Divorce is full of myth and legends, and it is important to dispel those myths in order to heal.
Divorce is full of myths and legends. There are myths and legends regarding statistics of divorce and how others see people who are divorced. The myths and legends that I am talking about are not the ones that are propagated by others, but feelings that many divorcees have themselves. Dispelling the myths of divorce is not easy, and trying to do so can be a lesson in futility, but let’s give it a try.
Sometimes in life we find ourselves feeling stuck or stopped, imprisoned by your thoughts or trapped by your circumstances. Notice yourself saying:
nothing's working
I'm stuck
why me?
I feel like I'm spinning my wheels
Some common triggers that my clients say can land them in energetic quicksand include:
He is smitten. But, can this Bachelor make it work with his Rapunzel? How To Disarm Love Sabotage.
I have a guilty pleasure.
I LOVE the Bachelor.
Now, don't get me wrong, I see the contrived nature of the show. I understand the unreality of reality TV. That doesn't stop my delight at watching these women handle their attraction to handsome Brad.
How fairy tale myths prevent us from finding and keeping true love.
In fairy tales, sometimes the princess kisses a frog, or otherwise falls in love with a beast, and by doing so reveals his true nature as her prince. There are two facets to this particular myth. The first facet is that you can change someone, which is almost always untrue and sets the princess up for disappointment. You can’t change another person; you can only change yourself.
3 Essential Steps to Creating a Full Heart ready for an engaged relationship
In my on going quest for personal growth and my commitment to expanding my consciousness I have been constantly pulled and pushed to challenge myself in looking at how I can shift my perspective.
I was having tea with my friend and amazing relationship coach, Orna Walters, not too long ago. We were talking about our journeys and how we got to where we are today. It was like I had run into an old friend, and we were both giddy as we talked about our lives and realized we had so much in common.
Discover how appreciating your body & inherent beauty can bring more pleasure to your relationships.
Many would agree that as a culture we have been seduced by industries that spend billions of dollars each year encouraging us to buy and buy and buy to try to achieve an elusive and unfeasible ideal of beauty.
Millions of our friends, family and neighbors feel so tortured by this unattainable standard of beauty that they are willing to starve themselves, make themselves sick or avoid interaction with others because they feel ashamed of being seen. On the less extreme scale, millions of others feel disappointed about their bodies and beli
So you've found out that your spouse loves someone else. What can you do to win him or her back?
You suspected it long before you knew it for sure.
Your spouse changed but you couldn’t quite explain the changes in a way that seemed to make sense to anyone else. You thought that you were imagining things, being insecure. Then you began to vacillate, worrying that you must be right but telling yourself that surely you aren’t. When you asked questions, the answers seemed a little too slick, too rehearsed. Sometimes your questions hit harder and your spouse reacted with anger or sarcasm, telling you that you’re paranoid.

If you are over 30 and single, you have certainly heard the question, “Why aren’t you married?” There is an subtle undercurrent that goes with the question and you may interpret their prodding into your love life as if they are saying “What is wrong with you?” or “I can’t believe someone like you is still single!”

“Wait three days before calling.”
“Laugh at his jokes and act very interested.”
“Tell him you have plans (even when you don’t) and act disinterested.”
“Don’t drink too much, talk about your ex, or have sex on the first date.”

Dear Readers,
Due to an overwhelming response with emails after my article/blog “Sleeping with the Enemy,” I decided to write in a different format. I received 183 letters from people all over the U.S. (the article was posted in Chicago as well as the East Coast), and I found myself feeling limited and unhelpful with my template, explaining I was not authorized to give out individual advice.
