Actually, being healthy in every way: physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and financially wasn’t on my wish list when seeking the love of my life; it was on my must-have list. And it was number one. Is this anywhere on your list? If not, I strongly encourage you to reconsider. As a wellness consultant, I routinely […]

Free to Give and Receive
As I frequently point out, giving typically bestows blessings on both the giver and the receiver. These blessings are not automatic, however. An essential element which allows the good to flow is that the giving and receiving be done freely. There may be times that based on the situation, we feel obligated to give, to […]
Just Because You Can Doesn’t Mean You Should
The sexual freedom presented in the movies and on television today has many people unsure how to behave. I saw evidence of this when I was dating, and this phrase frequently came to mind: just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

How Well Do You Receive Change?
Much is written and taught about handling change today. Since receiving always involves a change, learning to embrace change will enhance our ability to receive. How does receiving always mean change? When we receive something, we now have something we didn’t have before, be it a tangible gift, an idea, an understanding of someone’s view […]
The Emotional Bank Account
Over the years I’ve loved Steven Covey’s work, especially his concept of the emotional bank account. In a nutshell, he says that we have an account with each person we relate to.
