Where are you headed … in your relationship?
If you don’t want to go out, you can stay home; but if you don’t want to go anyplace in your relationship, you can’t just stay put. You will move to a lower place, a hell of sorts.
Life doesn’t stand still; it either grows or dies. The same is true for your relationship. If you are not moving closer as partners, you are moving apart. There is no pause button.

That thought was enough to make you feel despondent. In that moment, you wanted to escape the emotional pain more than you wanted to take care of your body … and binging on chocolate when you were already beating yourself up for being so fat that he cheated on you was enough to condemn your sinful soul. All this because he’s still learning to make a distinction between a biological urge and love … and you thought it was a negative reflection on you?
Our health starts with our thinking.
I’m not going to suggest that you try to think positive thoughts all the time. Start by being aware of what you think and what it does to you. Then, write about it.… More
Consciously practicing love in conversation …
When you start to feel “right” in conversation, stop and take a breath. Then tread softly with a question, instead of a judgment.
Hey, life just feels better when you’re nice! … More
How real are you?
Today … may we trust love, God, the universe enough to simply be real. May we be present enough with who we are to revel in our majesty.
And may we share it with neither pride nor shame. … More
You … Love
