One of the main factors of having and keeping a good relationship is being able to trust, and have good communication. In order for others to trust us, we have to be able to become vulnerable, and show our vulnerability. Honesty and vulnerability go hand in hand.

When that physical connection we began with is separated at birth, we spend our lives desiring to be connected again. How we go about, and how well we succeed, at re-creating that connection…becomes the story of our lives.[...]

Hi, I'm VERY new to blogging...my dear friend wanted me to try it out as I have hit quite a few rough patches relationship wise as well as trusting my instincts in the past year. While blogging I came across yours...and I wanted to say Thank-you...I enjoy reading all the little bits and pieces you have put together. I find comfort on most days after reading an article or two.
