‘Be impeccable with your word’ is one of the chapters in The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. (If you haven’t read his book, it’s a classic and must read!) But what does this really mean? It means when you say you are going to do something, you do it…no matter what. When you make […]
What’s Love Got to do with it?
Watch any movie, read any book or listen to any song and chances are there’s a love story somewhere embedded in it. Love is everywhere. But so many of us don’t even know what it is and/or what to do with it when we feel it. But this article actually isn’t focused on love, instead […]
Letting Go
Imagine you are on a roller coaster and have your arms up straight in the air. How does it feel to let go? For many people, exhilarating and exciting is what comes to mind. For others, frightening, even terrifying is what they would feel. There are so many things in life over which we have […]
Sleeping alone…
Do you sleep alone? Whether or not you are married, single, divorced, or in a committed relationship, people still choose to sleep alone at times. Some people choose to share a marital (or couples) bed every night no matter how interrupted their sleep may be, while others attempt to share a bed. Oftentimes I hear […]

How Can I Help? A Powerful Question
Oftentimes couples get into heated fights assuming they know what their partner needs. Just because you have been in a long-term relationship, and you know your significant other very well…you don’t know them better than they know themselves! “I know exactly what you’re thinking.” A client said in my office to her husband. Even if […]

WHAT’S IN YOUR TOOLBOX?
You may not think you need a toolbox filled with tools to help your relationship, but if you had one, imagine how amazing your relationship would be! In other words, when something breaks in your home, if you didn’t have a toolbox to go to, what would you do? How would things get fixed? Or, would […]
Phones-A Blessing or a Curse?
You probably have your phone near you right now. Is it in your hand as you read this? Is it on the table next to you or on the seat in the car while you drive? We have all become so ‘close’ with our phones. This ‘relationship’ can be a very intimate one where you may bring your phone into […]
