Does a woman need a room of her own?

A woman requires a sweet spot hideout to release her inner core, the most erogenous zone of all.

Apparently women’s brains resemble a superhighway while a man’s brain is more of a country road.  I am no brain expert, merely quoting experts.    http://healthyliving.msn.com/health-wellness/his-brain-her-brain-1 So why does brain matter matter?  A man’s brain keeps thoughts in tidy little piles, and woman’s thoughts are all connected, and picked over.    So a man already has compartments in his head and typically he has his “man cave”  his hangout room in reality.  The den or family room is

Why You Shouldn't Take Everything So Personally

Why You Shouldn't Take Everything So Personally

Take a chill pill.

In the middle of a serious conversation a few weeks ago, my husband got up to get himself a cup of water. I was incensed! Here we were, having this serious discussion and he has a sudden urge for water that he couldn't control? In a fury I tell him, "I would never have done that to you!" I felt totally dismissed by him. You know what else he does? He sleeps when he is tired, and he goes to the bathroom when he has the urge. For women … these actions are revolutionary. For men, setting aside these needs would be insanity.

We may yearn to be in a loving relationship, especially around this time of year, but what many of us don’t realize, is that in order to find happiness as part of a couple, we need to first feel happy being single. Also, just because you don’t have a boyfriend right now, doesn’t mean you don’t have lots of love to give, whether it’s on a pet, a family member, or friends.

Have You Forgotten About Tonto? Help Your Love Life Now!

Give up the “Lone Ranger” approach and remember...even the Lone Ranger had Tonto! Go for love!

As you may know, I’m American. And one thing us Americans tend to value above all else is self-sufficiency and independence (wait, that’s two things... but you know what I mean). I mean, most of us have rebellious pioneers in our DNA and we pride ourselves on being “self-made”- not that there’s really such thing. Nobody is a “self-made” anything... there was a team (even if a team of one other person) of some sort behind the success of one person.

Morning Love Power Questions

Morning Love Power Questions

What if YOU asked yourself these questions every morning? How would that set the course of your day?

Every morning, when I’m hugging and kissing Isabelle good bye as she is leaving for school, we have a little ritual. I ask her 4 questions:   1. Who is worthy of everything wonderful? (She answers, “I am worthy of everything wonderful!) 2. Who loves and accepts herself EXACTLY as she is, right now? (She answers, “I love and accept myself EXACTLY as I am right now!)
