Love Guru: What to Do?
Yogi Berra said, when you come to a fork in the road, take it. Well, if you have no clue what to do that is good advice, but no better than “flip a coin”. Now, spiritually we can say there are no mistakes in our choices; that mistakes are to teach us what we do...
Showmances: The Therapy Cure
Openly admitting you’re in therapy is as trendy as wedge sneakers or singing talent competitions on TV; there’s no longer a stigma but a salute that accompanies this type of self-disclosure. Yet many celebrity couples view therapy as commonplace as going to the dentist or paying their phone bill. Bethenny Frankel, founder of the SkinnyGirl...
Love Guru: Narcissism or Not
We are talking about boundaries, and this week brings them into sharp focus. Where and on whom we place our attention will have a big impact on the value, growth and expansion we gain in the coming months. This is brought into sharp focus with the Leo Full Moon this week, but is a perennial...
Love Guru: Breaking Out
It is so easy, too easy, to just cruise along on autopilot, getting into habits, patterns, grooves and sleepwalking by the numbers. That guarantees boredom, in your relationships, your bedroom, your work… your life! Every now and then, the Universe says it is time for change and sometimes that change comes fairly easily, and as...
CandiDates: False Fantasies
Now that the pain of last weekend’s loss has subsided (somewhat), I can address this next topic. Fantasy sports. What is it with guys (and some girls) and these leagues – is it that whole theory of “if you can’t play, fantasize”? Don’t get me wrong, I am not your typical girlie girl. In fact,...
Showmances: Mr. Wrong
Self magazine recently revealed an interesting stat in their Health section. Women who have doubts about marrying their boyfriends (i.e. cold feet) are two and a half times more likely to divorce within the first four years of marriage than those without any hesistation. This stat begs the question: How many women get ready to...
Hump Days: When Love Comes Down To Black & White
Since Martin Luther King’s birthday was this week, I decided this was the perfect time to address interracial dating. A few weeks ago I watched the documentary film Freedom Riders. It is the story of hundreds of civil rights activists who in 1961 brought national attention to the issue of racial segregation in America’s interstate...
Love Guru: Fulfilling Desires
The most common thing parents say to their kids is: “No”. No surprise there. I think it would have been far more interesting if, unless there were good and REAL reasons not to, to say “Yes” to almost everything as we grew up. “Sure, eat the bug. Eat the worm.” Let the children find out...
Word(s) of Wisdom: How do I get my boyfriend to help more around the house?
Q: How do I get my boyfriend to help more around the house? – Anonymous He Says: A quality boyfriend will chip in on chores whether or not he’s chipping in on rent, but I’m gonna assume said dude is the live-in variety—as the question implies it’s his duty. Either way, my answer is...
Showmances: On-Again, Off-Again
All romances (unless you’re watching Disney or reading Hans Christian Andersen) have rocky patches. Even the greatest love stories are bound to hit the skids now and then. But in healthy relationships, these moments of discord induce discourse, followed by healing communication and compromise. Then, there are unhealthy relationships. The moments when disagreement turns into...
Showmances: PBS (or Perma-Bachelor Syndrome)
The holidays are a time to assess your relationship and evaluate whether or not you can see yourself progressing with the person with whom you’ve been sharing dish duty, bathroom counter space and a Netflix subscription (how did Zombie Strippers get on your ‘recommended list?’) . Then, there are those relationships that are not in limbo...
Hump Days: Didn’t Get What You Wanted For Christmas?
The holidays can be a challenging time of year. When I was married, I loved Christmas, and threw myself into the busyness and the festivities of the season wholeheartedly. Baking a thousand cookies and delivering them around town, spending three days decorating a 10 foot tree, throwing a party for 75 people, shopping to the...
