Do it together!
Are you and your partner in sync? Do you work, eat and sleep at the same times?
You might look at celebrities and long-distance partners and wonder how they do it, but maybe you could just as viably wonder how you do it. That is, if you were objective.
If you were a therapist on the wall in your kitchen, living room and bedroom, what in the world would you be thinking?
You’ve seen the ongoing analysis of famous couples walking down the sidewalk. How he holds her hand, how she holds her purse, everything means something. And nobody’s in a better position than you are to know what your behavior means.
How often do you actually walk down the sidewalk together? How often are you in the same room together? How often do you look into each other’s eyes? Touch each other? Compliment each other? Nag each other?
If your initial observations (as an objective party on the wall) raise concern, start making changes — simple changes that seem like no-brainers from a distance.
Schedule dinner at the same time every night. It doesn’t matter how often you actually eat at 7, what matters is that you have a date — to keep or reschedule!… More

Doing what you truly want is the ticket …
Do what you truly want to do. No tit for tat or trying to do what you THINK will please somebody else. Do what you would have done anyway, and you can be happy, regardless of the outcome!
The more honest you can be, the more fearless, happy, and successful you can be.

Are you pre-occupied with passion?
We can lack the presence of mind to get to know somebody when we’re caught in the throes of passion!

Now that I have indulged in sex, though, it’s more difficult to forego; and it can be easy to get “involved.”
Most of us aren’t really interested in sex without intimacy; but at the same time, we’re not terribly interested in intimacy without the possibility of passionate sex. So, we’re drawn to passion, but have a tough time holding it off long enough to determine the potential for intimacy!
Still, I think there’s a case to be made for the stand-alone date or the stand-alone kiss. A kiss doesn’t have to lead to something. It doesn’t have to be part of an agenda or a serious notion to pursue a relationship. It can be enjoyed for its own sake.
Sometimes — given half a chance — passion will dissipate in the face of differences revealed with just one more date.… More
Boundless …
As I shifted into high gear yesterday, it dawned on me that we have gears we don’t even know about yet! I know that’s not a new thought, but I felt it on a new level. I was so invigorated by the thought–and the reality– that I was squealing like a little girl.
Feel the power of that. The joy, the sheer delight. The potential. The infinite possibilities. Love is boundless.… More
