Dividing the Labor In Relationships

It’s a common misperception in relationships that things should be equal. Not so. Did that get your attention? Keep reading. Do we agree that most fights in relationships have to do with unmet expectations about who is responsible for what? (This includes keeping love, romance, trust and sex alive and thriving!) For example, you might […]

I’m Just Not Romantic and other Lies

Okay this one has some tough love in it – beware. I’m thinking your whole life is based on your theories. If you think true love is hard to find, you will probably manifest just that. If you think you can’t trust people, you will probably find it to be true. If you believe that people […]

Stop Withholding Your Pleasure

Especially you ladies (and yes, I am going to generalize here; please forgive me and know that I know no generalizations are totally true), you are going to need to stop withholding your pleasure from your mates and dates. Your pleasure is what makes the world go round. Go ahead, smile. Doesn’t that feel good? […]

Why Your Dating Profile Doesn’t Work

I’ll get right down to it. The irony baffles me: the number one quality most people are looking for in a potential mate is honesty, yet most people lie or stretch the truth in their dating profiles. Call me crazy, but I believe the energetics of this are real. I believe that if you lie […]

How To Have the Hard Conversations

I promised I’d give you tips on framing your conversations in order to deliver “your truth” with both grace and wisdom. First of all, if you still just want to fight, this won’t work. Take a long, hard look at whether or not you are ready to get the chip off your shoulder and hear […]

Done Dating?

 The “Done Dating?” group tele-course is starting next week and it got me really thinking about the mindset of falling in love and staying in love.So I asked Will, my husband, about why we “work.” His answer:“Lest my wife give you the impression that all is easy magic in our house, let me assure you […]

If Not 2010, When?

 Uh-oh. I am antsy again. I am feeling much better physically, but mentally, still uneasy. (By the way, thanks for all the feedback from the last newsletter. You are all so wise about wellness!) It dawned on me this morning that I don’t like deadlines. Or said better, deadlines drive up “my issues.” For me, […]
