidly with his environment and moods, so measuring it can be challenging. But here’s what we know:
1. The male cycle occurs once every 24 hours, with peaks 6 or 7 times a day and smaller fluctuations occurring every 15 to 20 minutes.
