Elsa, Avoiding A Knock-Down Drag-Out Fight!
April 6, 2013 by
Venus conjuncts Mars in Aries today. Couples who are prone to fight probably will. I personally think it's okay to clear the decks now and then, but I know others don't agree. I will say this is not the best time for a knock-down drag-out fight. The Moon is in Pisces conjunct Neptune and Chiron and people are sensitive! Consequently, tactics (Aries) to avoid (Pisces) conflict make sense. The easiest way to do this is to join forces with your partner against a common enemy, even if … [Read more...]

Does Forgiveness Really Matter?
March 22, 2013 by
Yes, forgiveness matters. For love to be sustained over a lifetime, we must be able to forgive. Inevitably in any relationship, there will be times where your partner will say or do something hurtful. Feelings of pain, sadness, anger, rejection and betrayal may arise. It’s common to feel overwhelmed by our responses and replay the incident over and over in our minds. The feelings intensify. The longer the situation goes unresolved the deeper the pain will be; and the more … [Read more...]
THOUGHTS BECOME ACTIONS …. Where Do I Begin?
March 17, 2013 by
Quite often, our experience of stress comes from our perception of the situation. Often that perception is right, but sometimes it's not. For instance, sometimes we're unreasonably harsh with ourselves or instinctively jump to wrong conclusions about people's motives. This can send us into a downward spiral of unhappiness and negative thinking, and can cause us to be unfair or aggressive with others. Thought Awareness, Rational Thinking, and Positive Thinking are simple … [Read more...]
Happiness is to be achieved, not gifted from the Gods!
March 14, 2013 by
So is unhappiness and sadness and any other emotion you choose to feel. No one is happy all of the time. However, those people who are happy most of the time know that happiness should be a natural state. Be responsible for your own happiness. No other person can make you happy. He can't. She can't. It's something you have to do on your own. If you feel it's your partner's fault, think again, and look within to find out what piece may be missing for you. Being happy doesn’t mean that … [Read more...]

Re-imagine, Re-design and Re-launch Your Relationship! After years of being together sometimes you drift away from the feelings you once had when you were first together.

My dog, Lila, has a dramatic Leo Moon. She's an eternal child with golden hair. She's best friends with the big, black, muscular, Boxer girl dog who lives next door.
