The Art of Play
Do you remember what it was like to play as a child? A time when you had no worries and completely enjoyed the now? Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and for a moment remember one of your best childhood experiences and try to relive it. Remember what you were doing, the sounds, the people (if any), and the smells. For many, those memories bring about feelings of joy and nostalgia.

Shift Your Relationship Through Forgiveness
Breaking down the prison and letting the inmate free is one of the best things you can do to truly free yourself and create the life that you want or the relationship that you desire. You may say, “I am not holding any one in a prison,” but in reality everyone creates a prison—and the inmate you are trying to set free is yourself. This prison is created by not forgiving. In fact, many times unforgiveness is the biggest piece of baggage that you can carry.

Enlightened Relationships: Quality vs. Safe Problems
Let’s face it, no relationship is perfect, and there’s always room for improvement. The relationship that stops growing, evolving, and developing will suffer the consequences: problems. It is important to realize that relationships are a partnership, a team, and cannot be dependent (long term) on one person evolving and improving while dragging the other person through life. In other words, you are either growing together or apart. The first thing you need to do is be real and genuine about where your relationship is at because one of the biggest causes of relationship problems is distance.r

The Faith to Change
We were not born knowing how to walk, tie our shoes, use words to communicate with others, or ride a bike, yet we probably are good at doing these things today. As a child, we had to learn and change in order to acquire these skills, yet somehow as adults we tend to resist learning new things or changing. So what is the difference between embracing those major changes in our early lives and opening to change today?

St. Valentine's and the Languages of Love
We all have a past, and some would say we all carry baggage. We are quick to think of ways to get rid of the baggage that we perceive as holding us back. However, what if we have gotten it all wrong? What if we are trying to get rid of our road map for life? It’s like asking a boat captain to get rid of the sail on his boat in order to lighten the load. Many people get caught up in this cycle of finding ways to improve their life by repressing or replacing the past. However, the only thing that they are doing is chasing a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.

10 Steps to a New You in the New Year
Welcome to 2013… Can we all let out a sigh of relief? Relief because the belief that the world was going to end in December 2012 has finally been released, and we can start looking at this new age for what it is. It is a new chapter and a new beginning. However, this beginning is not really new, it’s just gaining more traction. Conscious minds have been coming together for years now, and as the momentum grows we continue to impact the whole as well as other individuals looking for their inner truth. The new age and the New Year are opportunities to redefine your relationship with you.

Dear Dad
Dear Dad: Bendicion! I have heard that we all have guardian angels that bless our lives and watch over us. However, I feel fortunate that my angel has been with me in a physical reality, since my guardian angel has been you. I feel extremely grateful and blessed to have you in my life. You are not only my father, you are a soul companion. There are no words or actions that can express to you how much of an impact you have made on who I am today. I remember as a child how much I wanted to be like you—putting on your clothes even though they were several times my size.

Do Opposites Really Attract?
Jake is an atheist; Stacy is a devout Christian. Bill loves to spend; Cristy loves to save. Victor loves a vacation out in the woods, camping in a tent; Amy prefers a nice condo on the beach. Steve gets up at 6:00 am in the morning; Megan believes the day should start around 10 am. The list of differences in relationships can go on and on. The questions are: Do they make the relationship better or worse? Do opposites attract? And if they do, will their relationships work long term?
