Honesty and Vulnerability the Key to Intimacy

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. You cannot be totally, and genuinely truthful with another, without opening up fully to them.[...]

Looking For Love In All The Wrong Places

We are conceived through a connection, of the deepest kind, between a man and a woman, and from the moment that we are conceived, we are connected to our Mother in her womb. 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.[...]

"Puppet On A String" Who Is Controlling Your Strings?

I was raised in a family of givers, and caretakers, and the old fashion way, where the women wait on the men, and take care of the home, but in the world of relationships, that tenancy and upbringing, if taken too far, can get me into a whole lot of trouble with men, and ultimately be the downfall of any relationship. There is a fine line between caring for someone and allowing yourself to be a “puppet on a string”. When you spend all of your time trying to please another person, at your own expense; they will see you as weak, possessive and clingy.[...]

Have You Seen My Rose Colored Glasses?"

I was reading an article by Zara Stevens, and it hit on something that has been on my mind a lot these past few years. "You no longer make me happy anymore." I heard this statement a lot at the end of my last relationship; that had started out with the most profound happiness that I could ever imagine. Both of us were filled with dreams that we were working to create together, along with supporting each other's individual dreams. But then there came that "crack", as Zara put it. I think that so many times part of the problem lies in the fact; that we meet someone, and they begin to bring so very much happiness into our lives, that each of you creates this perfect picture in your mind, about what a wonderful,[...]

TGIF - The Five Best Love and Relationships Articles From Around the Web - #2

I decided to attempt a new Friday ritual, and pick my favorite five articles on love and relationships I read around the Web for that week. So here goes:

Over at How To Tell If A Guy Is A Jerk – “In Honor of All the Great Men” - most all of the relationship blogs spend most of their time telling you which men to stay away from, and it is refreshing for someone to take the time out and honor the good ones.

Looking for some controversy? Honey over and Honey and Lance poses the question as to whether stay at home moms are prostituting. “Are Stay at Home Moms Really Prostitutes?” -

Steve Pavlina’s Personal Development Blog – “Leveling Up” - “Don’t deny the value of your own “suck period”. When you look at any part of your life with disdain, you deny that you’re the artist who created it. Maybe it’s your early work, and it’s not much to look at, but you can’t progress by denying that it’s yours.” You do not want to miss this excellent article, that explains very well that we have created whatever reality we are experiencing at the moment, and for a reason. It reminds us, we are right where we should be at any given moment, for whatever experience or lesson we were meant to have.

The Daily Coyote - it is not a relationship site, but I just love going and checking out the photos of the coyote that was orphaned at birth.

The Quest for T – "I Am That" - has an exercise that we should all do. An eye opener.

Enjoy the exploration.

Anonymoussaid...: Thank you for reminding me something so important that we need to forgive ourselves sometimes. Indeed, we cannot possibly forgive others if we can't forgive ourselves.; March 24, 2009 at 9:29 AM
