All Is Well Until You Know Differently

The first time I heard this statement was when I was newly in the post-divorce dating stage. After numerous dates and very short relationships I met someone I connected with.

Together for Their Sake

Staying together for the sake of the kids. A very emotive subject but one I feel compelled to write about. Firstly, I’m not a parent so don’t shoot me down with the “well what would she really know, she doesn’t have kids.” I hear you but I was a child with parents who existed in unhappiness together for most of their marriage and it really polluted my ability to make sound relationship choices for most of my love career. No question. My belief is that if you are parents living in an unhappy marriage, do something about it or find a way out. Please don’t let it go on for years.

The Power Within

My story is a story about becoming who we really are. It’s about breaking the shackles that bind and limit us. These are not physical shackles, although there are some in this world that have been bound in that way also. These are the shackles that have been formed by the world around us into our minds as we make out way in the world as a little child. This is not a story about blame because blame is also a shackle that holds that very feeling in our psyche, taking up space where other more beautiful thoughts and feelings can reside.

How to get Out of Emotionally Abusive Relationships - Don't Miss These Tips

Men who abuse others take care to always appear strong and in control. However, if one looks at them closely, one can see that this is a lie. They are not stronger than others; they are not in control of their lives. Sometimes men become abusive towards those they claim to love because they feel as though they have lost control over their own lives. So they seek to control those around them because this is easier to do than it is to face and fix the problems they face.

3 Reasons Why Your Boyfriend Keeps Running From Commitment

Your boyfriend keeps running from commitment. Maybe for a time you looked the other way because you thought he would eventually change.

Personal Success Tips - Don't Let Your Barometer Direct Your Compass

Huh??!! Let me explain...A barometer is used to measure atmospheric pressure. This pressure change helps weather forecasters to predict what weather conditions might be forthcoming. Barometric conditions are always changing; therefore barometric measurement is always fluctuating. A compass, on the other hand, is used to determine direction.

***The Lies We Tell Ourselves

By Dr. Margaret Paulr June 27, 2016 Our emotions are an accurate indication of when we are in truth and when we are lying to ourselves. Believe it or not, one of the great gifts we were born with is our emotions. Our emotions infallibly let us know when we are operating from the truth and when we are telling ourselves lies. When we are in truth, we feel clear, connected, happy, peaceful, powerful and joyful. When we are lying to ourselves – operating from our false beliefs - we feel anxious, tense, depressed, scared, powerless, angry, empty, hopeless, alone and abandoned.
