Don’t lose yourself in the armor …
You are love. And NOTHING can change love–not your doubts, regrets, or mistakes, or somebody else’s judgment. Nothing can alter love. Love is love.
Your only job is to align with your true self. And it’s so important that you have a lifetime to do it.

Do you have the BASIS for a relationship?
Five areas of intimacy work together to determine how compatible you are with a partner and what “BASIS” you have for a satisfying relationship:
