Life Timebank Required
Whupped Two Pies at pool last night before coming home and breaking even over a few $22's.Thanks to Rich for the comment left on my last post.More poker stuff soon..
I started work at 8am today and was asleep reasonably early last night before being woken up by a phone call from the lady I'm seeing at the moment.She was in tears and talking about how she's falling for me ( wait till she gets to know me eh!) but wants me to finish it with her as she can't give me kids and she knows I'd like to be a Dad one day.Ahhhh jeeeez!
I do really like her but I've probably been too quick to jump in heart first previously ( been hurt as a reward) and this time I'm taking things far more slowly in my head.Things certainly seemed far easier in my 20's when there was far less baggage and stuff to complicate matters.I'm still not sure even nearly 2 years after splitting with the ex Mrs A if we were simply in a rut and had drifted apart or if deep down I was unhappy because I knew if I stayed with her I would never have kids of my own.At the time I felt it was the former reason and that I'd accepted that Step A would be the kid in my life, but now I'm not so sure.
Even on the kids issue, as much I've always reckoned that's why we're here on this planet, I do appreciate and enjoy the lifestyle I currently lead and perhaps continuing as things are would not be the end of the world.I don't want this lady to think I'm stringing her along, but at the same time I feel like I need far longer than a month or so to decide how committed I want to be.I've never really gone into a relationship before without thinking ( probably naively) that this could be "the one" but when she first told me about not being able to have kids I was happy to tell myself to take things easy for once and replied that we should just enjoy each others company,have a laugh etc ( we all need a bit of etc!) and see where it takes us.
I had hoped writing a post may help clear things up in my head a bit as I'm just so dang indecisive sometimes when it comes to important stuff.She does make me happy and we do seem to click, but if she's says she's nuts about me and I can't say the same at the moment then maybe it's best to let go.I don't know if I'm holding back because I feel like we're still getting to know each other,the kids issue is bothering me,I just don't want to get hurt again or simply because having her telling me about her strong feelings is just a touch overpowering and could lead to the "c" word.( that's commitment not clitoris!)
Anyway neither of us seemed to want to say goodbye for the last time just yet...so we finished today's texts with me agreeing to give her a call to talk things over tomorrow.To borrow a poker analogy I feel like I need an extended timebank for this one...

What is a Healthy Relationship?
FOR MOST PEOPLE, FOSTERING SATISFYING PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF LIFE.
A close relationship with a friend, family member or an intimate partner can bring a sense of security, enjoyment and fulfillment. At the same time, no relationship is perfect. Everyone experiences conflict and feelings of frustration and dissatisfaction at some time or another.
There are some common features of healthy relationships. These include: having the freedom to be your own person having room for your own interests and other relationships being able to make your own choices without pressure or coercion being able to express yourself in a way that is respectful of you and the other person trying to understand and accept the other person's feelings and opinions, even when they are upsetting to you or you disagree with them
We all have particular ideas about what a healthy relationship involves. Many people see the following as important:
respect emotional closeness trust spending time apart appreciating the other's qualities common, as well as different,
interests talking and listening
nonviolence affection willingness to work on problems
together honesty enjoying time together taking responsibility for how you
commitment contribute to relationship problems similar basic values belief that the other person is
responsible for his/her own life
WE ALL HAVE DISAGREEMENTS. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN WE ARGUE WITH FRIENDS, ROOMMATES, PROFESSORS AND PARTNERS. THE CHALLENGE IS TO MANAGE CONFLIC T IN A WAY THAT IS RESPEC TFUL AND PRODUCTIVE.
Here are some tips to help you maintain healthy relationships by improving the quality and outcome of your arguments.:
BE CALM. Take time to settle down. Clarify what you are angry about and what you hope to get out of the discussion (e.g., negotiate a different way to share groceries; have a professor explain why you received a lower mark than you expected). If possible, have the discussion when you and the other person have privacy and time to talk.
ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY for your part in the conflict (e.g., yelling back).
AVOID "LOSING IT". Although the saying goes, "sticks and stones will break my bones...", some words can actually be very damaging. Try and avoid saying things that are hurtful or that you might feel in the moment, but not in the long run (e.g., "I hate you!", "I can't stand living with you").
DON'T WAIT TOO LONG before talking about what is bothering you. In intimate relationships, grievances can build and fester, making the situation worse.
STICK TO THE POINT AND STAY IN THE PRESENT. Avoid using the argument as an opportunity to raise issues from the past.
RESPECT FEELINGS. Avoid the temptation to tell the other person that what they feel or think doesn't make sense or isn't justified. We all have the right to feel the way we do.
LISTEN. As difficult as it is, often the most helpful thing you can do in a disagreement is work to really listen to what the other person has to say. Communicating that you understand (without necessarily agreeing) often diffuses anger and helps people work toward a shared resolution.
AGREE TO DISAGREE. In many circumstances, it is reasonable to express an opinion without needing the other person to agree or change their position.
RECOGNIZE THAT THERE MIGHT NOT HAVE TO BE A WINNER OR A LOSER. The outcome could be a compromise, or it could involve both parties admitting some fault. If you get your way, don't gloat or rub it in. Respect the strength it took for the other person to concede.
ALLOW THE DISCUSSION TO END. When the discussion is finished, resist the temptation to add comments or have the last word. Know when to put it to rest.
Saying You Are Sorry
At some time or another, we all do things that hurt others. Showing up late, making an insensitive comment or accidentally damaging something can put a rift in a relationship. An insincere, poorly delivered apology, however, does more harm than good. It's the act of apologizing that often re-establishes goodwill. Learning to apologize well goes a long way toward maintaining satisfying relationships.
When to apologize
The very best time to apologize is as soon as you realize you've done wrong. It can be tempting to try to relieve guilt by letting time pass, making an excuse, blaming others or even lying. However, your impulse to wait or avoid is a strong signal to you that it's time to act honorably. While it's often uncomfortable, or even difficult, it's worth doing.
When not to apologize
Some people find themselves constantly apologizing, even when they've done nothing wrong. If you find yourself apologizing for things beyond your control (e.g., someone's bad mood, the limits of your own time, your parents' decisions), then it's time to stop. This "false apologizing" distracts attention from real issues, waters down real apologies and sends you and others the (incorrect) message that you are responsible when you're not.
How to apologize
Acknowledge that you've done something wrong. Tell the person you have wronged the extent of the offense. Start by saying what you did, using accurate language. Accept responsibility.
Explain what you've done. Don't make excuses. When you explain why you did what you did, both you and the person you've wronged can have increased confidence that it won't happen again.
Express your regret. Apologies have little meaning when they are offered without an expression of sincere remorse. Telling someone you've wronged, "I'm sorry you feel hurt" removes blame from you and leaves the other person feeling even more offended. Say, "I'm really sorry for my hurtful actions. I shouldn't have done that and I won't do it again."
Make amends. Once you've apologized it's time to make reparations (e.g., start showing up on time, stop making hurtful comments, replace the item you damaged). Ask, "What else can I do?" When an injured party feels listened to and valued, you've gone a long way toward repairing relationship damage.
Once you've apologized
Offering a sincere apology should help you feel better about yourself because you have been brave, honest and committed to making a relationship work. You've also shown a willingness to accept your own imperfections and a desire to do better next time. Forgive yourself and move on. Remember, though, that no matter how real the apology, the person who has been wronged always retains the right to forgive or not.

Identifying an Abusive Relationship
ABUSE IN INTIMATE REL ATIONSHIPS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. MOST COMMONLY, WOMEN ARE THE VIC TIMS. STEREOT YPED BELIEFS, MY THS AND BEHAVIOR ABOUT SEX ROLES FOR WOMEN AND MEN, AND ABOUT WHAT TRUE LOVE IS, ARE OFTEN AT THE ROOT OF ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR.
Women and men in our culture are often socialized to believe that women should be accommodating, care for others at the expense of themselves, and to please men. Women and men are also socialized to believe that it is men's job to protect women, to be in control at all times, and to "call the shots". Further, many young women and men believe that they must be in a relationship to be whole. They believe that they should devote themselves totally to their partner, often to the exclusion of other relationships and interests. Jealousy and possessiveness are sometimes seen as a sign of true love. When a relationship begins, the individuals often feel connected and committed to each other. Usually, there is little tension and few disagreements. Neither can imagine problems in the relationship. This is a very reinforcing stage in the relationship. Abuse tends to develop gradually over time and because the couple feel so connected, they may minimize the significance and impact of abusive behavior. However, abuse is about power and control, not about respect and love. Believing that any relationship, even an abusive one, is better than no relationship at all leaves individuals without the support that they need to leave an unhealthy relationship. Emotional abuse is the foundation of all types of abuse, including physical and sexual abuse.
Emotional abuse may take the form of one or more of the following:
ISOLATION: exerting control over what she does, where she goes, who she spends time with, who she talks to.
VERBAL: put downs; criticisms; name-calling; mimicking; twisting reality (i.e. making her feel like she is crazy or over-reacting, defining the truth, defining her motivations); threats to hurt her/someone she loves/pets; threats to take the children/or using them to get at her; sarcasm; teasing; swearing at her; ridiculing in the presence of others; treating her like a child; muttering at her; purposefully breaking promises; interrupting her.
USING HIMSELF: threats of suicide; sulking; silent treatment; withdrawing affection or sex; unwillingness to resolve conflict; strutting and posturing; storming out.
INTIMIDATION: instilling fear by using looks, gestures, tone of voice; yelling; smashing or destroying things; driving recklessly.
BLAMING: not taking responsibility for his own actions, words and/or feelings.
ABUSING MALE PRIVILEGE: telling her "women are all the same"; degrading her based on her gender; acting like "the king of the castle"; treating her like a slave.
CONTROLLING RESOURCES, TIME AND SPACE: making her ask for money; preventing her from holding down a job; taking her money; withholding information; denying her use of the car; not allowing her privacy or quiet time; interrupting her daily schedule (e.g. meals, sleep time, attending to commitments outside of the relationship).
Often, emotional abuse is the prelude to other kinds of violence, such as:
PHYSICAL ABUSE: slapping; kicking; punching; shoving; shaking; pushing; pulling; pinching; stabbing; dragging; hitting with hands or objects; biting; scratching; burning; restraining; any physical force or intimidation.
SEXUAL ABUSE: any unwanted sexual contact ranging from non-accidental touching to forced intercourse; someone touching or looking at your sexual parts without your consent; being forced to look at or touch the sexual parts of another person's body; being forced to view or participate in pornographic activities.

Predictable Pattern of Abuse
Abuse often follows a predictable pattern, where the exertion of power and control becomes intensified over time.
1. Honeymoon Phase: Typically the cycle begins with a honeymoon phase characterized by loving, attentive, harmonious times together. The man who is abusive often dotes on his partner by buying gifts, providing excessive compliments and making repeated statements about how important she is to him.
2. Tension Building Phase: This phase is generally followed by a period of building tension in which the man who is abusive begins to criticize, make accusations, and display excessive jealousy.
3. Incident Phase: Eventually the controlling behavior of this phase becomes more intense and severe, often resulting in degradation and humiliation. There may also be physical or sexual abuse. This leaves the woman who is abused feeling worthless and responsible. She may attempt to calm her partner, anticipate his next actions and doubt her perception that abuse is occurring. It is common for the woman who is abused to deny the significance of what is happening, and to feel ambivalent about whether she should end the relationship. Some people in her life may even encourage her to stay with her partner, leading to more confusion.
4. Remorse and Reconcilliation Phase: Following the abusive episode, the man who is abusive often exhibits remorsefulness and apologizes excessively for his abuse. He behaves in caring ways and promises to cease the abuse and/or to receive counselling. This creates a false sense of hope that the abuse will not recur. Again, the woman who is abused often believes that she is responsible for helping to make the relationship work, so continues to modify her behavior with the hope of de-escalating or preventing his abuse. She is most vulnerable at this time in the cycle. His attentiveness and promises are comforting and make it difficult for her to realize the full impact of his abuse.
5. Resumption of Tension Phase: Over time, tension builds again, promises are replaced by threats and the abuse escalates. These phases of abuse WILL repeat over time and WILL become more intense and dangerous. Outside assistance is necessary to break this pattern.
Understanding abuse is the first step toward leaving an abusive partner, getting help for your own abusive behavior, or helping someone who is being abused.
The Impact of Abuse
ABUSE IMPAC TS PEOPLE IN OBVIOUS AND SUBTLE (YE T POWERFUL) WAYS. OVER TIME, IT:
erodes self-esteem and confidence damages one's sense of hopefulness about life damages the ability to trust self and others impairs one's ability to be assertive increases feelings of anxiety and fearfulness contributes to feelings of depression shatters one's beliefs that the world is a good and safe place
results in nightmares and vivid memories of being abused leads to social withdrawal, isolation and loneliness decreases one's ability to take care of oneself impairs one's ability to maintain satisfying relationships with
others leaves one vulnerable to further abuse leaves one more vulnerable to becoming abusive
Abuse is always the abuser's responsibility PEOPLE HAVE
THE CHOICE TO BEHAVE IN RESPECTFUL AND NONVIOLENT WAYS. ABUSE IS NEVER THE RESULT OF ANYTHING
THE ABUSED PERSON HAS SAID OR DONE.

What to do When There is Relationship Trouble
In all relationships there will be times when you feel closer to each other than at other times. It is important, however, to watch for and respond to the signs that a relationship is in trouble.
Signs of relationship trouble
you stop talking and listening to each other substance abuse/problem gambling excessive jealousy cheating controlling behavior lying frequent criticisms
emotional abuse non-mutual use of pornography physical abuse you stop seeing your family and friends sexual abuse not feeling understood not feeling supported
What to do when there is relationship trouble
Trust your instincts. Live by your own values. It is important to be true to yourself. Talk to people you trust. Seek professional help if you have questions about whether couple counselling could be helpful. Let it be ok if your partner will be upset, angry, sad or lonely if you break-up. Relationship break-ups are difficult and stressful
experiences. It makes sense for people to react when someone leaves. Trust that, as an adult, your partner can find a way to cope without you. Seek professional help right away if your partner threatens to hurt you or him/herself if you end the relationship. If you have questions about whether there may be abuse in your relationship, check it out with a counsellor. If you know you are in an abusive relationship, seek help to leave. Maintain your supportive relationships with others and accept their help.
Check the library for books about relationships. Below are some suggestions.

When a Relationship Ends
WHEN AN IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIP ENDS IT IS ONE OF LIFE'S MOST STRESSFUL OCCURRENCES. GRIEF IS THE MOST COMMON RESPONSE TO THIS T YPE OF LOSS. IN FAC T, GRIEVING THE END OF A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP IS ADAPTIVE; IT IS NEITHER A WEAKNESS NOR A THING TO BE AVOIDED.
The grief you feel after a break up may be complicated by prior experiences of loss, traumatic events surrounding the relationship (e.g. physical violence), a history of difficult relationships, or other social or personal factors (e.g. lack of social support). It can be especially helpful to seek assistance when a grieving process is complicated by other factors or events.
Some normal reactions to the end of a relationship include:
THOUGHTS disbelief confusion preoccupation misgivings second thoughts "what ifs"
FEELINGS anger guilt relief anxiety sadness hopefulness loneliness resentment abandonment emptiness
lack of energy
tightness in your throat
weakness in your muscles
hollowness in your stomach
dreams of the other
avoiding going to classes
treasuring reminders of the
FOLLOWING THE BREAKUP
Immediately following a breakup, many individuals report experiencing a period of numbness or shock. This may occur whether the loss was anticipated (as in the case of a mutual decision to separate after
repeated discussions), or was unexpected (as in the case of one partner suddenly announcing the dissolution of the relationship).
Following this period of shock, people may experience a time of intense emotional upheaval, during which the full impact of the loss may be experienced. Here, your emotions may be overwhelming and temporarily interfere with your academic, social, or family life. The severity and duration of a grief reaction
will vary from person to person.
For most people, the intense emotional pain of grief subsides. Eventually, energy is refocused on the future and new relationships.
If your grief response does not gradually lessen in intensity or, over time, continues to interfere with your academic, social or occupational functioning, then you may benefit from receiving assistance.
Avoid letting difficulties resolving grief turn to depressed mood.

The Love of God is unlimited, expansive and unconditional. It is present in all of creation, fully active everywhere, all the time.
This Love, expansive and unlimited, inclusive and all-powerful, is present and available in me and through me.
I have full access to Love. I practice releasing all blocks to love. I practice forgiveness and my heart opens to a fuller, deeper experience of Love. Love of Spirit sustains me and lifts me up and I find my way moment to moment to live in Love. I breathe in Love, I am Love wherever I go. I wake up in love with life. My energy is restored by Love. Love brings me to joy.
I am grateful for this realization about my relationship with Love and how Love is in me and my life.
I release this Word of prayer in faith and trust.
And So It is.

I’m almost fifty years old. I came to live with my father when I was thirteen. By that point I was damaged, angry, rebellious and at the beginnings of my drugging a drinking career. I’m not sure my dad saw these things, even if he had, it didn’t seem to matter. I am his son. It took me a long time to understand what that meant. It didn’t take my dad very long to understand what it meant to be a father. And a good one at that.
Circumstances kept us apart for eleven of my first thirteen years and circumstances brought us together again. I can’t begin to express how grateful I am. It was, however, bittersweet. That is a post for another day. Someone remind me to share that story.
Despite my crazy making ways, my dad still loved me. He may not say it very often, but I don’t need to hear it. I can tell. I can feel it, even across the distance of nearly 4,000 kms. I just know.
As I said, he took me in and loved me anyway. Him and his wife, Wendy did for me what nobody else could. They stuck with me until I learned to stick with myself. He loved me in spite of my terrible behaviour, he loved me when I thought I was unlovable. He loved me until I could love myself. What a gift my dad is.
I will call my dad today, like I do almost every Sunday. We will talk about the weather, politics, religion and I may come up with what I think is a witty comment and he will give me his favourite dad-ism; “Give your head a shake!”.
My dad may not always get me and I may not always get him. We may have differing views on politics and spirituality and we may not like the same teams but if pitted against a common foe, god help the poor bastard. I was never physically harmed by my father, I didn’t need to be. He looked at me in that dad way and I knew I had to straighten up and fly right.
I am near fifty years old and I still don’t want to disappoint my dad.
The greatest compliment I can ever give myself is “Oh my god, I am turning into my father!”
I love you dad.


I have always felt slightly strange, even confuzzled as we like to say in our house, when my daughters have said, for the first time, that they are bringing their partners home to stay with us. As a dad I can’t help but ask ‘will I like them,’ ‘are they good for my girls,’ ‘is it serious,’ and ‘will their relationship be fruitful’ (I don’t actually use this word in everyday life, but since this is a church blog……….)
Thankfully I like both my daughter’s partners enormously. I think that they are both enjoying relationships, to borrow a phrase from Archbishop Justin, of ‘stunning quality.’ I am pleased for both of my girls and genuinely couldn’t care less that one is in a heterosexual relationship and that the other in a gay relationship. Once again: I really couldn’t care less. In fact I would want to go further and say that I am trilled, overjoyed, excited for both my girls.
I am thrilled, overjoyed and excited for a very simple theological reason: what I see in them and the quality of their relationships is something of the image of God. They, and their relationships, bring me right back to that most foundational of scriptures, Genesis 1, 26: ‘Then God said: ‘Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness.”
When I look at both of my daughters and their relationships what I see is loving-kindness, healing from significant (and sadly to an extent church ‘sponsored’) past hurts and pains, compatibility, complimentarity, dignity, purpose, possibility and strength.
What I see is the very image of God.
I freely admit that it is an image I see as though in a ‘mirror dimly,’ (1 Corinthians 13, 12) but it remains the image, the glimpse, I have been privileged, and graced, to see. Having glimpsed the image I have found myself captivated, enchanted, tutored, and changed. I guess that’s how Love works? I want to belong to a church that above all else allows Love to work; that is my deepest desire. My core belief is that nobody she be excluded from Love’s work and that where we see, even through a ‘mirror dimly,’ Love at work, our response should be to name it, affirm it and bless it.
As I reflect on the Preface to the Marriage Service (not, let the reader understand, that I am hastening them towards marriage) I can see no reason why relationships such as theirs shouldn’t be a pilgrimage towards ‘maturity in love,’ and I already know, without absolute certainty, that in ‘good times and in bad,’ through the (spiritual) quality of their relationships they have found ‘strength, companionship and comfort.’ I see no reason why their relationships shouldn’t both be signs of ‘unity and loyalty.’ I believe with all my heart that relationships such as theirs ‘enrich society’ and ‘strengthen community.’
The only problem is that I would, as a Parish Priest, be able to bless just one of their relationships, the heterosexual one, despite the fact that they are both of ‘stunning quality;’ despite the fact that through both of the relationships what I see is the very image of God.

In this special gathering Supreme Master Ching Hai announced the good news that the Earth had been saved to continue for at least 58 more years and that 99.9% of world’s population had been uplifted to at least the Third Level.

Are your parenting approaches a big source of conflict in your relationship ?
What are some communication patterns around this ?
Are we using Instagram parenting Gyaan as a way to feel superior to our spouses ?
Is parenting a team sport or does it feel like one more battleground and power struggle between the partners ?
What happens in your body when your partner's facial reaction/tone/body language changes when they parent your child ?
Is each parent reacting from a place of their own childhood wounds ?
Do you feel mutually supported in your own parenting journeys ? Is there love, empathy and acceptance for each partner to do their own work ?
Are your parenting values fundamentally aligned ?
What are some major areas of conflict? Hitting, yelling, academic achievement, food, sleep times, religion?
Parenting can feel like a custody battle, and then it becomes about who owns or controls the child rather than prioritizing connection, both between adults and with the children. Families being involved can add to this "battleground parenting" where one or both spouses have no intention of leaving the marriage but parent as if in the middle of a custody battle, constantly. It is about which side of the family "wins" the child.
When parents share details of conflict in the marriage with the child, they maybe asking them to take sides.
Children ,then grow up resenting this toxicity that they did not ask for. What are emotional boundaries in parenting ?
If you are parenting with significant differences in parenting value systems, I see you. You are also dealing with your own childhood triggers as you see this unfold. You may also be shamed for wanting to parent differently, or actively discouraged from doing anything different. I am sending lots of respect and empathy your way. Just know that every little change helps, and benefits your child in the long-term. This work is not in vain, even if you do not see any near-term validation from adults around you.

1) Things will go slow
She may want to take things slow. It’s not because she’s not into you- far from it! She’s probably really into you, but she’s not used to bringing someone in so close to her.
2) You will sometimes be out of the loop
She will keep you out of the loop at first- and often. She’s not trying to hide from you or avoid you- she’s just used to doing her own thing whenever she wants without telling anyone, and it’s become second nature to her.
3) She’ll want to stay independent
She definitely will not let you do things for her- even things that you would do better. She’s gotten as far as she has on her own strength and will, and she will have a hard time letting that go at first, even to you.
4) She’ll fight- and expect you to fight back
She’s used to being tough, and she won’t back down in an argument. She doesn’t want you to back down, either- she wants to know that she’s found someone who respects her enough to argue back.
5) She’ll need her space
More often than not, she’s going to need her own space because she’s used to having it. Give it to her- chances are the more she likes you, the more she’ll need the space to sort out her feelings of attraction.
6) She won’t always be good at reading you
She’ll take things at face value, and when she tries to read you she’ll sometimes mess it up. She’s not used to connecting, so you need to give her space to learn, love, and trust you.
7) She won’t let you in at first
She’ll be wary and guarded at first. She’s afraid of how much she likes you, and she wants to know that you’re worth giving up some of her independence for. So be patient when she keeps suddenly pulling away- only to come back a little closer each time.
8) She might come off pretty strong
She’ll often come off strong, outspoken- maybe too much so. But don’t let her push you away- she’s not used to being soft or kind as an independent girl. Be patient and help her reveal her softer, kinder center.
9) She’ll be direct
She won’t beat around the bush. She’ll ask you how you feel about her, what your plans are, what you see the two of you as. Subtlety is not her strong point, and she expects to see all the cards on the table.
10) She will be stubborn
She’s been independent and in control her whole life- so she’s not used to not being in control of the decisions. She’ll get used to any help and suggestions you can offer- in the meantime let her realize that you can offer her things she can’t offer herself.
11) She’ll seem aloof and uninterested
She’s not used to this sort of relationship, and she’ll be figuring it out: give her time as she works out how to be vulnerable and open up to someone.
12) Don’t push her trust
She won’t open up, not right away, and she will only gradually give you a little trust at a time. Let her take the time she needs, and don’t push her into more than she’s ready to give- she’ll find her way to you in time.
13) She’s scared, but she doesn’t want you to see it
She’s scared- this is all unfamiliar to her, and she is scared to hurt or be hurt, scared to love or be loved, scared of what might happen to her once she commits to you and you leave her.
14) She’ll be passionate once she accepts you
She might seem reserved and aloof at first, but that’s hiding her true passion: once she opens herself to you fully, you can guarantee a passion and tenderness that has no equal.
15) She’ll be vulnerable
When she does finally open up to you, she’ll be vulnerable and terrified- completely exposed. Be gentle, loving, and kind- show her that she was right to open up to you and your love.
16) She’ll be unforgettable
Once she opens up to you, your world and hers will change. Whether you stay together or split down the road, she is like a force of nature: she will change you forever, her love something unique, powerful, and unforgettable that will never leave you.


Other Women: Three Flash Fictions
by Cathy Ulrich
All the Small Things
On Thursday nights while she is at her book club, your lover goes to his fiancée’s house and moves her things around. Only small things, turning spoons backward in the silverware drawer, inching her sofa away from the wall. He says she never dusts the headboard of her bed. He says she twists and twists the ring on her finger, like it doesn’t fit, he says, though it is perfectly sized.
What I like about you, he says, is you don’t expect things to stay the same.
You nod and smile, and wait in your apartment in the dress he likes and the pearl earrings from the bottom of her cluttered jewelry box that he says she hasn’t missed, and your phone stays dark and quiet.
A Tree Falls
The girl with the dolphin tattoo is getting ready to meet your husband for dinner. She applies her lipstick to a French pop song. She is thinking of how your husband’s breath caught the first time they kissed, the way he held her too close too long, the way his desire felt like a kind of power.
She isn’t thinking of you. Sometimes the girl with the dolphin tattoo does think of you. She thinks of you the way she thinks of all women like you, married women, like her own mother, thinks of you cooking pot roasts, sewing buttons on coats. Thinks of you disappearing, ceasing to exist, when no one is around to witness you.
The girl with the dolphin tattoo knows that is a selfish way to think of things, her own mother, her lover’s wife. She blushes at the idea of a lover; she darkens her lipstick.
The girl with the dolphin tattoo is young. She knows that makes her special and makes her common, like all the other girls who are young and have dolphin tattoos. Hers is on the top of her foot, where she can cover it with a stocking if she wants. She likes when the dolphin’s face pokes out from her sandals in warm weather.
When she got the dolphin tattoo, she went alone. She paid in cash. The tattoo artist had cold hands, played Johnny Cash, Ring of Fire, Ring of Fire.
Did you know you’ve got that on repeat, she said.
Helps me concentrate, he said, ran his cold hands over the bare bones of her foot. The girl getting the dolphin tattoo stared at the wall while the work was done. The pain wasn’t so bad, she thought, like someone pinching her or biting softly, over and over.
The girl with the dolphin tattoo left the tattoo parlor limping, not because it hurt but because it made her feel like her dolphin tattoo was a real thing, had changed her somehow. When she got home, she put lotion on the tattoo, put her own hands on the small bones of her foot, thought how different it was to be touched than to touch yourself, something about the intent.
The girl with the dolphin tattoo is thinking about touching your husband, thinking about the way he flinches reflexively before relaxing when she does. She is thinking about after dinner with your husband, bringing him back to her apartment, bringing him home. And she will put Johnny Cash on the stereo, lean your husband back on the couch, put her hands on his chest, straddle him in her hitched-up skirt, play Ring of Fire, play Ring of Fire.
And she thinks that will be something like love.
All the Love Stories Are Really Lies
The man on the television show is saying to the woman on the television show I love you. He is saying I love you to the woman on the television show and they are both beautiful in a broken-eyed way, and he says I love you and they don’t kiss and there is something so romantic, you think, that they haven’t kissed, that they aren’t kissing, that the woman just nods when he says I love you, lips parted, like she is tasting the air between them.
And before you turned on the television, you were lying in an unfamiliar bed, stiff like all hotel beds are, you thought, lying on your back, staring at the ceiling, said to your lover if I lived here, if I were here instead of so far away, would you leave her for me?
He said that’s not very fair and you couldn’t look at him, I know, yes, it’s not very fair.
He said I’m going to take a shower and you nodded and sighed when he left the bed, turned on the television to watch this declaration of love, which is, after all, only a lie.

Yes, there we were, together again! The Grizzly Badgers! We came, we saw, we ate turkey, played games, and managed some good conversations. A wonderful family Christmas, three generations enjoying each other's company. And the turkey was pretty good, if I do say so myself.
Now it's back to our separate realities, but we move forward with good memories and the anticipation of more to come in the future.

I open the box, and Brannen and I are staring at her new pal...Tony. Tony the Triceratops.
You can't make this stuff up...
They watch Baby Einstein together ever morning. She loves Tony. She giggles and squeals at him whenever she first sees him for the day. I think it's hilarious that my husband sent his 10 month old baby girl a TRICERATOPS!!!

Hello readers :) Thanks for checking out my blog. I hope you enjoyed Ricochet book one of the Out for Justice series. I am excited to announce Out for Justice book 2 will be Frost and Seth's story. The book is currently with my editor. Hopefully - keeping fingers crossed - Book 2 will be released sometime in September.
Excerpt from Frost and Seth's story (Untitled)
(Unedited of course! :)
“That man is so dreamy,” Seth sighed turning his gaze away from Asher Grayson code name Frost.
“Jeez, poor Dennis.” Noah laughed and nudged his shoulder.
Mentioning his current boyfriend had the effect of a cold bucket of water.
“Things okay at home? ” Noah asked turning to study him.
Seth avoided Noah’s searching gaze but after a moment he admitted, “I don’t know. Lately, I can’t get a read on Dennis. He’s distant and angry most of the time.”
“What’s going on?”
“I don’t know. I’ve tried to talk to him. He just shrugs me off.” Seth found the damp paper towel in his hands suddenly fascinating.
“You deserve to be with someone who makes you happy,” Noah said softly.
He rubbed the towels along the counter. Noah had never made it a secret that he didn’t like his boyfriend. So really, Noah wasn’t the best person to talk to about Dennis.
Seth wanted what Noah and Mac had. He wanted to love and be loved in return. He wanted that with Dennis. But lately every conversation he had with his boyfriend led to negativity. Either Dennis ended up pissed at him for voicing his concerns or the guy called him a nag and paranoid.
Seth couldn’t ever imagine telling Dennis he loved him. He had an idea about tonight though, a surprise night in with dinner and a movie. He desperately wanted to get them back on even ground. Seth hated when things were strained between them. Dennis was a good guy, he must be doing something to set him off. Once he found out what that was, he could fix it.
Catching a glimpse of Frost, Seth deliberately turned away. Noah was right, he needed to focus his attention on his own relationship and not men who were players.

Great article about affect labeling… Researchers have found that when we are feeling a negative emotion, the simple act of reflecting on and verbally identifying it can help illuminate the provocative event or circumstance and in turn, provide a direction to resolve the problematic sentiment. For example, “I feel frustrated,” stems from a lack of communication with your partner, and encourages you to express your desire for more connection throughout the day. When we are unclear or inauthentic about our feelings (“I’m fine…”), we inadvertently prolong the dissonance.
With positive emotions, there is nothing in need of resolution, so sadly, we do not experience these emotions for very long. Affect labeling allows those positive feelings to linger just a little longer through our thoughts about them. Take a moment to get really specific – instead of “I feel good,” focus in to identify the more nuanced feelings of contentment and hope. This can enhance our positive emotional states with dimension and richness.
Be Well!… Or more specifically, Be Healthy, Energized, and Inspired! ❤

For long-term savers, rising rates are nothing to fear.
Most investors are familiar with the bond “seesaw” showing the inverse relationship between bond prices and rates: When on rises, the other falls. But the reality is more nuanced.
While short-term market fluctuations are never comfortable, investors focusing on their long-term goals should not fear rising rates.
Here are four reasons why.


Nollwood fine face, Tonto Dikeh has advised couples on how not to starve each other of their sexual desires, as she reveals “sex isn’t a sin”.
Tonto stated this on her Instagram page advising couples to always be ready to impress eachother.
She said if as a partner you desire to be given a good head, then ask for it. She wrote, “Let me just drop this right here: Just like you stay improved on your social, spiritual life so you should improve on your sexual life…learn new ways to please and be pleased!! Sex plays a major role in our physical life and relationship or marriage.
“Never starve your partner, as a matter of fact, be always ready to impress. You wanna be a boss, be a boss all around, you love a good head? Open up to your partner, if you are not satisfying them, someone else will. Sex isn’t a sin.”

After your wedding and honeymoon, sit down and begin to work on your thank you notes. Do not send preprinted notes to your guests. They took the time to get you a gift and attend your wedding so give your thank you notes the personal touch. Handwriting your notes and addressing them to each person individually says that you not only appreciated their gift but you valued the thoughtfulness behind their attendance as well. Even if you did not like the gift, you should still send a note to say thank you for the thought. Remember to include a special thank you to those friends and family members who helped in setting up the wedding as well.

“One of the most amazing things that can happen is finding someone who sees everything you are and won’t let you be anything less. They see the potential in you. They see endless possibilities. And through their eyes, you start to see yourself the same way. As someone who matters. As someone who can make a difference in this world.” -Susan Colasanti
Growing up I was raised with images and the understanding that a “perfect” marriage, the best kind of marriage, is one that you spent the first year or couple of years, traveling, getting to know each other as husband and wife, and supporting each other’s careers. These notions were presented to me in movies, books, and very few married couples in my life that actually chose this lifestyle.
If anything, our honeymoon phase of marriage lasted all but 4 months (that’s not to say we haven’t been happy since, we’ve been even happier)! 4 months before we were thrust into a married life as parents.
Many people probably don’t agree, and have actually made us aware that they don’t, with our choices, but would we change it? ABSOLUTELY NOT! Our first year of marriage blessed us with our son. Even though we had to stop thinking of ourselves, we have loved every part of putting Bryan first!
Happy 2 Year Anniversary
The honeymoon phase has faded and the realities of life, family, careers and responsibilities have set in. If anything our first two years have been anything but ordinary! If you think year one threw us a curveball, year two was even crazier!
As if being newly weds and new parents wasn’t enough, this last year we’ve learned what it meant to sacrifice our needs to put the needs of our kids, yup I said it, kids (plural), first! We’re now 2 years into married life with 2 under 2!
In our first 2 years together, we’ve encountered a cross-country move, several career changes, opposite work schedules and 2 babies in diapers.
“If you’re lucky enough to find this person, never let them go.” -Susan Colasanti
I was lucky enough to meet my person 4 years ago and just didn’t know it then. Tory made me believe I was worth it! He made me believe that I was special and meant to be treated in such a way. He encouraged me every time I doubted myself and supported me in everything I set out to do.
Happy 2 Year Wedding Anniversary to my best friend! He changed my life in so many incredible ways! I’m so thankful for him for always being my constant support, love and care! He gave me the world (and more) and he means the world to me!
Here’s to 2 years, 2 kids and a life time to go!

50 Proven Ways To Improve Your Relationship
1. Be yourself. Authenticity is the key to growing a relationship. If you cannot be yourself then you end up playing a charade that ultimately will end badly for you.
2. Be honest. No one likes being lied to and a relationship built upon lies will create an environment of distrust. It is better, to be honest, and upfront, then try to weasel out of a lie later on.
3. Know your values. Spend time examining the type of person that you are and the type of person that you would like to be. If these ideas are not congruent with your current relationships that it is time to do some examination.
4. Schedule Time. Relationships take work. It is important to schedule time with those that you care about. It shows them that they are important to you. It also ensures that you both have time to stay connected throughout the busyness of the life.
5. Touch. The power of touch is amazing. A hug, handshake, holding hands, or even a kiss when appropriate can make all the difference in the world. Reach out and touch someone.
6. Create space. Everyone needs space and space is not a bad thing. It gives a person the area to be themselves and to be an individual.
7. Learn to listen. An active listener is focused on what the other person is saying and is not concentrating on their own snappy comeback.
8. Learn how to be heard. Good speakers are able to order their thoughts and emotions in ways that can be understood. Speak in small segments and ask for feedback to see if the listener understands you.
9. Know the differences. Men and women are different. Moms and dad are different. Find out what those differences are and celebrate them. Differences make life interesting and exciting.
10. Give space. Know when to give your loved one the space they need to cool down after an argument. Let them know that you are there for them when they are ready to talk, but do not pursue them.
11. Give time. Dedicate yourself to spending quality and quantity time with those that you care about. Money is fleeting, but time can be controlled and given.
12. Avoid debates. To most issues, there are two sides and never the twain shall meet. Learn what is important and what you can agree to disagree about.
13. Remember that you’re on the same team. If you approach topics and discussions with the thought in mind that you both have to win for one of you to win, it will help both of you gain insight and understanding to the other.
14. Create shared traditions. Find something that you can do together that neither one of you bring from your home. Make it just yours.
15. Use the element of surprise. A surprise kiss, card, or act of kindness can cover a multitude of sins.
16. Laugh together. Laughing not only releases various amounts of dopamine, but it also relieves stress and creates a shared moment.
17. Share emotions. Many arguments can be avoided if you share how something made you feel with the person you care about. Feelings drive actions.
18. Cuddle time. Spend time getting close and enjoying non-demand touching. A movie and popcorn can create great cuddle opportunities.
19. Do things just because. Do not keep score, returning good action for good action. Do something for the one you care about just because you can, without any strings attached.
20. Have a special greeting. Guys have special handshakes; girls often kiss checks or hug. Find a special way to great your loved ones that show that they are individually valued by you.
21. Passion. Sex is important in a relationship. Ask your partner what turns him or her on the most. Share fantasies. The best place to do this is NOT in the bedroom, but while you are out for a walk or working in the yard.
22. Learn about your partner. Interview them as if you were going to write a biography about them. Ask about their childhood, favorite teachers and the like.
23. Write them a letter. And mail it. Everyone loves to get mail, and everyone loves it, even more, to get mail from someone they care about. Just let them know you are thinking about them. It need not be fancy.
24. Show affection. First, ask your partner what affection is to them. There is no right or wrong answer here. Then, try to fill that need for affection for them.
25. Tell others what you like about them. We often only share what we like about people at their funeral after they are dead. Spend time each day sharing with people you care about what exactly you like about them. Be specific.
26. Compliment the other person. Compliments do not build a strong relationship, but they sure can keep it from squeaking. Be honest and be nice.
27. Find their special need and fill it. Everyone has one or two special needs that they value more than any other need. Find out that need in your partner then seek to be the one they can come to get it filled.
28. Be kind. Sounds simple, and obvious, but we are often kinder to strangers than we are to those we care about because we do not want to seem rude. Be kind to those you care about first, the others in your life can wait.
29. Find a hobby to share. Having an activity that you can share will create shared memories and moments that can carry you through tough times.
30. Find out their love language. People try to express their love in different ways, some by service, some by touch, and others by their words.
31. Read a book together. It can even be the same book. One highlight in blue the other in pink. Things shared that are important to both are in purple, now discuss!
32. Share childhood moments. Most people have moments in their childhood that were significant to them. Take turns sharing such moments and enjoy the closeness that it brings.
33. Share responsibilities. Help each other out and lend a hand. There is no competition or scorekeeping in a relationship. It is a team effort!
34. Buck tradition, find a good fit. If one likes to do the dishes or one likes to stay home and the other likes to work, so be it. Do not worry about what society says one person should or should not do. Find out what works best for you, then do it.
35. Say you’re sorry. The infamous words we long to hear and are afraid to utter. These three words can quickly deflate any argument, especially if said with sincerity and love.
36. Take care of yourself physically. Know when you need to take a break, get some rest or get a bit to eat. Relationships work 100% better when both partners are well rested and well fed.
37. Take care of yourself mentally. Everyone has a mental breaking point. Know yours and share that point with your partner. Let them know when you need some space and what they may need to do or not do to help you out.
38. Take care of yourself emotionally. When emotions run wild, all logic is out the window. It is healthy to cry, to be angry, disappointed, and frustrated. Just do not hold it all in and let it all out at the same time.
39. Face spirituality together. Often this is the one thing couples discuss last. Whether you share beliefs with your partner or not, this is a discussion that is a must.
40. Leave baggage behind. It is okay to share things from the past, but drudging up old skeletons is no way to build a relationship. Leave your past behind you.
41. Create realistic expectations. Share with the one you care about your expectations for the relationship. Then as them to do the same. Then discuss which ones might be far-fetched and which ones might be closer to reality.
42. Create a warm fuzzies box or folder. Keep cards, letters, and mementos from your relationship in a box or folder that is easily accessible. This will help you through those rough times.
43. Control anger. Do not let anger control you. When you feel yourself getting angry, let your partner know what is going on for you and call a timeout. Then return to the conversation when you have had a chance to cool off.
44. Control finances. Children, sex, and finances are the top three reasons couples get divorced. Budget together as a team. Share the burden and responsibility.
45. Forgiveness. Forgive and be forgiven. No one can forget the past, but you can stop holding it against them. Learn from the past and move on.
46. Learn to fight a good fight. Fights are not always bad things. Refrain from name calling, putting down, and needling sensitive areas of the other person. It ups the ante so to speak.
47. Find mentors. Look for people who exemplify the type of relationship that you want. Ask them how they do it and see if they will help you do the same.
48. Family history. Overview of each other’s family history. Understanding leads to empathy.
49. Keep in touch. By email or phone or through notes, let each know that you are thinking about the other throughout the day. Just a quick I’m thinking of you will suffice.
50. No jealousy allowed. Jealousy will rip a relationship apart quicker than a starving man on a Christmas ham. Talk about your feelings, rather then let them brew until they turn into jealousy.

Ali & Ayesha
She was in Ottawa and he was in Toronto. We looked at their specific interests and matched them. Lets hear what they have to say
I was a recent business graduate working at Hewlett Packard, and someone asked me whether I had an intention of getting married soon. I replied, "Inshallah, when Allah wills." The next thing I knew, my mother send my picture and details to Mrs. Khan and I did not even know about it. Soon after this event, I got a call asking me whether I would be interested in a girl who wears a hijab and is from a Punjabi family. I said, "Okay, just let me talk to my mother." The same weekend, my mom had already arranged a meeting, and there was "Allah`s will", we got married and traveled. Thanks to the marriage bureau, which was the means for me to get my Iman completed.
I graduated from University and throughout my time in University, I could not find my "Dream Guy". I mean, he had to be Punjabi, religious, educated and good looking. I was starting to feel that it was impossible to find someone like that. My mother then mentioned to me if I would be interested in a marriage bureau, in Toronto, who helped my cousin get married. I said, "Mom, I doubt they have my `dream guy`." Well, while visiting Toronto, we went to visit Mrs. Khan and she showed us a lot of guys but they were just not my type. After that, when we returned, we got a call from Ali`s parents and now I`m convinced that you can get your dreams to come true!!!


In the spirit of National Family Fun month, here is a story of how two families became great friends at Plantation Suites & Conference Center.
Laura and her family have been coming to to Plantation Suites & Conference Center for years. One summer, about 5 years ago, they met Karen and her family. Both of the families enjoyed spending time together at the pool and chatting. Their children also hit it off! They didn’t exchange phone numbers; however, when Laura and her family came back the following year Karen was there with her family!
Laura commented and said, “Now we have lifelong family friends. Thank you, Plantation Suites and Karen.”
Karen also commented and replied, “We are very thankful for meeting our new long life friends here. Love plantation suites and our new ‘family.’”
It’s neat to watch how people come together here at Plantation Suites & Conference Center. The family environment radiates community, and we are so thankful that people can enjoy the hotel and everyone here. Thank you, Laura and Karen, for sharing your story with us!


Adrenaline and anxiety.
Sharing food. Sharing secrets. Staring into each other’s eyes.
“Sucking his lips off in a Denny’s parking lot.”
Ah, the first date. And not just any first date. The first date that leads to love.
When John Corbett (Ian) and Nia Vardalos (Toula) go out on a first date in My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002 Canadian-American film written by Nia Vardalos, directed by Joel Zwick), Toula is nervous because she used to be “frump girl.”
She’s recently undergone a metamorphosis from insecure girl to confident woman – caterpillar to butterfly – and she doesn’t want Ian to remember how she used to look and act.
Too late. Ian realizes they’ve met before. “I remember you.”
It’s everyone’s nightmare – to be recognized and remembered for one’s worst moment – shy or obnoxious, thin or fat, mean, stupid, slow, or awkward. These moments/phases of our lives haunt us all like skeleton bones spilling out of overcrowded closets, ghosts of ourselves that won’t go away.
Toula holds her breath, hoping her past doesn’t ruin her future, but Ian doesn’t flinch, blink, break eye contact, or run for the door. He looks at Toula with a slow, sensual, steady smile and repeats, “I remember you.”
The gift of love – to be accepted for who we are – Frump Girl and Greek Goddess. This scene wins the prize for most romantic first date. Watch it below (the first date scene is second in the compilation) and feel free to leave a comment below with a first date story.
