By sharpening our intuitive skills, we can teach ourselves to spot the … [Read more...]

November 5, 2010 by
The Story of Rose We send these words in loving memory of Rose. The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being. She said, "Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I'm eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?" I laughed and enthusiastically … [Read more...]

October 28, 2010 by
The 7 Lies We Tell Ourselves By E. J. Leech Humans are great liars, telling an average of 1,000 lies per year to others – but the number of lies we tell ourselves is much higher.

While some people think that this reaction is quite innocent, the seven lies I’m about to introduce you to can actually be quite harmful. Lie #1: I must have the … [Read more...]
What part of ‘NO’ don’t You understand?
October 16, 2010 by
It is Okay to Say, "No!" Saturday, October 16, 2010 at 7:00 am | | URL: www.celebratelove.com It is not okay to say, "Yes," when your heart tells you to say otherwise. Sure it's easier to say yes, but at what price to your peace of mind? Always saying yes isn't healthy. It is not possible to fulfill every request made of you. Compulsively saying yes is potentially self-destructive; it is behavior that signals co-dependency. To let go of feeling guilty when you say, "No," is a new … [Read more...]

7 Habits of Happy Couples By E. J. Leech We’ve all seen those annoying couples walking hand in hand, gazing into each other’s eyes, feeding chocolate Danish chunks into each other’s mouths as they snicker with childish glee. Sickening? Perhaps. But what if they actually know something we don’t? One of the most important things I have learned while researching the idea of the “happy couple” is that sometimes you have to open yourself up to the idea that good relationships are not handed over on … [Read more...]

5 Signs He’s Not the One By Liz Campanille It’s a tough realization, gals, when the man you thought was the One turns out to be a zero. I’ve been there, and completely understand how difficult it can be. As a former dating veteran, I want to give you the insight you need to move on if you’re with the guy who’s not the “One.” The first question I’d ask was, “What constitutes a deal breaker?” That’s always going to be a personal preference, but some signs can’t be ignored.

California Psychics – ‘Healing Your Past’
September 29, 2010 by
Healing Your Past By Phoenix AdoniIn November 1843, Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote: “Be not a slave to your past.” We all have past history. Some wonderful, beautiful memories and others, traumatic and painful which we carry into every moment, interaction and relationship, tainting our perceptions and clinging to it because we feel it defines us. But when healing our past our true selves emerge: an enlightened being of love and co-creator of the Universe, for ourselves and all sentient … [Read more...]

The blond was trying to be friendly, so she smiled her biggest smile and said as sweetly as possibly "T-G-I-F" another time. The man … [Read more...]
