Bust Open the Door to More Love, Intimacy & Romance
Do you have a woman in your inner circle who always seems to have guys fall over themselves to do things for her? Long before I became a relationship expert, I had a friend like that. Kelly was petite and charming with a head of thick, long raven black hair and, at the time, appeared to have the super power ability to inspire men wherever she went to do things for her. Men would buy her … [Read Article and Leave a Comment...]
10 Signs of a Healthy Relationship
Is your relationship healthy? Take a few minutes to read through this article and see how your relationship is doing. "My parents had a very good relationship," I often hear my clients say.

Love is a Choice
We tend to think of love as an uncontrollable feeling that comes over us. Although this overwhelming feeling does happen, real love and love that is sustained is always a choice: You choose to be open to someone, you choose to accept them, and that openness and acceptance allows love to flow. This process is often unconscious, so we often don’t realize we are choosing to accept someone when … [Read Article and Leave a Comment...]

The Gift of Acceptance
Some people are easier to love than others, and they are the ones, therefore, who experience a lot of love. They experience it both within themselves and coming to them from others. What is their secret? Amazing good looks? No. Stunning personalities? No. Money and power? No. Their secret is none of the things we assume will make us more lovable. Their secret is that they love, and by that I mean, … [Read Article and Leave a Comment...]
Ignoring and Accommodating Our Partner’s Conditioning
There are two ways to keep out of trouble in our relationships. The first is to ignore our own conditioning—our desires and ideas about how things should be. The second is to ignore or accommodate our partner's conditioning. Trouble starts when we are attached to having our own conditioning met, when we try to change our partner's conditioning, or when we let it trigger ours. So much of the … [Read Article and Leave a Comment...]
Inability to Commit
The ego doesn't want to commit to anything—a place, a relationship, a career—because it believes that something better may be possible, and it's willing to forgo what is present for the possibility of something better that isn't present. Essence, on the other hand, is committed to whatever is. It doesn't commit into the future because all that exists is the present, so it commits itself to … [Read Article and Leave a Comment...]
Love is Gentle
I was listening to a song the other day, and some of the words were "Love is gentle, and love is kind." The truth of that really touched me. We think of love as being a feeling—an emotion—but true love is more of a doing. Love touches, love gives, love is gentle, and it is kind. That's how we know it. We know love by its fruits. Love acts: It listens, it caresses, it nourishes, it nurtures. It … [Read Article and Leave a Comment...]
