ARTArticleOuch! My Mate Touched a Nerve...If you're in a close relationship, sometimes your partner is likely to say something that jars you. Maybe you feel tightness in your throat, chest or elsewhere, You might forget to breather. Do you change the subject? Call her or him selfish, unreasonable, or inconsiderate? Or withdraw?

If I had to pick one thing that I see parents not instilling in their kids these days, it would be this. Being accountable is so much more then just taking responsibility. It shapes the adult you become. Is your child going to be the adult who does the right thing even when it’s uncomfortable? This doesn’t always come naturally.

In my opinion praising your child has little to do with a sense of entitlement. Always giving into them, giving them what they want and never disagreeing with them, leads to a sense of entitlement. For many parents or caregivers they feel the guilt of not being there for their kids due to having to work and spend many hours usually outside of the home. For others it’s the need to be their children/s best friend, those afraid that their children may not like them, or others who feel the need to keep up with the Jones’s.ARTArticleRecipe for LoveJust a few simple ingredients, put together in a specific combination . . .

You may feel safer by seething silently when irked by a potential or actual marriage partner's behavior. But sometimes speaking up, with kindness and respect, at a time when both of you are calm, is the best thing to do. Keeping a grievance inside can result in distancing behaviors and grudge holding.

Help is here!When we are experiencing or recovering from divorce after 50, remembering to find joy in everyday things can be difficult. One of the reasons that, despite our best efforts, we can find it almost impossible to move on is when we are prisoner to one of the ugliest feelings of all. Being bitter and resentful. Resentment is nasty. Unlike feelings of guilt and shame, what makes resentment so ugly is that it has a tendency to turn you, an otherwise kind and reasonable person, into someone who is so angry at their own life situation that it is impossible to recover.ARTArticleStart Great Conversations with Your KidsI have to admit having one child of each gender has really made me more aware of the male/ female differences. One huge difference I've found is the way they communicate and their interpretation of words. When I think about when my kids were younger and I picked them up from school, the differences were so noticeable. My son gave me one word answers about how his day was, while my daughter gave me a play by play. To this day I communicate differently with both my kids. They are both aware that they can come talk to me any time, any topic, or concern, they know I will always have their back.ARTArticleSUPPORT GROUP - HOW TO DEAL WITH NARCISSISTS, MANIPULATORS, LOW EMPATHY RELATIONSHIPS*****If you believe you are dealing with a toxic relationship in your life (manipulator, narcissistic, low empathy) our empowerment & support group may be of help.

The concepts and ideas that are innate in most women are usually difficult concepts for most men to grasp. By the same token, things that are obvious to men are not easily understood by the majority of women. Because of the different communication styles between men and women, it can be difficult for men and women to maintain a level of understanding and effective communication.ARTArticleThe Heart of the MatterHow have you answered that most perplexing and essential question in our lives, “Who am I?” I found my answer by thinking of my heart as my essence.

Living in integrity with my true self feels great. When I stay connected to my heart in the face of difficulties, I feel like my own hero.ARTArticleThe Hidden Sources of AttractionWe are attracted to people for many different reasons, some of them conscious, some unconscious. Some of the conscious reasons have to do with how the person looks, how they act, the sound of their voice, the sensation of their touch, and other sensory cues. These are things we can identify and recognize; they are obvious and self-evident. Yet lying below the surface of our conscious awareness are subtle, less apparent factors that contribute to the degree of attractiveness we find in others.ARTArticleThe Just Love TheoryEveryone can say they’re right. Everyone can believe that they’re in the right . . . to defend their beliefs, their land, their way of life. Yet this thinking doesn’t get us far in terms of the goals of peace and joy and a more Loving world. So I want to draw attention to the fact that we can all also choose to forgive and to Love. To do our best to understand and to accept each other’s differences. This option is available to every single one of us.ARTArticleThe Quiet Killer!On the last day of school for 2015, with my daughter in grade 11, she decided for the first time to participate in the school dodge ball tou ament. So her and five of her good friends got together and created a team. My son had actually made mention of it and told her not to bother, that her team would 'get creamed' by none other than the massive grade 12s. Anyway off to school she went, ready to participate in the tou ament. A few hours later she returned home. She couldn't get in the door fast enough with a priceless smirk on her face, to share her excitement with me.ARTArticleThe Secret Sauce of Success in Love, Life & BusinessSome people will tell you there’s no such thing . . . No secret sauce even exists. And you might’ve heard that “Success leaves clues”. So, in theory, you could follow these clues to victory without much trouble . . . But if success were easy, everyone would be enjoying their ideal lives. So what’s the secret sauce? What allows a small percentage of people to excel and accomplish extraordinary things? (Nowadays, it may seem extraordinary to simply be happy!) Is there something different about these people? Do they have access to some sort of magical powers?ARTArticleThe Urban Goddess Secret - An Emotional Beauty ToolboxThis article was featured in the Huff Post: In today’s hectic world we often seem to forget the importance of taking the time to restore ourselves and the essence of who we are.

We all occasionally “get down,” “get bummed out,” or have “the blues,” but these feelings usually last a few hours or a day or two, and the individual can manage their life—eat, sleep, work, socialize, etc.r ARTArticleThis is Unbelievable!Over the summer, my daughter turned 16, legal age to get her G1 and start learning to drive. Not something I have been looking forward to as I literally just finished cleaning being a driving instructor to my son in July when he passed his driving test. My daughter asked if she could write the test after her birthday and before school started up again. Although I was hesitant only for the reaso I have just mentioned, I agreed. She read the drivers handbook and tried the online tests about 6 or 7 times, which she tells me she passed each and every time.ARTArticleThree Mistakes Parents MakeParenting is one of the most remarkable experiences one can have. No one prepares for it. The skills develop as you go along. This is because every child brings on a different experience but raising children requires the similar adopted methods. However, as parents, we sometimes make the mistakes. Here are three mistakes parents (sometimes) make: Parents do not want their child/children to see them as a failure ARTArticleTips for Creating a More Empathic RelationshipEmpathic means being able to understand and share the feelings of another. Can you talk to your loved one about your feelings, hopes, goals and dreams? Does he (or she) listen and respond empathically? If he does, wow! But if he doesn’t, don’t necessarily rule him out. Many men, and some women too, tend to jump in with a solution or a judgment when a woman wants only to be heard, because they are, um, men. Typically, the male brain is wired more for problem solving and less for communication about feelings than the female brain. EMPATHY CAN BE LEARNED ARTArticleTips to Thrive in Later-in-Life Marriage"So what's the secret for a good marriage?" asked Ellen, 72. She's been single since her early twenties, after divorcing her physically abusive ex-husband. "Choose wisely and learn what it takes to succeed in marriage," I said instinctively. Never Too Late for Love While this advice applies to people of all ages, it's helpful to recognize special challenges of later-in-life marriages so we can deal with them constructively. The three to be addressed here involve money, sex, and "unfinished business."ARTArticleTired of Being Bitter?When we are experiencing or recovering from divorce, remembering to find joy in everyday things during any season can be difficult. One of the reasons that, despite our best efforts, we can find it almost impossible to move on is when we are prisoner to one of the ugliest feelings of all. Being Bitter.
