The purpose of my blog on love and relationships? Well, my life as a spectator is constantly throwing me a vast array of love topics which propel me, often with great speed to my laptop. I love to write, offering up my perspective in a “me, you” discussion and then I like to offer advice as an “experiencer” first, then an educator, on what maybe happening. It’s then up to you and your innate wisdom to take from it what feels right. Would you do anything for love? And when you find love with another is it enough to have a long lasting and happy relationship?

Since you are a girl, trying to get your guy back can be really difficult.

Maybe, you've heard of the no contact rule before, which is a major method on how to get a guy back after a
The other day a friend tripped over her own feet, and I overheard her say to herself, “You are such a klutz.” A harmless putdown, perhaps, but with enough negative talking to yourself, you could create an unhealthy environment that works against you. This is an example of stinkin’ thinkin’—irrational thoughts that, in the aggregate, aren’t good for you. And the truth is, my friend usually navigates quite well, and is sometimes even graceful. So one incident does not mean she’s a klutz. Her comment to herself was indeed irrational.
Reconciliation of a past relationship is all about using the right attitude towards yourself and your ex lover. There is no need to send him or her gifts or notes just to let them know how you still feel for them. It is just about stopping your behavior that drives your ex away and focusing on your personality or physical attributes which he or she find attractive. The most common mistake of some people is they use the wrong approach to getting the ex back. They tend to be to
Do you love someone for whom you can do anything? Are you finding difficulty in impressing a girl? Are you shy to propose her? Don’t worry! It is the most common problems in young boys and girls. Men usually say that it is hard to impress a girl in case she is not like an open book. You are in a dilemma about the likes and dislikes of the girl you want to purpose.

It could be possibly the biggest question in the history of dating. As a smart, successful and independent woman, how do we better understand men? Sometimes it doesn’t matter how many classes we take or issues of Cosmo we read; it really is like they’re from another planet altogether! (They did say they were from Mars, right?) But here’s the truth: It really is much simpler than you think. If you’re dating, want to start dating, in a relationship or just getting out of one and you want to know how to understand men, we come bearing the gift of knowledge and ease!r
Sometimes, as you wonder about your relationship with your partner, you might wonder how it goes with others’ relationships: Are your issues similar to theirs? How do others combat, struggle with and solve their problems? How happy others are? How often do they make love – and whether whatever you are going through with your own partner is “normal”, is “o.k.”, and acceptable.
Couples who have been together for a while often experience a decline in their sexual relationship.

If you really would like to experience renewed passion and intimacy in your relationship, here are some things you can do that can make a big difference.
Inspired by having coffee at the beach with my beloved’s sister today I felt urged to share my thoughts on where I feel “we are at” in life, the Universe, the here and now, or whatever you choose to call it, in terms of our relationships. This mini blog is an instigator and prodder of inner and outer movement. Don’t continue to read if you are feeling sensitive! Let me start by asking a few questions about your relationship right now. Feel the answers that come and don’t rationalise them away because that’s all blah blah! Let your intuition (gut) guide your immediate answer.
Everyone in the entire universe (with perhaps the exception of Mother Theresa and her other nun sisters) has been through a breakup. And no matter whether it’s the first time or the hundredth, you probably feel like you’ll never get over your ex boyfriend. It sucks. It hurts. And sometimes, it hurts A LOT. But as much as it might feel like you’ve reached the bottom and it can’t get any worse than how you feel right now, the good news is this: there is an opportunity to explore being the happiest when you’re at your lowest, because it can literally only go up from there.
Communication is key to repairing relationships. Listening fully to the other person is the most important part of communication -- really listening, without the internal dialogue or ideas of what you’ll say next in your head. In therapy with families and couples, I often ask one person to sit back and listen like a good friend while I interview the other. I ask the listening person to be curious –- not assume they know what the other will say -- and assure them that they’ll
In any relationship there are going to be disagreements and arguments. But there are some people who argue all the time. Do you live with someone who likes drama? Are you a person who likes to keep something going? Do you find yourself fighting before you know it? Has arguing become a habit or a part of who you are? In Proverbs it says that it is better to live on the corner of the housetop than inside a wide house with a brawling woman. It says it is better to dwell in the
My husband Tom and I have been getting high on some really potent stuff and I want to share some with you. The great thing about it is it's free, readily available and has no bad side effects. What is this great stuff? It's laughter. We laugh on purpose like crazy and before we know it we're loaded...with endorphins. Endorphins are natural pain and stress relievers that create a feeling of well-being and even euphoria. It works whether the laugh is real or simulated. Want to

âOh, good Lord! That cannot possibly be the man I am meeting tonight,â I exclaimed out loud to no one in particular. âExcuse me,â I said to the waiter passing by, ââIs that portly man, and I am being kind, mind you, waiting for anyone in particular?â Before the waiter could answer, the man in question turned towards me with a wide smile, âHello Sadie, I am so glad to see you!â âAre you Dave?â I asked incredulously. âYes, I am,â he answered with a smi

Poverty is the principal cause of hunger in Australia and the level of poverty is unacceptable. The wealth gap between the rich and poor in Australia has grown over the past decade. Despite more than a decade of continual economic growth, this prosperity has left many in middle Australia standing still and many of the poorest worse off. In recent times, the Government has even pushed through legislation which is directly contributing to higher poverty by reducing the incomes of many sole parents and people with disabilities. What are the primary factors that may lead to povertyr

After going through a very challenging relationship, I was looking for a new plug of energy to instill in my life. I found a course where I liked the conversation, I liked the fact that they were working on belief systems and moving through financial blocks and things like that.

It is customary these days for partners to institute a prenuptial agreement or, while dating, a “relationship agreement” - mutually agreeing on the “relationships terms and conditions”: for example, whether the partners commit to meet once or twice a week; whether they commit to spend a night or two together; and so on and so forth.
When individuals discuss or analyze religion, a single common, but unfortunate word people bring up is often,âcultâ. When folks do not like religious or spiritual groups, itâs not uncommon to use the word âcultâ, without comprehension the difference cults and legitimate organized religions. The reasons for this are clear when you come to fully grasp the contrasts between the two. In the eyes of Christian Protestant fundamentalists, if you are not following the conce

Once upon a time there was a man called George. George liked to please others and so he said yes every time he was asked for help or money. He said yes whenever someone wanted to borrow his car, even if it meant he had to walk to work. George said yes to fast-food super-sizing, to overtime, to babysitting for friends, to abuse from his wife and to a demotion at work. He said yes to chemotherapy when he got stomach cancer and he said yes to some experimental new drugs. The only time George ever said no was when the nurse in palliative care asked him if he’d enjoyed his life.
