Why Your Voice Matters and How to Get it Heard
Over the course of my life I have been given certain “gifts” that have forced me to step into the arena of life. I’m a firm believer in the idea that everything happens for a reason, and if we don’t step up and use our experiences as catapults for change and growth then we’re throwing away opportunities to touch and heal other people with similar challenges. Over the past year I made a conscious choice to step out and speak my truth around my battle with Cancer and the loss of my marriage. My sole intention has been to be […]

How to Make Love a Practice
“To begin by always thinking of love as an action rather than a feeling is one way in which anyone using the word in this manner automatically assumes accountability and responsibility.” – Bell Hooks My quest for love happens daily on both a personal and professional level. I seek to understand its meaning conceptually, and I’m constantly learning how to actualize it in my interpersonal relationships. Love has been an ongoing inquiry for me because like you, I need love like I need air and water. While I know I can “survive” without love, research in Neuroscience has taught me […]

Unless you are in a merged relationship with your partner where you see everything as if you were one person, you are going to have differences of thoughts, feelings and values that may generate some heat between you and your partner. This is actually […]

12 Reasons Your Relationship Is In Trouble And honest ways to get to the root of the problem—and then back on track—together
What’s Really Going On? We’re just going to come out and say it: Wanting to throttle your husband from time to time is perfectly normal. But if you’re constantly coming up against the same relationship problem—and experts say most couples do—then you’ll have to get to the root of the conflict if you want to move forward as a happier, healthier, more-connected couple. No partnership is impervious to these patterns, but they can corrode perfectly loving bonds over time, especially if you think your conflict is really about chores, or hygiene, or dirty socks on the bedroom floor. It’s not. […]

Are You Giving Or Shoving Love?
Love is a two way street. It is meant to be given, and received. How you give love is probably very much connected to how you long to receive it, but the exchange is not always so linear. Everyone defines and receives love differently. You might receive love in the form of gifts, in the written word, or through sex. Or you may be someone who receives love in the form of being supported, complemented or taken care of financially. As a giver of love you may assume that doing your partners laundry, providing financially or taking out the trash […]
