The Relationship Is Dead. Stop Kissing It.

I should take my own advice. Seldom do we do that though. Years ago, a guy I knew bemoaned about an ex who was still his ex. The situation was complicated, although in retrospect it reminds me of a former relationship I was in. I forgot about that at the time when my words to him lacked a bit of grace. As he bemoaned missing her and wanting her and trying to make it work again even though it was MORE than obvious to EVERYONE else that it would NEVER work, I just couldn’t take it anymore.

How To Turn A Relationship “Mistake” Into A Strength

As Joko Beck, an American Buddhist nun, writes in Everyday Zen:

So a relationship is a great gift, not because it makes us happy—it often doesn’t—but because any intimate relationship, if we view it as practice, is the clearest mirror we can find.

Super-Size Your Swoon

Another Valentine’s Day has come and gone. Did it live up to your expectations? I am not going to hate on the day of love. I celebrate any day that gives us permission to super-size our swoon and get extra-cheesy, bathing the ones we love, or even kinda like, in our special sweet sauce of love. (Did I take the fast food theme too far?) However, the day is rife with expectation. Whether you’re in a relationship or not, if you aren’t totally in alignment in the love department, Valentine’s Day is a reminder of how out-of-sync things really are. If you are pining for more connection, or for the love of your life to finally walk through your door, the way to get what you want is simple. Create an internal environment of love.

Do You Know What I Mean?

There is a head space I think we strive for. It’s a chance to get the hamster off the wheel or the monkeys out of the trees. To just shut it off and listen to the quiet. The unquiet mind is exhausting.

Are You Blocking Love? 3 Ways To Increase Your Love Quotient & Receive More Love

When I first met my now husband Noah, who I affectionately refer to as “Walking Love” for his great ability to give love fully and freely, my love quotient - my capacity for receiving love - was the size of a pea. Which meant that although I had finally manifested a man into my life that could offer the love that I had yearned for in other relationships, I was unable to let all the love in. At times, he and his love were so much to take in, that my stunted capacity to receive love would become completely overloaded.

It’s Okay To Make Mistakes

I was scheduled to fly to Dublin, Ireland a few weeks ago for a speaking engagement and when I got to the airport I realized I’d forgotten my passport at home.  I felt mortified and embarrassed – and then angry when I realized I wouldn’t be able to get on my flight.  After a few hours of stress and drama, I was able to get myself on another flight, which would get me to Ireland on time for my event – although it did cost me quite a bit of money and forced my wife Michelle to have to drop what she was doing and rush to the airport with my passport.

7 Tiny Big Life Shifters

 

This past summer was about deeper healing for me. Bod’, psyche, bank account, relationships… relating… creating. Change can be radical but the steps to healing are usually small >> sequential >> interconnected.

Un-friend Your Ex

My friend called me today. He said “I was creeping your facebook page and I saw on there that you are still friends with you-know-who. Why the hell is that?”

“Because” I say casually, (a dark cloud of defensiveness and shadow rolls over me) “I blocked him, so I don’t get his updates but its kinda’ dramatic to kill him off completely so, I’m just casual about it I guess.”
