Is Anyone Out There Alive? Tips for Creating a Positive Relationship

One of the things that I think most people lack in their lives, and certainly in their relationships, is aliveness. What is aliveness? Well, it is finding excitement and enjoyment in everything you do. It’s that blood-pumping, exhilaration, challenge, joy, stimulation, and pleasure that makes life worth living!

I practiced my Leaning Back tools and graciously thanked each and every one with eye contact, a smile and a genuine "thank you" as I hustled and bustled my way through with loads of bags on both arms.

Not a great strategy if you want a great relationship. So, get a piece of paper and write these things down: 1) First, what do you want? (spell it out) 2) What are you willing to do about it?

She also spoke up loudly if anyone said anything against one of these minorities. She often coached me, “Joyce, remember every person is a child of God.
