Women, be the person that you are in dating and relationships. Don’t be like someone you are not. Don’t change for the sake of a man.

Growing up they admired singers and actresses just as we admired ball players and musicians.

• LoveNote. . . If we really want to love, we must learn how to forgive. - Mother Theresa Forgiveness works! It is often difficult, AND it works! We often think of forgiveness as something that someone who has done us wrong must ask of US. There is always another way of looking at something. My thoughts on forgiveness suggest that you focus on offering forgiveness TO the person who has wronged you. To not forgive them is like taking the poison (continuing to suffer for what they did or didn't do to you) and expecting THEM to die!

For example when you send an SMS text message you may want to highlight an important piece by following up with ‘lol’ - loads of laughter or smiley i

Are you aware of needing to talk too much, or have you been with people who go on and on? There is a good reason for this. I have found over the years of practicing Inner Bonding that the more I listen to myself, the less need I have for others to listen to me and hear me. Not that I don't enjoy sharing with others, but there is a big difference between sharing and the over-talking that comes from not listening to yourself.

A friend always takes herself out to lunch on her birthday. By herself. She’s been doing this since she was a young girl. It’s a good time to contemplate what you want for yourself in the year ahead. But a good life is not always about what you acquire. It can also be about what you shed. You might want to think about what you don’t want—what you want to let go of so you can live a happier life.

Then - 12/10/2003 “Last night when ‘Carl’ got home from his meeting and was in ‘Dan’s’ room saying good night, I thought I smelled liquor on him. I told him and he rolled his eyes and got huffy. It still bothered me so before he could go downstairs I asked him if I could smell his breath. He went ballistic. He yelled ‘This is ridiculous. You’re not smelling my breath over and over!’ I told him to stop yelling and that I had every right to smell him. When he finally relented, the thing that I smelled the most was cigarettes so I couldn’t even tell if he had been drinking.

Dear Dr. Romance: Your article on "Fair Fight Guidelines" is wonderful!!! My major issue is that I cry upon a disagreement. This prevents me to think clearly, act maturely and interact directly. Would you please address this issue? Dear Reader:

"The shadow, which is in conflict with the acknowledged values, cannot be accepted as a negative part of one's own psyche and is therefore projected--that is, it is transferred to the outside world and experienced as an outside object. It is combated, punished, and exterminated as 'the alien out there' instead of being dealt with as one's own inner problem" —Erich Neumann (psychologist), Depth Psychology and a New Ethic

Have you wondered why you may be having a hard time connecting with others? "Intimacy begins with oneself. It does no good to try to find intimacy with friends, lovers, and family if you are starting out from alienation and division within yourself." - Thomas Moore

Sticks and stones may break my bones, But names can never hurt me.

As much as we know about modern medicine and the way the human body works, there is still a lot that science cannot explain. Patients on their death bed have been known to “will themselves to live” and be up gardening by the end of the week. Patients with serious, debilitating diseases have, without treatment of any kind, healed themselves. There are skeptics in the medical community as well as scientists who actively embrace the role that our minds and our will play in healing. Ultimately, however, it's up to you to decide what you believe.

Some of the habits are positive, such as the habits of being on time, being organized and being honest. But some habits can cause us many problems, both with ourselves and with others.

Do you need more intimacy in your relationship? This may be a hard question to answer. You may be experiencing “physical intimacy” with a man but you can mistake that for being truly intimate. But there comes a time after you’ve been dating a while when you have to ask yourself — am I feeling emotionally close to him? You might care for your man deeply but struggle with the fact you can’t get him to open up to you beyond having somewhat superficial conversations. You try to tell him more of what you’re thinking and feeling but find that he’s not reciprocating.

As a professor, it is rewarding when a former student seeks my advice long after they have graduated. True respect is earned, not demanded. Leaders that rely on formal authoritative structures for compliance do not connect with the hearts of their subordinates. They may temporarily have the individual's submission to fulfill the tasks at hand, but the respect that comes from willing cooperation is lacking. "You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in ot

In a relationship-personal and also professional-compatibility is a must. Personal associations particularly, expect compatibility in its most complicated levels.
