Do you know what makes a relationship with a potential customer work? Or not work?
Many salespeople see developing a relationship with a prospect as:
1. Being able to establish bonding and rapport.
2. The prospect shows interest in their product or service.
3. The prospect gives them a small piece of business initially.
4. The prospect is willing to meet with them or returns their calls.
These are all part of developing a relationship…but there's more, something much deeper.
At a human being to human being, one on one level, a relationship that works for both prospect and salesperson is about safety.
Both parties feel a certain amount of safety and comfort in dealing with each other. Because of that, good, substantive conversations are held. A meaningful exchange of information takes place. And by safety I don't mean that the only necessary element is trust. Safety comes from how the tension in the relationship (anxiety, fear) is managed by the two parties.
In selling, tension is always high in the beginning of the process, usually in the first face to face meeting. The prospect feels a need to protect themselves from a salesperson who they feel may take advantage of them. The salesperson feels tension from being in a situation where they may be rejected. As a result, both parties erect a 'boundary' (think of it as an invisible wall) around themselves. The 'fight or flight' instinct is at play here. The boundary serves as a mechanism to not only create safety–it also helps each person manage their own tension.
Many sales meetings begin and end without these boundaries ever coming down for either person. Neither party feels safe, meaning they never cross their own boundary much less cross the other party's boundary to have an open, straightforward conversation and make a connection with each other. Because salespeople must take responsibility for their sales outcomes, it's up to them to take the lead in making the connection first. The good news is that prospects very easily recognize which salesperson is willing to cross their boundary and help them feel safe. And with other things about the potential purchase being somewhat equal, these are the salespeople from whom they buy.
The tools at the salesperson's disposal to accomplish this level of rapport are readily available and can be developed through consistent, focused effort and discipline:
1. Behavior style adaptation
2. Matching and mirroring
3. Neurolinguistic programming
5. Communication strategies
With this post I've only scratched the surface of the role that managing tension and helping customers feel safe plays in developing relationships with customers and winning more business. Look for future posts that expand on this subject!


How the UK-EU marriage went sour
- Ajoutée 24 juin 2016
- The marriage between the United Kingdom and the European Union has not been a harmonious one, and now they find themselves in divorce court. There are many reasons why the marriage went sour, and it’s not surprising that after all these years the couple has found more that pulls them apart than brings them together.

Are you wondering how will you maintain friendships after marriage? Shadiyana.pk got some amazing tips for you!
Friendships are an important part of human development. Good friends not only yield a support system for a long time but they also help in overcoming the little problems one might face in life. Therefore, it not only requires active time and effort investment to build good friendships but also constant input.
But what if you are hitched now? Your all time is going into building a perfect home. Perfect home and a perfect family. It can steal away your time from your social circle. You would need to invest way more in your family especially if you're building a new foundation. So if you are wondering how you can balance your friendships after marriage without losing many of your important besties, here is something for you!
Schedule Appointments with Your Friends!
We understand how time can be an important constraint, but what you can do to overcome it, is bond your spouse and BFF together, make an appointment, a day out or something fun where your spouse can know your friends. In this way, you all can be a great mob of family and friends. This will make the whole hanging out experience, way more fun and friendships after marriage, easy to maintain!
What can be done is, that you can either make an evasive plan and talk it out with your partner beforehand so no one's expectations are getting hurt and this is why you can plan the rest around too. You can plan a trip out in a month with your friends only, dinner dates or some games. Make a proper schedule so that everything goes organized and well.
Finding the Right Balance
If you are in a marriage, it should be important enough for you too. If you hang out with your friends all the time to maintain friendships after marriage. It can take a downside towards your marriage. The lack of availability can make you distance away from your spouse, therefor it is utmost to keep them on the same page but also don't devoid the friends of your presence. Sure, do hang out but if it is affecting your relationship it's time you step back and talk it out.
Finding who is a Real Friend
Now you don't need to find time and interact with people who are negative and toxic. One such person might be who creates deviation or slander against your relationship or your spouse. Great if they highlight any red flags but know the difference between your real friends and someone toxic. You do want to stay away from them.
Invite Your Friends Over
If you can't find time to go and hang out, invite them over. This way they will be more familiarized with your house and your spouse. They can maybe help you around set up something new, or do some DIY for the new house. It will get the job done as well as help you hang out with them. Go shopping together and get two shots in one arrow.
It is an important part of any relationship whether it's your friends or your spouse. Make sure they are not bugging you a little too much about what to do and what not to. It's okay for them to demand more of you, but if they are controlling you then it's a red flag. You can talk out your monthly meeting with your friends beforehand with your spouse. And inform your friends that you have a family to take care of too now. This way they both know what you can offer.
Allow New People
If your old friends require too much effort, and despite being clear with what you can provide. If they still don't understand maybe it's time to loosen the grip and let them go. You can always make new friends if they are your work friends or your spouse's friends. It will be good for your mental health and help you interact with people who are in your mindset.
The Golden Rule
Whenever you're hanging out with your friends, out or at home, make sure you don't spend all the time talking about yourself. We do understand you are hyped to share all the tea with them about your married life. But talking about you only can sound rude and snobbish. Listen to them too and ask them what's popping in their lives. This can prove to be a determining factor regarding friendships after marriage are going to sustain or not.
In short, you don't have to cut someone off completely just because you are married. Similarly do not just dwell on them all the time either. Change is hard to adapt, but we are confident you are eager to try new things in your married life too. You won't be able to do daily gossip and chatter every day, but you now have a soulmate too. It's a good trade now, isn't it? Maintain a balance and communicate well, so all your friendships after marriage will never go astray!


I was on a verge of loosing a good friend of mine due to some unknown misunderstandings between us. I would refer this friend as D, as I don't want to reveal her identity in public.
D & I became good friends since we joined college. We used to spent a lot of time together. But from the past few months, something just went wrong between the two of us. I just could not understand what happened, but both of us just stopped talking all of a sudden. Reaon, I don't know and I believe that even she didn't knew. Both of us behaved like strangers even if we would come across each other, which happened quite often.
It all started a few months back. Due to some reasons, we saw less of each other. There were days when we didn't got a chance to talk once a day, inspite of being in the same class. It felt like both of us were ignoring each other, while thinking back the reality seems that both of us were under the influence of the same misunderstanding. I'm still not sure that this would have been the reason or not.
But, something unexpected happened today. Due to some reason I went to college today (our summer breaks are going on) and to my surprise, the first person I met while entering the college was D. She was coming out of the college, while I was entering. Suddenly, everything became normal like before. Both of us spent time together, though just 10 minutes, it seemed that our friendship is as good as it had ever been. We talked like we usually did before. It appeared like nothing happened between us in the last few months. Everything was just normal as it should be. I am really happy to get back a friend, whom I had almost lost.
You would have seen how I was just on the verge of losing a good friend due to some misunderstanding that prevailed between both of us. Please don't let your relationships die due to misunderstandings. I have learnt a lesson but it was a hard way out. So, do talk clearly to the person you love and care about.
P.S.: Those who would be getting all sorts of thoughts about D and me, I would like to clarify that D is just a good friend of mine and a really sweet one.


My approach to therapy
I practice psychodynamic therapy, an approach that uses the client-therapist relationship to explore emotional patterns.
Central to this approach is the idea that each person brings to our relationship – to every relationship – a unique personality, history, and social contexts. So there is no one-size-fits-all “treatment” in psychodynamic therapy.
Instead, we build a relationship and look at how your unique traits come into play in that relationship. The relationship itself becomes a kind of laboratory for self-examination and personal growth. The insights you gain help you find meaning in your experiences and can transform the way you feel, think, and behave. People are constantly evolving and changing, at every stage of life. Psychotherapy is one method of influencing these changes in a positive direction.
Starting therapy: what to expect
At your first session we’ll talk about what brought you here and move forward from there. At the end of the 50-minute session I can usually make an assessment and recommendation, and together we’ll determine how to continue.
When I work with couples, I usually see the couple first together and then each for an individual session. Then I present my assessment and recommendations for your consideration.
Many people feel relieved after their first session, when they see that their concerns can be addressed. Others may take longer to feel comfortable and trusting in the relationship.s anxious or depressed, more comfortable with yourself and others. You can face problems you’ve been avoiding and learn to cope better not only with a crisis but with the challenges of everyday life.


Ever been curious about the history of wedding rings? I know I’ve been! Someone once told me that wedding bands were made to identify the finger that had a vein that leads directly to your heart. I’m a romantic at heart and willing to believe most sentimental things that have to do with weddings and marriage – but, turns out though that that tradition may have originated somewhere between 866 to 1300 A.D. in Ancient Rome – go figure! Check out more fun facts about the wedding band in this fun infographic from Shane Co below!
I just love this infographic! Thank you so much for sharing. I love the thought of a groom giving his bride a wedding ring as they enter their home–sounds so much more romantic than at the altar! 🙂


Research has shown that the gut microbiota may play a crucial role in obesity, with obese patients showing a reduced microbial diversity (1). Overweight and obesity, particularly abdominal adiposity, increase the risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease (CVD). A recent study now explored whether abdominal adiposity is also associated with the gut microbiota (2). The researchers used visceral fat, subcutaneous fat mass and percentage trunk as measures of abdominal adiposity. Measures of abdominal adiposity were obtained from the TwinsUK cohort, as well as their fecal microbiome profiles. They found several significant association between lower bacterial diversity and the presence of certain bacterial species and adiposity measures. Visceral fat (VFM) associations made up the highest proportion of significant results. With the use of heritability analysis, these so-called adiposity-associated bacteria were then used to study host-microbiota interactions at obesity-associated human candidate genes. Studies have shown that obesity seems to be genetically influenced, but the underlying mechanisms remain to be elucidated. The heritability analysis showed several significant associations of adiposity-associated microbes and host genetic variants. This suggests that the obesity-associated genes might influence the presence of adiposity-associated gut bacteria. In other words, a proportion of the heritability in obesity may be related to heritable gut microbes. Thus, this innovative study does not only show strong associations between gut microbial profiles with measures of abdominal fat, but also that host genetic variants may influence the interaction between the human gut microbiota and obesity and its cardio-metabolic consequences.

Hierarchical structure and mechanical properties of bone matrix
Bone is often regarded as a composite material consisting of hydroxyapatite (HAp-like) mineral particles, organic matrix (mostly Type I collagen) and water phases in microscopic scale. The mechanical properties of bone at macroscopic scale depend on the structural organization and properties of constituents in the microscopic scale. We investigate the relationship between the mechanical properties and micro-structure of bone tissues. And we investigate the mechanical behavior of the biomimetically mineralized collagen material for bone scaffolds.
Structural strength of cancellous bone
Macroscopic bone properties depend on the microscale structural organization and the properties of microstructural elements. In the case of cancellous bone, the network structure of trabeculae, i.e., bar/plate bone elements of submillimeter diameter/thickness, results in the anisotropic properties as a porous media, and it is important to investigate the mechanical properties of cancellous bone with relation to the microstructural and micromechanical properties of trabeculae. We investigate the structural strength of cancellous bone. And we investigate the relationship between the macroscopic properties of cancellous bone and its trabeculae properties.


Adult love ful relationships
by Jesper Juul www.Family-Lab.se
The ambition to keep our adult relationships alive and vibrant until death or divorce do us part is new. There have always been couples who managed this, but never before have our expectations been so high and so much in the foreground as they are now. Even if we take the somewhat childish notions of the “perfect” marriage and ever experimenting and exiting sex life with multiple, wet orgasms off the table there is a new dimension to what couples dream and talk about.
Throughout history marriage and monogamous couples have made sense in different ways. Procreation and caring for our offspring is one, which still makes sense to a majority of adults. For centuries it was a social necessity, without which neither women nor men could live. In the upper classes marriage had to make financial as well as political sense. Life as a single was until recently considered morally and socially dubious. My own generation, who married or just lived together without the blessings of church or State, opened the door to partnerships, which were striving for equality and based on emotions. Partnerships had to make emotional sense and satisfy our need for closeness, dialogue, empathy and feeling seen and recognized.
Today approximately half off all marriages are dissolved within the first fifteen years and as a reaction to this somewhat depressive figure many are now trying to convince each other to endure more difficulties and emotional pain for the sake of the children. Although this is a very legitimate reason I doubt that it will reduce the number of brake-ups. In combination with a moral demand from sociaty it might delay them.
I my work I meet very few couples who are giving up easily. They are all searching and asking for valid reasons and preventive measures, by which they might avoid the emotional and existential pain of divorce. On the other hand they all do the same calculation: we never see each other; we have become spectators to each other’s lives; we function well as a family but have lost closeness and passion as a couple; we argue and fight all the time.
As a psychotherapist I have always avoided using my professional experiences and insights to suggest a “meaning of life”, because I don’t feel that it has anything new or significant to contribute to this eternal search and longing for meaning. I do however have a strong feeling that my profession can offer some vital pieces to the puzzle, when I comes to suggesting a contemporary meaning of love based relationships between adults. In Family Therapy we have been utilizing and drawing power from a very specific source in our attempts to help couples stay together and enrich their relationship as well as individual existence as “Menchen”. Therefore I’m prepared to risk my professional image by suggesting that:
The meaning of having a close emotional relationship with another adult is twofold: enriching the relationships within the family through individual, personal development.
As the reader already knows I consider the relationship between parents and children to be a valuable source of mutual psychosocial growth as well. By personal development/growth in this context I mean replacing the patterns of behavior and thinking, which we learned in our family-of- origin either by copying our parents or in order to adjust as well as possible to the ways and values of our family. I call this our survival strategy. As we grow up and form new, close relationships we often discover that part of this behavior does not serve our own needs and/or the needs of our loved ones as adults. I’m not referring to any of the more fashionable self-realization projects - I must follow my dreams, no matter what! Nor do I mean in a strictly individual, spiritual sense. Nothing is wrong with that, but in this context it is rarely on the agenda as a natural consequence of our close relationships.
The idea is to mature in such a way that we gradually become our own person and develop our behavior in ways which our loved ones can experience as love and which we can claim full personal responsibility for. As long as we are on this path, we can be as authentic as possible, which again is a prerequisite for the kind of personal presence, which is necessary for close relationships with adults and children. With a little luck and a lot of love from our partners and children we can grow up and become as valuable for our close ones, friends, workplace and society as we possibly can-i.e. realize our full potential. If we feel a desire to expand beyond this - art, meditation, prayer, dedication, education and role models we choose along the way are often very helpful.
A loving partnership is also the arena for developing our communicative skills. The state of loving harmony does not teach us much in this regard – we need conflicts, crisis as well as mutual projects for this. We must experience our limitations in order to grow.
Learning through conflict, dialogue, observation and play has always taken place in couples and people have always changed and matured – even when staying the same all through life was a masculine ideal. The difference is that now it can become a process in which we take a voluntary leadership. Since the beginning of family therapy, therapists have encouraged both partners to become aware of their destructive patterns and guided them in the process of supporting change instead of demanding it or criticizing existing behavior. When a relationship goes through what feels like World War 3 it is wise to invite the assistance of a therapist but as long as a feeling of friendship and love is still within reach people do fine on their own.
It is interesting how this corresponds with our deepest desire: to be of value to the people we love. As long as our loving emotions are visible and audible when we talk and work together there is only one sensible thing to do: enjoy how your mutual love makes you feel completely okay about yourself. Maybe for the first time in your life. After approximately 6-8 years both of you will experience some frustration either with your own habitual behavior or your partners. For most couples this culminates in a partnership crisis and this is the time when “we” develops into “You and I” and we see each other more clearly and this is the time to begin deliberate changes.
Human beings are tricky! We cannot change just because we want to. Personal growth depends very much on timing, the present quality of our relationship and our overall focus, which might be somewhere else. When change does not just happen it is time to learn how to appreciate each other and ourselves. We cannot change each other and we will never become perfect.
In order for this process to happen a few rules must be observed:
- You can never demand that your partner change or grows as a person.
- We can only change when we feel recognized and loved as we are and are able to accept ourselves as we are. Love and acceptance are prerequisites for change.
- When you are unhappy about your relationship change your own behavior. This will always inspire change in the others. Maybe not the change you wanted, but it will keep the family dynamic.
Ask your partner how you can be of help and do so if you can.
If we manage to accept this as the meaning of family we can avoid the most destructive parts of our stubbornness and a lot of freezing isolation.

Valentine’s Day assembly with another special guest
Today’s Assembly took place on Valentine’s Day. At the beginning, we talked about the festival and its meaning. The children had already wished a happy Valentine’s Day to their loved ones – not just their family, but also friends, classmates and even their pets. We talked about how important love is in our lives.
Then we had another guest speaker. This time, we were visited by Slavek Hrzal, the School Ombudsman. He talked about a lot of things. He told us about his work as a presenter on a children’s TV show in the past, about the Gold Amos poll that he started and, of course, about his work as an ombudsman. His message for us was a very good piece of advice: Do things that you enjoy, and once you start something, make sure to finish it.


Let's say goodbye for now
and go our separate ways
it hurts down to my soul (watching us go)
it will hurt more if we stay.
Doesn't mean I don't love you
doesn't mean youll loose my security
doesn't mean can't love me
doesn't mean we will never speak.
If we vow now gracefully

Becky Loves Rocks - Paperback
A Perspective on Acceptance and Being Yourself - Paperback
Becky is a free spirit who sees the value in all creation. This story how creating perspectives on relationships is important for everyone to consider. This story encourages the understanding that each of us are unique, the importance of loving ourselves just as we are, and to feel empowered to share our feelings with others without shame or guilt. I hope you enjoy reading this story and taking the time to have a conversation with a child about the importance of knowing who they really are and for accepting others for who they are, regardless of how they look or what they do.


He took a deep breath, “what’s the scariest sentence you have ever heard?”
Instantaneously, she knew her answer, but something about it seemed wrong. She paused and whispered, “I love you.”
As he heard those soft spoken words his heart shattered, for though his knowledge of love was trivial even he knew this was a story waiting to be told… Slowly he met her eyes, and as if their souls connected; she started to talk.
“I love you.”
“When I was little, love was a fairytale. The happily ever after with a princess and her prince. As I’ve grown I’ve learned a lot about love. Love isn’t always picture perfect, love isn’t always convenient, and love isn’t always a feeling, but love endures anyway… love is like cookies fresh from the oven, the sooner you try them the more likely you will get burned. Love is like jigsaw puzzles, all the pieces will fit together, but without time to sort through them, they never match up. Love is like rain, not always pouring down, but hanging in the air waiting to show you it’s beauty. Love isn’t seamless, but love is raw and broken, love is sweet and innocent, and love is hope and joy.”
“His heart shattered…”
Slowly, he began to realize that love isn’t a simple matter. As he read the depths of her story, his love gradually became tangible. While he loved her all long – each and every time she broke, he loved her a little more.
“Love isn’t always a feeling”
She had never loved so ardently. For never before had another bothered to finish writing her broken story. In breathtaking vulnerability, he stayed, and to her – that’s what she loved the most.
“Each and every time she broke, he loved her a little more.”
Years passed and together they held the pen, for it wasn’t his, or hers, but it became theirs…
“For never before had another bothered to finish writing her broken story…that’s what she loved the most.”


You’re feeling the urge to try to change someone close to you, but that never works. Instead, tell yourself that you like them just the way they are, and mean it. Thinking these words will have the profound power to create harmony in any relationship between two people. Listen closely with your heart and you will know you are doing the right thing. Allow yourself to be more trusting and relaxed.
People born on November 28th have the urge to try new things and possess an adventurous nature and a strong desire for freedom. You are refined and sociable, with a love of beauty and luxury. There’s a certain class about you that people respect and gravitate toward. Your strong family ties support you emotionally.
Daily thought for November 28th: Humpty Dumpty may have fallen from the wall. But did the king’s men even try to put him together again? If you make a mistake, make a solution!


Today I read an article “5 Fights Every Couple Should Have” on Yahoo and it made me reflect on my own relationship. 1 year 8 months. That is how long I’ve been in my first serious, adult relationship. No we aren’t engaged, married, have kids, or share finances. However, we do spend A LOT of time together. And what usually happens when a couple spends a lot of time together? They either grow closer or further apart.
I would be lying if I said my relationship was perfect. Arguments have strengthened our bond because:
- It helped establish respect.
- When there is listening and talking involved – it helped us see both sides to the argument and appreciate each other.
- Speaking for myself – it has helped me pinpoint what I SHOULDN’T do, like hold onto things.
There are more ways arguments have benefited my relationship but those are the creme de la creme.
As far as advice goes: “If fights are unavoidable, why not make them as productive as possible?” – Dr. Gilda Carle. My big pet peeve with fights is CONSTANTLY fighting over the SAME issue! It annoys me even more when I am at fault! Ideally, fights should end with a resolution, an agreement, a compromise. There should be some progress made. After all, who wants to be in a regressive relationship?
Closing thoughts: Fights are good as long as there is growth involved because: no couple is perfect, no one person is perfect, everyone makes mistakes (keep in mind: you can only forgive a person so many times before they start taking advantage), and ultimately, if you love your partner and you both are making an effort, don’t stop ’til it’s over!

Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII
Voice Actor: N/A
Chelsea is a relatively minor member of the eco-terrorist group called AVALANCHE, but she plays a significant - albeit short - role in the Before Crisis story.
She becomes romantically engaged with Rude, which obviously poses a conflict of interest as they're enemies of one another. Despite the fact they feel strongly for each other, Chelsea still has a strong sense of duty to AVALANCHE and bugs Rude's phone while he is in the bathroom. Fortunately, Reno is around and notices her doing so, otherwise the consequences could have been severe for the Turks.
Serious Dilemma - Which Side To Choose?
After luring Rude on a date to watch the tree light up on the 24th of December, Chelsea goes to meet her fellow AVALANCHE members. However, she realises that her feelings for Rude are too strong and that she cannot go forward with the initial plan. Instead, Chelsea decides to betray AVALANCHE, which they aren't overly happy about.
Fortunately a member of the Turks is able to defeat the AVALANCHE members and save Chelsea's life, but this experience has a lasting impression on her. Shortly after she explains to the Turk that she cannot stay with Rude due to where their loyalties lie. However, she hopes that in another life the two of them can meet under different circumstances.
The Turk then informs Rude that Chelsea isn't coming to the date and relays the message that she gave.

A recent survey by the Dutch magazine Kek Mama revealed that one third of those in a relationship plan sex. For this group, there is almost no room for a spontaneous quicky, because young mothers are too busy.
The study group consisted of 1500 mothers aged between 20 and 45. The same survey revealed that on average young couples have four fights a month and three percent have a fight every single day.
About 20 percent of the mothers questioned indicated that they have fallen in love with somebody else once. However, two thirds of the amorous mothers did not tell their partner.

Ten years ago yesterday, my wife and I went on our first date. We sometimes joke, You had me at let's go to subway, since that's where I took her, a small place just up the hill, as I put it, from my house. This particular establishment had a drive thru, which made ordering a bit difficult as Anastasia leaned over me because we couldn't keep our hands or our lips off each other. We became inseparable and later married in 2011, one year after having our first child. But it's not been an easy road at all. From having a disabled child to moving across the country and dealing with some of the hardest problems a relationship can face, I dare say that nearly 100% of couples in our situation would have split long ago. But we did not. No matter how hard or hopeless things got, and no matter how long it lasted, nothing has ever been able to break us. Now I don't want to make it sound like we've always had it hard either. We've also had very good and fun times together, but there is certainly something to be said about our ability to face the tough side of life. Statistically speaking, just having a disabled child alone is enough to break up many couples, not including any other problems or hardships the relationship may be having.
When I first met Anastasia, we lived nearly a thousand miles apart. She was in Chicago and I resided in Thomasville, North Carolina. I had other girls trying for me during that time, but one thing that drew me to Anastasia was the fact that she was willing to travel so far, and so often, to be with me even for the shortest amount of time. I had never found greater dedication to me from any other woman in my life. I decided that if I wanted a long term relationship, this was the opened door, and our first year together in our first apartment was an amazing time of new experiences for us. It even brought us both into the same religion. In fact, we have been kept together by our love and devotion to the Gods, always trusting in them to get us through anything, and also of course by our great passion for one another and devotion to our family.
A long lasting relationship, I think, is born of 3 things. Faith, whether it be in the Gods and/or in yourselves. Devotion, as in undying dedication to your partner. No matter what happens, or doesn't happen, you don't give up on each other. In order to have a relationship that never ends, you have to have strength that never relents. And third, passion between both of you, because a physical and mental passion never ever dies, if it's genuine. You can't quite explain it in words, but there's just something about the person that makes you want to kiss them all over. Even after ten years, I am still obsessed with my wife. She still makes me weak in the knees, and equally important, the feeling is mutual. Unfortunately, the third element is not something you can create. There's either passion and chemistry, or there's not. But once you do find it, you can count on forever if you add the other elements of the relationship. Without question, I know my wife and I will spend the rest of our lives together.
In the Goodness of the Gods,


Beth seems to think so…
Would your life unravel if someone you knew committed suicide?
Faye knows her heart still belongs to her first love, Jack. She also knows he might have moved on, but when she decides to track him down, nothing prepares her for the news that he’s taken his own life.
Faye is left wondering how to move forward – and whether or not Jack’s best friend Ethan will let her down again.
And the news of Jack’s death ripples through the lives of her friends too. Abbie finds herself questioning her marriage, and wondering if she was right to leave her first love behind.
Poor Olivia is juggling her job and her boyfriend with supporting her friends and trying to deal with a death of her own. And Jack’s death has hit Beth the hardest, even though she never knew him.
Is Beth about to take her own life too?


Happiness & Fulfillment
6 principles that help you build better relationships.
Relationships are an important factor of you overall happiness, this is why I researched this topic and read many books about this topic. How can I build strong and lasting relationships and lucky for you I found an answer which when looking at it sounds easy, but needs a bit of a mind shift for most people. (at least the ones I know)
Dale Carnegie wrote in his book how to win friends & influence people about 6 principles you can apply to make people like you more and by this build a better relationship.
The 6 principles to build better relationships.y
Dale gives in his book 6 principles that help you with building a relationship with others, he helps you that other people like you more.
- Become genuinely interested in other people.
- Remember that person’s name.
- Be a good listener.
- Talk in term of the other person’s interest.
- Make the other person feel important and be sincere about it.
Become genuinely interested in other people.
In short, if you really want to know, people tend to sense it. Somehow, we notice when someone is polite and when someone is sincerely interested.
Remember that person’s name.
For me this is one of my improvement area’s I am not good with names and sometimes even mix them up. But a person’s name is so important to them, I hate it when people mis spell my name or announce it incorrect. So, by taking the effort to remember a person name you avoid those traps, but you also show that you took the effort to remember it.
Be a good listener.
Talk in terms of the other person’s interest.
People like to talk about what they are interested in so by combing this with the other principles you are set to for a lovely story. Where the other person feels he is truly heard.
Make the other person feel important and be sincere about it..

Just wanted to give a shout out to one of my blog pals, Candy! It's her birthday today! A couple of weeks ago she sent me a little love in the mail including a card that says:
Good friends make each other laugh.
Really good friends go for the snort.
So true! Her comments get lots of snorts from me! I hope this comes out like the true compliment it is, Candy, but you remind me a lot of my Mom...funny, reflective, and a spirit truly in love with Jesus that revels in the beauty of His world!
So wander on over to her blog, Steele the Day and leave her some love, got it? Or I'll be forced put on my Smarty Pants and go all superhero on your booty....

Retrouvaille of Chicago is a community within the Retrouvaille Catholic ministry.
We believe that every marriage, a union of one man and one woman, deserves the opportunity to survive, be healed and thrive as a covenant of life and love. Retrouvaille is the place where we, as hurting couples, found hope and so we are passionately committed to dramatically increasing the number of couples served in both new and existing communities worldwide.
The primary goal is to provide help for couples who live in the disappointment and pain of marriage problems. The weekend provides a safe setting encouraging couples to learn communication in marriage in a respectful manner. The post-weekend phase of the Retrouvaille program is as critical to a couple experiencing marital problems as the initial weekend experience. The degree of disappointment, deterioration and despair in hurting marriages cannot be healed in one weekend. Restoration takes time. The post-weekend sessions provide support as couples discuss concepts of the importance of communication in marriage, intimacy, and many other topics. Today’s unchallenged acceptance of divorce suggests that many friends, families, church communities are providing only limited support for marriages. Retrouvaille is a program that is solely dedicated to providing the necessary support to help save marriages.
Register for Chicago’s next weekend on June 2-4.
If you are looking for an earlier weekend, you can find nearby weekend programs offered by other Retrouvaille communities in the area.


Femme Russe A nice man wanted
Our dating site features thousands of single Russian and Ukrainian women who are looking for a life partner. We offer the possibility to get in touch with serious and sincere girls, who were met in person, interviewed and validated their identity. With the help of our honest and reliable marriage agencies and our quality matchmaking service, we can help serious men from all over the world to meet beautiful ladies from Belarus, Latvia, Moldova, Russia and the Ukraine who are looking for a good hearted man to share their life with.
Because of the lack of available men in their own country, thousands of Russian and Ukrainian women are broadening their search of a husband to other regions of the world. Being outnumbered by approx. At the same time, men from many different countries find it more and more difficult to find a life partner, in their own country, who still believe in the traditional family values.
Russian women are generally well-educated, contemporary women who still believe in the traditional family. Each year, thousands of Russian ladies become the beautiful brides and charming wives of lucky men from all over the world. Our international dating website and matchmaking service have partnered with honest and reliable marriage agencies in Belarus, Latvia, Moldova, Russia and the Ukraine. Every marriage agency owner is an experienced matchmaker and takes pride in introducing their beautiful Russian women to men from different countries.
They meet in person with each lady to interview her and to verify her identity with passport. We guarantee that each Russian woman displayed on our website is real and seeking a husband outside her country, thus, willing to relocate with the right man. Our marriage agencies offer a quality matchmaking service that contributes at creating long term relationships between their charming women and men who are seeking a Russian wife.
Single Russian women who are seeking a life partner with the help of international dating sites are sometimes perceived as they were simply seeking money or a passport to another country. While there are certainly such cases, as for men and women from any country, the average single Russian woman looking for a life partner with the help of the Internet is simply broadening her search because for many of them, it is very difficult to find this man in their own country.
Russian women are intelligent, well educated, family oriented and… beautiful! However, the family values are always kept above financial and career issues. This is part of what makes each Russian woman such a wonderful wife! This international dating website is giving you the possibility to find such a bride.
We offer matchmaking services to meet beautiful Russian ladies seeking to be the wives of decent, faithful and good hearted men. Russian scammers and their dating scams are detected from the moment they meet our marriage agency owners. Scammer artists know the rules of our marriage agencies and will most likely use free dating websites to perform their scams. Our marriage agency staff validates the identity of each Russian woman, Belarus woman and Ukraine woman with passport and interviews her to evaluate the truthfulness of her intentions.
My Partner Forever does not tolerate any agency scams. Our international dating website and matchmaking service works with the best marriage agencies in Belarus, Russia and the Ukraine. Our reputation relies on our integrity and honesty. Russian scammers know our rules and know that scams are not tolerated; thus they will avoid our dating website and perform their scam elsewhere. It is widely known that Eastern European Women from Russia, Belarus and the Ukraine are some of the most beautiful and charming women in the world.
They are gorgeous on the inside, too -- and they know how to make their husbands happy! Russian women, Belarus women and Ukraine women are seeking a good man for husband and become his beautiful wife.
Our dating website, marriage agencies and matchmaking service will assist you in every step of finding your beautiful Russian Bride. Many Eastern European women cannot find the man who will make their dream come true: Living in a country where there is 10 million more women than men, she will register with a marriage agency that works with international dating websites and internet personals to find the man who will make her dreams come true; become a beautiful Russian bride.
It is not a secret that single Russian men are spoiled and reluctant to engage in serious relationships. Thousands of beautiful Russian girls are leaving their homeland each year to be with their husband who they found with the help of an international dating website.
As thousands of lucky men do every year, make a beautiful Russian woman or pretty Ukrainian girl become your future wife. Russian girls, Belarusian girls and Ukrainian girls become beautiful brides and make the best wives because they offer the most of both worlds — exotic beauty and traditional family values.
From the beginning of their teenage years, girls from Belarus, Russia and the Ukraine are taught by their mothers how to become beautiful Russian brides and good wives. They are taught how to be beautiful and feminine and how to be a good housewife who always puts her family and husband first. We want to make this perfectly clear: Could YOU be that man for one of these beautiful Russian girls? I Alain from Montreal, Canada feel like the luckiest man on the planet. I married a beautiful and wonderful Russian woman named Yuliya.
A few years ago, we were living in different parts of the world, seeking a life partner without any success. As fate would have it, we met through an international dating website and struck up a correspondence with each other. We sent letters, exchanged pictures, and our casual online relationship soon deepened into something more meaningful. Though we were nervous about our first "real" meeting, we soon became quite comfortable with each other.
By the end of the week, my beautiful Russian woman and I knew we were in love! Yuliya and I exchanged emails and talked to each other via "Skype" and our love kept on growing. Soon we were vacationing on a beach in Cuba together! Comment réagir quand un partenaire refuse de mettre un préservatif? Clientèle parisienne et [ Club Gayvox Réservé abonnés.

3 Practices To Become A Better Friend To Yourself
The most important relationship you’ll ever have.
“What progress, you ask, have I made?
I have begun to be a friend to myself.”
That was indeed a great benefit; such a person can never be alone. — Seneca


Mitch and I celebrated our 7th anniversary yesterday. He even had the day off!!! We went out for BBQ and watched Indiana Jones - the first one, which I hadn't seen. Logan stayed with Laurie and Anna, and had a wonderful time with his best friend. I suspect that he never noticed that we were gone. It was really nice to spend some time together, just the two of us, and reminisce about our marriage so far. We're looking forward to more adventures!!


How can I kiss him without letting him know that I like him?
Meaning of love depends upon the relation by which you attached to the person.

Love can also be understand as a feeling or way which is holding up the mankind with each other.
Whenever there is a misunderstanding in a relationship or some disputes occur in a relationship,the only thing that survives the relation is love otherwise that relation means nothing. By religious point of view,every religion including Islam,Hinduism,Judaism etc always stress upon love,kindness and affection.
Religion always taught us about the love and affection. So we should always treat with love and kindness with others so that we might be able to play a role in making our society peaceful. In this post i have collected some of the most heart touching and lovely love quotes,which will not only invoke your feelings but will also help you to understand the real meaning and definition of love.
Love is what makes the ride worthwhile. I love you straight forwardly, without complexities and pride so i love because i know no other way.

Actors, dancers and opera singers meet on stage in our adaptation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, First Love – Ein Sommernachtstraum. They will take on their roles as lovers, fairies and craftsmen, who happen to meet in the forest, where nothing goes as it was planned. Deep feelings, flat jokes, anarchy and chaos evolve.
In addition to our play, we want to send the audience on their own quest for love, or at least, on a quest for love stories. Real love stories which have happened in Linz. Therefore, we want to put all the knowledge that we gained through our PlayOn! collaboration to work and create a location-based app, that will guide its users through the city to various spots where people fell in love with each other and reveal their stories. And maybe, the ones who go on this quest will find a romance of their own.

Relationship analysis : improving the systems analysis process
Department of Information Systems
Doctor of Philosophy
Deek, Fadi P.
Kirova, Vassilka D.
A significant aspect of systems analysis involves discovering and representing entities and their inter-relationships. Guidelines exist to identify entities but do not provide a rigorous and comprehensive process to explicitly capture the relationship structure of the problem domain. Whereas, other analysis techniques lightly address the relationship discovery process, Relationship Analysis is the only systematic, domain-independent analysis technique focusing exclusively on a domain's relationship structure.
The quality of design artifacts, such as class diagrams, and development time necessary to generate these artifacts can be improved by first representing the complete relationship structure of the problem domain. The Relationship Analysis Model is the first theory-based taxonomy to classify relationships. A rigorous evaluation was conducted, including a formal experiment comparing novice and experienced analysts with and without Relationship Analysis. It was shown that the Relationship Analysis Process based on the model does provide a fuller and richer systems analysis, resulting in improved quality of and reduced time in generating class diagrams. It also was shown that Relationship Analysis enables analysts of varying experience levels to achieve a similar level of quality of class diagrams. Relationship Analysis significantly enhances the systems analyst's effectiveness, especially in the area of relationship discovery and documentation resulting in improved analysis and design artifacts.

Today marks 8 years Anissa and I have been married. Anissa asked me the other night if it felt like 8 years. To be honest I don’t know what 8 years should feel like…is that long, is it short?…
Some say 10 years is the new 50, but in general I think it’s more about how you spend that time together. For me, when I reflect on our marriage I see the wonderfully different stages of our relationship. Since being married there have been so many chapters…even before we were married. I have loved and hated all of them at some point…but I guess that’s how life is. There are ups, there are downs, but she is always by my side, we love each other unconditionally and more importantly we always support one another. I recognize I am fortunate to have found somebody who understands me so well.
Thinking about how our marriage was on day 1 and how it is now on day 2,920 there are obviously differences, but the core ideals, beliefs and love we have for each other remains the same. We are happy together in our own little world.
I have to say the past 2 years, since Cedrina was born, have been the most amazing to experience with Anissa. Since the moment I met her in 1999, this is what I have wanted more than anything else; it is what I thought of when I pictured happiness… to be with her, to have a family. She is my co-pilot, our journey has been amazing and our relationship is stronger than ever.
I never forget how lucky I am.

Romance is at the heart of any dating experience. Everyone is the world has a tendency to fall in love Therefore if you can fall in love, you can be romantic too. Romance is not in the grand gestures it is in the small details. Women will often say that it is the small things that matter. The small gestures but it is down to both men and women to start being romantic. It is a two-way process and both parties get an immense amount of pleasure from showing they care about someone. Yes we would all love to have a romantic picnic on a deserted Caribbean beach with the person of our dreams.
Caring is such an immense joy to respond to that care is another matter entirely. We all have that intense feeling to emerge with immense attraction towards a person. And ensuring the safety of that special person. Lovely indeed is those who are blessed to show such affections and blessed are those who receive such affections. A fruitful intense sensation is when you are held within the other persons heart with such enthusiasm and affection. This very feeling is inexpressible. Communicate with your partner on every level and anticipate the moment of each conversation. Don’t over express any idea that leads to a broken conversation.
Close all chapters that leads to a dead end. Listen to every conversation take active part in it. Send each other small notes and clips expressing each others feelings. Be spontaneous. Stop being thoughtless and selfish. No compromise. Romance is often sacrificing time to spend time with your partner. Some people don’t understand that it is a two way street.Love is a universal language and a universal fixation. We are constantly seeking after it, listening to songs about it, watching friends and family engage in it, and trying to obtain it for ourselves, if we aren’t currently blessed with it. Dating and romance within love, specifically, are no small topics. If you don’t learn to love yourself you will always be chasing people who don’t love you either. Its better to have nobody than to have somebody who is half there or not at all. Great relationship is not great because there is no problems but because both want to find a way for it to work. If it makes her smile do it more often. Fall in love with someone who does the right things rather than says the right things. If life can remove someone you never dreamed of losing than it can replace them with someone you never dreamed of having. The most thing in communication is hearing what hasn’t been said.
Never apologize for being sensitive or emotional it is a sign of having a heart. Be a fountain not a drain. Give out more than you take. The greatest thing you can do for a girl is the little things to let her know she is in your heart. To love a person is to see the magic and remind them when they have forgotten it. Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius – and a lot of courage – to move in the opposite direction.
Have you ever guessed what your loved ones or the people you care about are thinking, and been totally wrong? Have you assumed they like something, when in fact this was not the case? Maybe you thought they liked going to a specific restaurant because you have always taken them there, but never actually asked if they enjoyed it?
Assuming and guessing what people think can create complications down the line. Through maintaining open forms of communication and simply asking your loved one’s questions directly, you avoid miscommunication and ensure a healthier and happier relationship.


My daughters friend lost her baby son at 20 weeks and needed a blanket of love to help her and her family through the grieving process. My daughter picked out a blanket she knew her friend would like. It was originally generously donated by Maria & I embroidered Tom and the date in a "heart" on the front.
Personally knowing the impact these BLanKeTs make to someone is really overwhelming... but wonderful at the same time.
Again I would like to THANK each and every wonderful & generous blogger who has made a donation to this project.

If someone asked you, “Who’s your ride-or-die?” there’s probably a face that would immediately pop up in your mind. It’s safe to say that’s the person whom you should be celebrating (or celebrating with) on National Best Friends Day. June 8th marks the annual celebration of friendship across the country.
Wondering how you can celebrate? Keep it socially distanced by setting up a video chat date over dinner or coffee, or share some of your favorite snaps to social media to let your bestie know you’re thinking of them. You might also be able to meet up for a picnic at your favorite local park from a safe distance. If you can’t be together in person or virtually, make sure you send a note or a gift so your BFF knows just how much you appreciate them!back to Blog


Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) and the Financial Services Authority of Indonesia (Otoritas Jasa Keuangan: OJK) have exchanged letters on FinTech Cooperation Framework regarding Innovation in the financial sector.
This will lead to increased exchanges regarding innovative trends and strengthen the cooperative relationship between the two authorities. The cooperation framework also includes referral mechanisms for financial innovators, which will therefore facilitate their entry into Indonesian or Japanese markets.
Indonesia and Japan have built connections with each other in the field of supervision and other financial cooperation. As innovative financial services expand on a global scale, tightening the relationship between authorities becomes more important.

Today's real adult doll fulfill almost all the wishes of their lover. All kinds of sexual stimulation, like other love dolls, can be more pronounced at different real dolls, and sometimes it is a little too withdrawn. Such sexually stimulating games are neither bad nor easy to express. Every man has his sexual preferences, and if he can not meet her in love, a silicone doll like this helps him to survive her fantasies.
If you look at a photo of a real love doll like a hot TPE love doll, you will feel great. Love dolls Beauty and erotic charisma are already releasing a happy hormone there.

New Zealand’s rules around dividing property after a separation aren’t always well understood – know where you stand and how to protect yourself in a new relationship.
New Zealand’s relationship property laws aren’t always well understood – the rules can come as a surprise to Kiwis who are separating from their partners. Here are a few important things to know about what happens to your property if your relationship splits up.
Relationship property can include things in your personal name
Relationship property is almost anything of value that you acquired during your relationship. That might include:
- Property, including your home and contents
- Your earnings and your savings
- Your business
- All of your investments – including KiwiSaver (just because your KiwiSaver account is in your name, that doesn’t make it exclusively your money)
- Non-personal debts like a joint mortgage (this may sometimes include a student loan)
After three years together, you are likely to be in a de facto relationship
After three years of living together, you are likely to be considered to be in a de facto relationship, even if you’re not married. That means the Family Court can make decisions about how the relationship property is divided. The same laws that apply to married couples will apply to your relationship if you break up.
Inheritances are yours unless you mingle them
If you’re left something as an inheritance, that’s not relationship property as long as you keep it separate from all your joint accounts and assets. But if you mingle an inheritance in with relationship property, it becomes relationship property, so you need to think carefully before you mix them together.
Have a contracting out agreement
If you want to protect your business, your house and your KiwiSaver funds, for instance, you could choose to opt out of the Property (Relationships) Act using a ‘contracting out’ or ‘section 21’ agreement.
This should be done before you and your partner have been together for three years.
Talk to a family lawyer for help.

I love to read about marriage; marriage research, marriage blogs, marriage tips. I especially like to look at how couples make their relationships last a lifetime and use that information to build that same future with my husband.
Recently, I was reading articles from my favorite marriage expert, Dr. John Gottman. He pointed out that one of the indicators of lifelong marital success is when couples turn toward one another more often than they turn away. This means that when one spouse make a “bid” for the other spouse’s attention (which could mean smiling at them, asking them a question, or telling them something interesting to us), their reaction to that bid can either build, or break down, the relationship.
The more we turn toward each other in those moments – the more we smile back, answer questions, and comment to each other – the better off the marriage is going to be. However, the more we turn away from each other, the more separation we create between us, the lonelier we’ll feel, and the more we fight about nothing.
Of course, Spencer ends up being my guinea pig for all sorts of marriage do’s and don’ts. This one was no exception. I started to notice instances when Spencer wasn’t turning toward me as much as I wanted him too. I would ask a question and he wouldn’t look up from his phone. I’d ask him to do something and he’d forget. I’d say something to him, and he’d interrupt me to mention something else.
Poor me! Always getting turned away from, but never toward! Something had to change.
I Would Have Missed the Dance
One morning, I was running around trying to get as much done as I could before we had to leave for the rest of the day. I was angry at how messy our house was and was becoming more and more frustrated with each second I cleaned it up. Spencer saw me fluttering around like an angry bee and came over. I was just about to put something away when a new song came on, and he took my hands. He put down the thing I was trying to throw away and just started to dance.
“Please don’t interrupt me right now,” I said, feeling more tense.
“Just don’t worry about all this right now sweetie. It’ll get done.”
Not wanting to start a fight, I didn’t say anything. Instead I stiffly started to dance with him, my mind everywhere else in the house. I hate when he does this, I thought. I’ll be RIGHT in the middle of trying to get something done and he just HAS to hug me, or kiss me, or just get in the way of what I’m trying to do!
“Stop thinking about all the stuff that you have to get done,” he said again.
“BUT I HAVE A LOT OF STUFF TO DO,” I lamented.
“Just dance with me.”
And then it hit me. It hit me like a ton of bricks. Every time Spencer was stopping me in the middle of something, he was bidding for my attention. And I was really good at (nastily) turning away.
Still feeling anxious, I tried to refocus on turning toward him. I didn’t want him to give up on this bid. I love it when he dances with me. But how could I calm down? That’s when a thought popped into my head.
What if this was the last dance you ever get to have? Would you care about how much you had to clean then?
It sobered me immediately. Why was I caring so much about putting boxes away when the love of my life was trying to DANCE WITH ME. A lot of women would kill to have their husbands spontaneously dance with them. Why was I worried about a clean house when my marriage should always be my top priority? It completely changed my attitude, and it calmed me down.
Practice Turning Toward
It’s obvious that I was being a grump in the story. But how often do we tell ourselves something different? How often do we make ourselves the hero in our own scenarios, when we’re actually the problem. I thought I was the only one getting the short end of the stick on bids, but Spencer was only asking for the length of a song from me. Was that really so hard? Wouldn’t I trade a thousand moments if that was the last one we ever got? Of course I would.
So now, whenever Spencer stops me in the middle of something, no matter how much it irritates me, I think to myself, what if this is the last one I ever get? It puts things into perspective immediately, and I get to cherish it so much more. If I say that my marriage is a top priority, I have to treat it like one!
I would encourage you to think about how you are prioritizing your spouse’s bids for your attention. How often do you turn away? How often do you turn toward? Does your spouse bid for your attention without you realizing it?
I’d like to challenge everyone to practice turning toward more bids. Sure, I could’ve just kept going, and he probably would have moved on. Maybe, I would have gotten more done. Maybe, I wouldn’t have felt as irritated or frustrated at him for stopping me. But I’d have had to miss my chance to turn toward a bid. And I’d have had to miss the dance.
