Basically I screwed up in silly ways and hurt her. I quit for a day, but came back and after staying away for another day she added me again during that first week (she said she'll always love me.) Over the next week or so I tried to put things back together with her. I asked if she needed time and space and she said yes because she wasn't over things. We both were/are in deeply love.

The issue of commitment pops up and what was once a healthy, fun and promising union comes crashing to an abrupt halt. Many women have commitment on their minds because for us it's the ultimate goal.

The clients I saw did not seem immature or inferior. In fact, the reverse seemed to be true. They were successful by social standards: professionally, emotionally, and culturally, in marriages or out. They were frequently individuals of inner strength of character, possessed of strong coping skills and an ethical sense of individual responsibility.ARTArticleThe Oil of LifeOne day while taking a visit to the grocery store, I heard a customer in front of me say, “????? (phonetic- yo may yo yo? Pinyin- you mei you you?)” As I waited in line, I watched as the cashier understood this complex logic of using the same words of pronunciation to form a question and also to state an answer. To a foreigner this sentence seemed strange and unable to be decoded. However, when you have discovered there is a common way to decode this sentence, you can easily answer too.ARTArticleThe Pain of Letting GoEvery month, when I go to write my newsletter, I don’t have a plan necessarily…I just see what transpires in my life around that time and, without fail; there is an event or theme that presents itself.ARTArticleThe Privilege of Being a ParentLast weekend I was one of 850 people in my local community that participated in the National Walk for Kids Help Phone, celebrating this amazing organization’s 20th year and raising, within just our small group, approximately 210,000 in pledges!

This week I had the chance on a rather interesting bus ride. This time the drivers did not change in the middle of the shift, but the adventure was equally as entertaining. On my way to deal with matters I decided to ride the bus. This bus has a driver and a ticket seller that stands near the door of the bus. The ticket sellers typical routine is to announce the stop around 200 meters from the bus stop, then again 50 meters from the bus stop and then finally around 10 meters from the bus stop.ARTArticleThings I know for SureWhen I came into the world, I knew nothing, well, nothing that I could remember, that is. As you grow up, you learn many things, some you learn the hard way and others come in brief moments of blissful enlightenment. I like the later best.

For instance, I have never met anyone who is really bad.ARTArticleThinking With Our HeartWe are at a beautiful moment on this planet where a new world is being birthed based on integrity, dignity, harmony, peace and love.
