" To Ed with Love " ... & Thinking About You During the Holiday Season 💋
I get it now ... to truly have found a love in this lifetime is a blessing. And to have that true love love you back ... you've won it all.
Last week while watching "The Daily Pop" on "E!" , a question was posed " What is better ? Finding your true love OR finding your great love ? " I was so taken back to hear some of the responses by the host; then they read some of the viewers comments on live TV. I was even more shocked to learn that I was not in the boat alone. Those who did find love explained that once having there true love and loosing it, they then gained a great love and stuck with that great love. In my understanding a great love would be someone with a genuine soul, someone who totally has your back and has all of the attributes for being a great partner. With a true love, they have all of these qualities as well, and even with their downfalls you're so deeply captured by every essence of them ... you just respect the wholeness of them .
The host went on to discuss how Lenny Kravitz revealed that he had his true love in Lisa Bonet , and how beautiful of a time period in his life it was while with her. He said " we were young in our 20's , and it was such a romantic time". When asked if he has had anything else like that, he responded " No, not like this ". Yet he explained that it was just different and he'd hope to find beautiful love again, "but it will just be different."
Ed was my true love hands down! He was such a beautiful soul. I feel so blessed to have found a love like that in my lifetime. Some time back I was afraid that I'd never find love like that again. Every bit of Ed was beautiful... he was so selfless.
Now having conversations with my sister, I'm reassured in knowing ... it's okay. I agree with Lenny Kravitz ... I think it will just be different. We live in time, and so as we grow, with that growth we change. So Ed was the soul necessary for that space in time that I had him; he taught me such great lessons . Wow!
Sometimes the holidays will bring these thoughts in your mind, but it's not to run away from but to be in it... experience it, let it settle for a bit and then just leave it alone .
I've heard it said before " To love is nothing. To be loved is something. But to love and be loved, that's everything."
... but I also think " to love " is still something . What do you think?

SINGAPORE: Singapore and India will step up cooperation in maritime security, Singapore's Ministry for Defence (MINDEF) said in a press release on Wednesday (Nov 29).
The two countries' defence ministers reaffirmed the "strong and long-standing defence relationship" between the two countries during the second India-Singapore Defence Ministers’ Dialogue (DMD).

They also welcomed India's proposal of "institutionalising engagements", including maritime exercises, with Southeast Asian countries.
The two countries witnessed the exchange of the inaugural Navy Bilateral Agreement between both countries' chiefs of navy, in which both sides agreed to increase cooperation in maritime security, increase visits to each other’s ports and facilitate mutual logistics support.

Happy Mother's Day
A Mother is the person who loves you unconditionally. It is not always someone who gave birth to you. She is the one who took care of me when I was sick, She gave us a good home. This is my Mother who adopted my brother and I when we were 5 and 7. It takes a special person to adopt older children. Happy Mother's Day Mom!


Morayo glowed. That was the only way to describe what she looked like. Everyone else was looking beautiful and handsome, but Daniel realized his wife glowed. They were man and wife now, standing outside the registry where they had just done the deed and he realized he had never been happier. He looked at his wife again and smiled.
“What?” she asked, “why are you smiling like that?”
“I just realized how lucky I am to be marrying the most beautiful woman on the planet.” He answered as he pulled her in for a kiss. Their first kiss as a couple.
This kiss was different, it was hard and gentle. There was a lot of passion behind it but that paled in comparison to the amount of love in it. They embraced, lost in the kiss for a while, it was Segun clearing his that that broke them apart.
“I know you two are excited to be married and all, but some of us are not comfortable with PDA,” Segun said as he squeezed Tomi’s hands. His fiancée grinned up at him and gave him a quick peck on the cheeks.
The newlyweds blushed shyly. The little group was the only one here for the wedding. Tayo, was absent, a result of a sudden trip out of town two days earlier. They moved towards their cars, talking loudly and mostly ignorant of things around them.
In a car a few meters away, two pairs of eyes watched them. A pair belonged to Kunle and the other to Rosaline.
“Do you see now? She’s his, now and you are mine. I have granted you this opportunity to prove yourself to me. Do your loins still stir at the thought of her?
Kunle looked down between his legs. He tried to will his erection to life. His member remained flaccid and unresponsive. He imagined Morayo naked and beneath him, but nothing happened.
“What about when you think of me, standing above you, my glistening lips above you as my juices drip down my thighs?”
Kunle hardened at her words. He would very much like that, he found himself panting like a dog and wishing she would make good on her words.
Rosaline raised a hand and slowly traced a path from the flat of his belly down to his loins. He jumped at her touch. He needed her, it sickened him, but he needed her. He wanted to be used and degraded in any way that she wished.
Daniel and his group drove away from the registry and Rosaline watched sadly as the car disappeared from her view. She missed teasing Daniel, but he had made his choice and she had made hers. Besides her new toy still excited her, maybe one day when she was no longer interested in it, then she would get rid of it and go after Daniel once again. She squeezed the hardened shaft in her hand and smiled when a groan escaped from Kunle’s lips.
That night, Morayo stepped out of the shower in a towel. She had moved in completely with Daniel two weeks earlier and now her stuff decorated the house. She found her husband laying on the bed, eyes closed and hands behind his head. Husband, the thought sent shivers down her spine. She was married now, and to the most beautiful man on the planet. She climbed onto the bed and straddled him. His eyes slowly happened and he smiled at the sight of her.
“Hey.” He said, “What are you doing?”
“Taking advantage of your body.” She giggled as she leaned in to kiss him. His hands, strong and dependable wrapped around her to embrace her. He felt so safe, so peaceful and she would not trade this feeling for anything in the world.
He rolled her onto the bed, trapping her beneath him. His chest heaved as he looked down at her, a childish grin on his face, “I love you so much.”
“I love you too.”
He kissed her again and this time with more fervor. Their hands roamed each other’s bodies unable to get enough of each other. She found herself moistening and he hardened. They ground against each other as their kiss lingered. She breathed him in, this wonderful existence of a man and he breathed her in just the same, the beauty of her radiated through his mind.
“Take me,” she breathed.
And he did, joining their souls together for the first time that night and the first time as a married couple.

I am sorry it took so long to finish, let’s just say life got in the way and leave it at that.

Painting: William Adolphe Bouguereau///
We often fall for love then something happens and we fall apart. Then we whine- love hurts. How true is that? Let’s examine- what is love! Let’s examine what we fell for in first place!
Love is what we all are. Love is our soul. We are product of love; the whole creation is product of love. Without love there is no existence. Love is ingrained in us. Love is the soul and love is the extension of our soul. Then you may ask me- if love is ingrained in us then why are we not more loving and caring? Yes it’s a valid question.
To have something is one thing, and to utilise that thing is another thing! You may have billion dollars sitting in your bank account but you can be too miser to go for a holiday. You may have talent for painting but you are too lazy to do the hard work of practice to make you Vinci!
For love too, we can be- too miser, too selfish, too lazy and too blind. Though love is ingrained in us yet we don’t use it. We don’t use love because our selfishness makes us blind to see the elegance and opulence of love. Then, we are conditioned to those fear and rumour. We often say- “love hurts”! Tell me- what doesn’t hurt! Life hurts, chest hurts, leg hurts and even your wealth hurts you! If you posses something, it’s bound to hurt you. To have is to be hurt.
Next, let me examine- why love hurts! A true love is something which is you. A true love is extension of your soul. And your soul has the capacity to be expanded to this universe. That’s why in some traditional philosophy, it’s said that- we are part of the soul of the creator. And the soul of the creator is extended to this universe. It means- it is your very nature to love, just for sake of love. Love’s purpose is love; love’s purpose is more love. If your love has any other purpose than love, then it’s not love. Now I know, I am hurting you with bitter truth. Please forgive me. So you challenge me now, you ask me- “hey man, are you the man of this world or a dream world”? Well, if dream is the only way to bring happiness to this world, then why don’t we go for that dream? Let me guarantee you this- if you are too blind to see the beauty, elegance and opulence of love then be sure- you will cause yourself immense pain and suffering. You will hurt yourself but you won’t have any healing power. Because it’s only the love and love’s derivatives like- kindness, care, compassion which have healing capacity.
So what is it, you fall for? Is that a love? Ask yourself honestly. If it is, then be sure- it won’t hurt you! Even if it hurts you, you would definitely heal yourself soon. But if you fall for external charm, beauty, wealth, pleasure etc. then be sure to know, that those things will be lost sooner or later. And then your so called love will vanish. And that parting will not be a smooth one. There will be tears, there will be blood! Because you expect something and you may not get it. Purpose of your love was something else than love. This will hurt you- you will be angry, you will be disappointed, you will be depressed and you will be mad.
To sum it up- love is there with you and the universe, as they are born into existence. We just need to break the wall of our selfishness so that our soul (which is love itself) can grow into this universe. We really need to know what true love is. We can’t have materialistic purpose like gain, pleasure, wealth as purpose of love. Then be sure, love will hurt you; it will hurt you a lot. The only certain way, you can be truly happy is to love more. We can learn to love every moment by being more caring, kind and compassionate to other thing and being of this universe. Love is absolute. It doesn’t happen that you love your son but hate your neighbour, yet you call it love! Either you love everybody or you don’t. What you show as a love to your son, is just another relationship of comfort and materialistic purpose. And that sort of love in future turns to vicious relationship when that son is parted from father, some way or the other.
Please note- not to love is not to have a soul. And not to have a soul is not to have an existence- it’s like we are walking dead-corpse!
I love you all.

What does it feel like to have a truly intimate relationship?
What stops you from being truly intimate?
As human beings we have a deep innate need to feel connected and valued by others. Research shows that the aging process slows down considerably when people have relationships in their lives. Being in connection with others activates our heart it makes us feel alive, keeps our life vibrant.
The true intimacy that one experiences in deeply nourishing and satisfying relationships is more likely to be truly experienced once we have first developed true intimacy with ourselves. So do you know yourself? On a fundamental level we are no different from each other. We all share the same feelings of joy, sadness, anger, stress and fear and we all have the desire to be living a healthy and fulfilling life.
At the same time each and every one of us is unique, our inner landscape...


In the realm of leadership, technical skills and strategic acumen are undoubtedly crucial. However, a powerful but often underestimated factor that sets exceptional leaders apart is emotional intelligence (EI). By cultivating emotional intelligence, leaders can forge deeper connections, foster trust, and drive better results within their teams and organizations. In this article, we delve into three essential components that illustrate the profound impact of emotional intelligence on leadership effectiveness.
Self-Awareness: The Foundation of Leadership Insight
Effective leadership begins with a deep understanding of oneself. Self-awareness, a cornerstone of emotional intelligence, enables leaders to recognize their emotions, strengths, weaknesses, and triggers. By embracing self-awareness, leaders gain clarity on how their emotions influence decisions and interactions.
Cultivate self-awareness through introspection, mindfulness, and seeking feedback from colleagues and mentors. By acknowledging and managing your emotions, you project authenticity and vulnerability, paving the way for more meaningful connections with your team. This self-awareness not only enhances your ability to navigate challenges but also sets a powerful example for others to embrace emotional intelligence in their own leadership journeys.
Actions for Cultivating Self-Awareness:
Engage in regular introspection and self-reflection.
Practice mindfulness to tune into your emotions and reactions.
Seek constructive feedback from peers and mentors.
Embrace vulnerability by openly acknowledging your emotions and insights.
Empathetic Engagement: Connecting Through Understanding
Empathy, a hallmark of emotional intelligence, is the ability to comprehend and share the feelings of others. In the context of leadership, empathy allows you to connect with team members on a deeper level, creating a sense of belonging, trust, and psychological safety.
Practice empathetic engagement by actively listening to your team members, seeking to understand their perspectives, and validating their emotions. Display genuine care and concern for their well-being, demonstrating that you value their individual experiences. By putting yourself in their shoes and acknowledging their feelings, you establish a foundation of trust and open communication that propels teamwork and collaboration.
Actions for Empathetic Engagement:
Practice active listening to truly understand team members' viewpoints.
Validate and acknowledge team members' emotions and experiences.
Display genuine care and concern for their well-being.
Create a safe space where team members feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and concerns.
Relationship Management: Building Bridges to Success
Emotional intelligence shines brightest in how leaders navigate relationships. Effective relationship management involves leveraging emotional intelligence to foster positive interactions, resolve conflicts, and create an environment of mutual respect and cooperation.
Master the art of relationship management by adapting your communication style to different personalities, demonstrating empathy during difficult conversations, and seeking win-win solutions to conflicts. By focusing on building strong connections, you create a collaborative atmosphere that encourages open dialogue, idea sharing, and a collective pursuit of success. Relationship management is not only about achieving results—it's about ensuring that the journey to those results is cohesive, harmonious, and marked by shared achievements.
Actions for Relationship Management:
Adapt your communication style to resonate with different individuals.
Practice empathy and emotional intelligence during challenging conversations.
Seek mutually beneficial resolutions to conflicts.
Create an environment of trust and collaboration that fosters shared success.
Elevating Leadership Through Emotional Intelligence
In the dynamic landscape of leadership, emotional intelligence stands as a linchpin that elevates your impact from good to exceptional. The components of self-awareness, empathetic engagement, and relationship management converge to create a leadership style that is authentic, relatable, and inspiring.
By embracing emotional intelligence, you not only foster stronger relationships and trust within your team but also create a ripple effect that positively influences the entire organizational culture. As you navigate the complexities of leadership with self-awareness, empathy, and effective relationship management, you inspire others to follow suit, resulting in a more connected, engaged, and high-performing workforce.
In conclusion, the journey to harnessing emotional intelligence in leadership is one of immense significance. By weaving self-awareness, empathetic engagement, and relationship management into your leadership approach, you transform the way you lead and the outcomes you achieve. Embrace emotional intelligence, and watch as you build stronger relationships, drive better results, and leave a lasting legacy of impactful leadership.

What is the secret to a good relationship? Sex is vital to just about all happy and long-lasting relationships between men and women. It is not the most important aspect to many. Others mistakenly downplay the role of sex between couples, and attribute any and all emotional issues to other causes.
Here we won’t be talking about what are the best sexual positions, or how to please him or her with your fantastic oral sex techniques. These topics are deserving of their place – many people genuinely are ignorant when it comes to sexual performance and the right techniques to make your passionate feelings translate into orgasms.
A common saying when it comes to satisfying sex, and how to make sure you get it from a potential partner, is: “Try before you buy!”
Some people advocate waiting until marriage before embarking on a sexual relationship, however this is very risky. The man and woman may be totally incompatible sexually, and this could doom their future to failure.
For the following sex advice tips, we are going to apply them to long-standing relationships that had once been characterized by great sex, but somehow this has gone off the rails and become boring – if it hasn’t stopped altogether.
If one or both partners are suffering from a poor sex life, then without adequate communication channels, the problem will never be fixed. If you are miserable because your partner is either withholding sex from you, or rationing it out like a reward, you must let him or her know about your feelings immediately. The longer you leave it, the worse the problem will become.
Sometimes, the reasons may be quite mundane. For example, the woman may have a rash or discharge that she is embarrassed or even ashamed about, and would rather die that let her man know about it. Therefore, she keeps her knickers on at night and pretends to fall asleep. The same could apply to a man. Perhaps he has an erectile dysfunction that he is deeply troubled by, and the more he worries, the worse it gets.
Once a particular problem or problems are out in the open, it is surprising how simple they are to deal with.
If your partner is reluctant to speak about the problem, seek professional help from a qualified sex therapist.
If even this suggestion is greeted with silence, there may be some deeper underlying issues – perhaps even infidelity – and for this you may need the help of either a psychologist or other expert.
If you find out you are being cheated on, then decide if you want to salvage the relationship, or whether it may be better to abandon it altogether.
Once you have established what the problem is with your wife or husband, be aware that some sex problems take a while to sort out. If it is a physical or mental health problem, then it may take weeks, months or years.
When initiating sex with a partner who has been withholding, go gently and treat them with kid gloves at first. If your wife has been reluctant to even touch your penis for a while, don’t expect her to give you the blow job of your life just because she said she is willing to try to reactivate your sex life.
Give your woman or man space to breath. Don’t stifle them with demands. This is the key to getting the “respect” part sorted out.
Always treat your husband and wife with respect in bed. Make sure you give plenty of assurances that you understand whatever problem they have. Sometimes your partner may only want a kiss and a cuddle, and not mind blowing orgasms every night. He or she may be dead tired from working hard all week – you need to respect that.

Patty! As often a really terrific HUB!

Then she realised something. She wasn’t in love with him. She was in love with the idea of him.
This realisation should have shocked her, but it was almost as if she had known the entire time but had just been hiding it from herself. Why shouldn’t she be in love with him? On paper he was the perfect guy. But that was just it. He was almost too perfect. Being with him felt safe, and comforting. The only word she could think of to describe it was ‘nice’. But that was the problem you see. She didn’t want just nice. She craved the type of love you read about in stories, the type of love that was so wild and confusing that it hurt, but in a good way. People would always say to her, ‘but why would you want to feel pain? Love isn’t supposed to hurt’. But she knew they were wrong. The best type of love, true love, did hurt. It hurts almost too much to bear. But that’s exactly why you bear it. After all, if something is worth having then it shouldn’t be easy. How could you appreciate just how good something is, if it isn’t excruciatingly painful when you don’t have it?

Ally falls in love quickly. First she falls in love with a charming actor named Chris she met at an office party; then she falls in love with the charming part he plays on a hit TV show. But when his character is killed off, she and Chris are forced to re-assess the roles they play for each other -- and if they want to keep performing after all. Most TV shows only last five seasons -- should their relationship be the same?

- It might help you bond with your partner, as well as it could be a way of revealing love and take care of them.
- It can soothe stress and anxiety.
Sex can be helpful for your body and physical health and wellness, too. For example, some research study suggests that sex can:
Boost immune function
A 2004 study showed that individuals who made love a lot more often had better body immune systems.
Be a type of light exercise
A 2013 study Trusted Source showed that we get a remarkably good exercise from having sex.
Improve heart health and wellness
A 2010 research found that having normal sex may decrease the risk of establishing heart disease.
Boost cognitive function
A 2016 research discovered that sexually energetic individuals aged 50 to 90 years of ages had better memory.
A 2013 study showed that sex can alleviate migraines or collection migraines.
This does not suggest that people that abstain from sex will most definitely become physically unwell or struggle mentally– it just suggests that individuals that make love might also see enhancement in various other areas. These benefits should not be utilized to shame individuals right into having sex if they don’t wish to do so.
Sex can create an intimacy responses loophole
A 2017 study Trusted Source released in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin showed that there’s a connection between constant sexual activity and overall wellness. It also reveals that sex predicts love and also love, in turn, anticipates frequency of sexual activity. To put it simply, even more sex causes much more sex.
So if you want to have sex, the best thing to do is to have more sex! It may sound foolish, yet it inevitably can enhance your sex drive and also general sex life.
However sex isn’t the only way to have affection with your partner
We commonly equate sex with intimacy. Yet while sex can be an excellent form of intimacy, it’s absolutely not the only way to be intimate with someone. Caring touch, for instance, can be a fantastic way to be intimate.
Some non-sexual kinds of physical affection include:
- holding hands
Past physical affection, emotional affection– including straightforward, prone conversations– can likewise be necessary to many individuals when it concerns partnerships.

Are you also imagining that John experiences deep pleasure from this faux love? If he is, then he's not "in love with" being in love (or not just in love with that)— since he's not in love. And it's interesting that what you actually wrote is of his being "in love with the feeling of being in love" (emphasis added). This raises the further question of whether being in love feels any particular way. If we assume that it does (which seems like a big assumption), then your question is whether we can imagine a situation in which: John is not in love with Hilary; John is having those experiences that characteristically attend, but do not exhaust, his being in love; (perhaps as a consequence) John believes that he is in love with Hilary; and finally John is taking deep pleasure in having those experiences. Putting aside major reservations about the presupposition involved in the description of the second feature of this situation, I don't see why not.My professional reply is that love is like oxygen. You get too much, you get too high. Not enough and you're gonna die.

Takes two to tango, or the Tragedy of the Duchess
I recently watched the movie "The Duchess" starring Keira Knightley, and I am still wheeling from it. I have heard, of course, that it was not historical on some things, but to be honest, I am not terribly interested in that.
It was a story of a woman born to privilege, who was married at seventeen for the politics and status. Her husband wanted only to have a son, and she had no idea what the hell she was getting into. From the beginning she was uncomfortable with her husband- who did not woo her, talk to her, or even get too affectionate while making heirs, if you get me. At one point her dear friend tell her to imagine a man kissing her back as he unfastened her dress, and she replied "They do not do such things." Oh how sad.
Suffering miscarriages and stillbirths, she believed that she as a woman was incapable of carrying a boy to term, as if it was her biological inability. (Oh the irony that it's the man that determines the sex of a child) Her husband had many affairs, sired a daughter out of wedlock, and Georgiana suffered quietly. Dressing extravagantly, going to parties and striving to be winsome and winning, she succeeded in being adored by everyone but her husband. When she did have an affair, one that may have promised love, she was forbidden by her husband to see him, and told her if she did not turn from him, she would be denied her children. (four, by now)
She bore a daughter to her lover, Charles Grey, and went off on "vacation" to be pregnant, and then hand over the tiny infant to her lover's family.
If ever there was a scene that ripped my heart from my chest and stepped on it, it was this. Accompanied by her best friend and her husband's mistress, she took her tiny baby Eliza and in the middle of nowhere, handed her over to a nurse. The baby was silent, until the carriage began to draw away, and then when her daughter began to cry, Georgiana flung herself forward, but her friend was there to hold her, whispering in her ear as G wailed and floundered.
Can any mother watch this, can any woman watch this, and not wither in horror and grief? A loveless life save for her children, a friendship that struggled to continue through the affair wiht her husband, and now this? The abandonment of her only chance for affection, and the giving up of her baby?
My poor husband didn't know what to do with me, as I quailed and silently sobbed as the baby cried. I went and held my sleeping boy in my arms for a long time, savoring his healthy adoring weight.
I watched a portrait of a woman whose extravagant exterior and social life belied a miserable shriveled marriage and a lonely interior life. Her children were her only source of love, and at the same time her burden. There was no blessing without it being mixed. How should I come away from this?
A selfless woman, who sacrificed her own happiness for the well-being of her children? A poor mistaken soul who suffered for no good reason? I think the movie lends itself towards the former interpretation, but truly, there was no overwhelming moral lesson. I found one moment interesting.
She confronts her husband after many years of affairs and failed pregnancies- after he has bedded her best friend. After exploding at him, she finally, in desperation and pure vulnerability, asks him "What is wrong with me?" implying his lack of interest in her. He goes to her, face full of concern and sorrow- and she leans towards him. Before he touches her, though, she shudders away and shakes him off.
There was one single moment where there might have been something real- a seed of possibility. Personally, I believe that no matter how ugly, a marriage can be patched up and given some kind of life. It takes a hell of a lot of work, and requires that one be completely vulnerable, and then be willing to continue with that. If she had let him hold her, as she so desired, if he had accepted her as she so wanted, (which it seemed he would) then their love might have become real. I believe the movie does make it clear that she wanted her husband to love her more than any other.
And the truth is, it takes two to tango, right? She wants his love, and he only has so much to give. He has a set idea of what will come of this, and does not believe that he is willing to change. But as the movie proved, he was willing, in some extent. If only they had read "The most important year ina Man/Woman's life." then maybe they would have had some luck!

Q: Happy Father's Day! Who is your favorite dad character in a book and why?Let me start by saying I had no idea that it was Father's Day in other parts of the world. In Australia we celebrate Father's Day in September. So Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there!
As for dads in books, well I guess the obvious one that has probably been said a million times already is Charlie Swan from Twilight. I loved how even though he and Bella didn't talk much or express their emotions openly you could tell that they really loved and cared for each other. Charlie seems like an awesome dad to have. Although in saying that, when me and my friend went to see one of the Twi films (can't remember which one!) we were cracking up laughing at how Charlie was depicted drinking a can of beer in nearly every scene he was in. That's great parenting right there.


This will always be one of my favorite movies… ever. I can’t get enough of it.
(Tangent: Today was a gorgeous day, and it was “hot” at 36 degrees. It would’ve been a perfect day in the city. Now while I’m watching this movie, I wish we did go to the city.)
Anyway, this movie makes me fall in love with love, destiny, fate, and romance. I wish I could put it into more words, but I can’t. These two perfect strangers met, got to know each other in a few hours, and in the end they left it up to fate to bring them back together again. A few years later, both are on their way to getting married to differnet people. Then destiny and fate bring them back together. le sigh*
I can’t help but love the ideas of love and romance, and this movie makes me happy in love with love. 🙂


Correlation of backscatter with bottom topography
Practical data from low frequency sonar operations in shallow water has been analysed to demonstrate that a high degree of correlation exists between the received signal due to bottom hackscattering and the hottom gradient in the direction of propagation, and that the relationship is in close agreement with Lambert's Law for very shallow grazing angles. Results of preliminary studies are presented which show that this relationship may he used to calculate bearing enors in towed underwater systems.

Speaking your truth
Something I was struggling with this last month was communicating my needs in a given situation. When having talked to many students and friends about this in the last month, I noticed that this is an aspect many struggle within their interpersonal relationships.
This can be with a family member; employee, spouse, business partner, friend, or any other relationship that matters in our lives.
A common problem for not communicating our needs is the fear of offending someone if we do, especially when trying to build rapport and fostering connection.
Another tricky part is the "assumptions" (or stories we create) we make about how a given person may react, which defines our core confidence. Why?
We end up compromising our own needs in the end. A lose-lose situation for both parties involved.
So the thought of the month: When you stand in your truth and are confident about your stance, then there is nothing to lose in communicating your needs, your truth. Nada.
When we withhold our feelings of doubt for example, whether it's about a financial disagreement, business arrangement, quarrel, uncertainty of direction, or boundaries that have been crossed, you will never be able to grow the relationship to a healthier level. Clarity is key to finding solution or compromise.
This will not only guarantee peace of mind as to where you stand in the relationship but even inspire respect from your relationships & peers and help build trust with the 'right people' for you.
Remember that solid relationships are built upon trust through open and honest communication.
Always check in with your intention behind why you need to communicate your needs. When it's coming from an honest, confident, integral space, then there is EVERYTHING to gain and nothing to lose. Develop the courage to speak up. Bon courage!


Attachment theory suggests that the bonds that we form as children with our primary caretakers, set the tone for how we will develop emotionally intimate relationships as adults. John Bowlby, a psychoanalyst, attempted at understanding the intense distress that infants experienced after being separated from their parents. He deducted his research down to a motivational system which he called the attachment behavioral system–“designed” by natural selection to regulate proximity to an attachment figure (parent). He later recognized that there are individual differences in the way children appraise the accessibility of the attachment figure and how they regulate their attachment behavior in response to threats. Then came the strange situation.; see the video below.
Mary Ainsworth, a colleague of Bowlby’s, began to study these individual differences through a laboratory paradigm.
“In the strange situation, most children (i.e., about 60%) behave in the way implied by Bowlby’s “normative” theory. They become upset when the parent leaves the room, but, when he or she returns, they actively seek the parent and are easily comforted by him or her. Children who exhibit this pattern of behavior are often called secure. Other children (about 20% or less) are ill-at-ease initially, and, upon separation, become extremely distressed. Importantly, when reunited with their parents, these children have a difficult time being soothed, and often exhibit conflicting behaviors that suggest they want to be comforted, but that they also want to “punish” the parent for leaving. These children are often called anxious-resistant. The third pattern of attachment that Ainsworth and her colleagues documented is called avoidant. Avoidant children (about 20%) don’t appear too distressed by the separation, and, upon reunion, actively avoid seeking contact with their parent, sometimes turning their attention to play objects on the laboratory floor.”
It wasn’t until the mid-1980s that researchers began to consider the possibility that attachment processes may play out in adulthood. Two researchers noted the correlation between infants and caregivers and the relationship between adult romantic partners shared the following features:
- both feel safe when the other is nearby and responsive
- both engage in close, intimate, bodily contact
- both feel insecure when the other is inaccessible
- both share discoveries with one another
- both play with one another’s facial features and exhibit a mutual fascination and preoccupation with one another
- both engage in “baby talk”
End result? Romantic relationships are attachments and that romantic love is a property of the attachment behavioral system, as well as the motivational systems that give rise to caregiving and sexuality.
“If adult romantic relationships are attachment relationships, then we should observe the same kinds of individual differences in adult relationships that Ainsworth observed in infant-caregiver relationships.
If adult romantic relationships are attachment relationships, then the way adult relationships “work” should be similar to the way infant-caregiver relationships work.
Whether an adult is secure or insecure in his or her adult relationships may be a partial reflection of his or her experiences with his or her primary caregivers.”
” Bowlby believed that the mental representations or working models (i.e., expectations, beliefs, “rules” or “scripts” for behaving and thinking) that a child holds regarding relationships are a function of his or her caregiving experiences. For example, a secure child tends to believe that others will be there for him or her because previous experiences have led him or her to this conclusion. Once a child has developed such expectations, he or she will tend to seek out relational experiences that are consistent with those expectations and perceive others in a way that is colored by those beliefs. According to Bowlby, this kind of process should promote continuity in attachment patterns over the life course, although it is possible that a person’s attachment pattern will change if his or her relational experiences are inconsistent with his or her expectations. In short, if we assume that adult relationships are attachment relationships, it is possible that children who are secure as children will grow up to be secure in their romantic relationships. Or, relatedly, that people who are secure as adults in their relationships with their parents will be more likely to forge secure relationships with new partners.”
Reference the picture below for more attachment styles.
Finally, how do we develop a more secure attachment style?
It’s as simple as opening up to your partner by sharing personal details about yourself, including what attachment style you are feeling. It can also be like engaging in activities to increase intimacy such as partner yoga. Other advice includes getting closer with a friend; a grandparent; a sibling (if available); with an adult at school or work; with an adult of extended family; becoming more involved in the community; and going to therapy.
It’s much harder to put in the work than most want to believe. It’s okay if you’re not ready to put in the work that it takes to form a secure attachment, hell, I know I’m not.. I’ve got too much on my plate. But it all starts with awareness and acceptance and then trickles down from there. We’re not all lucky enough to have a secure primary caregiver, but we are blessed with a heart and a brain and it is up to us to take care of it the best way we know how. Even if that means starting with ourselves.
Thanks for reading.

Writing & other encounters
A Dance theater which in based on Talmudic texts and inspired by Dervish dances.
Directing and adaptation by: Ruthie Osterman
Kibbutzim College, Tel-Aviv, 2010
(Rabbi Menachem Mendel from Kotsk)
Two Talmudic “Midrashim” (religious allegories) tell the story of two loving couples. Between these two couples stands a pomegranate.
The married couple, Rabbi Chiya and his wife, do not have sexual relations.
The second couple takes the risk of a marriage offer which is rejected. The two couples experience a moment of internal and passionate awakening which will change their lives.
These are two stories about the fear of intimacy – with myself and with the other. Stories about gracious moments of agreement to be free, to meet myself without masks.

Effects of life history traits and species distribution on genetic structure at maternally inherited markers in European trees and shrubs.
|Authors:||Aguinagalde, I.; Hampe, Arndt ; Mohanty, A.; Martín, Juan Pedro; Petit, Rèmy J.; Duminil, Jéròme|
|Citation:||Journal of Biogeography 32: 329- 339 (2005)|
|Abstract:||Aim To examine relationships between life-history traits, ecological and chorological characteristics of woody plant species and patterns of genetic differentiation among populations as assessed by chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) markers, and to compare them with patterns previously described from nuclear markers. Location Europe. Methods Data on cpDNA variation were compiled for 29 temperate European broad-leaved tree and shrub species. Six qualitative and three quantitative characters of the species were tested for their relationship with two parameters of genetic population differentiation (GST and NST). Both direct species comparisons and phylogenetically independent contrast analyses were performed. Results When the phylogeny was not taken into account, five characters were significantly related to levels of population differentiation. The relationship disappeared in all but two cases (distribution type and seed mass) when analyses controlled for phylogenetic relationships among species. Main conclusions The correlation between distribution type (boreal-temperate or temperate) and cpDNA differentiation of temperate European woody plant species suggests that their Quaternary history, in particular the location and isolation of their glacial refugia, is an important determinant of their present-day level of genetic structure. By contrast, the relationship between life-history traits and genetic differentiation at maternally inherited markers is weaker, especially when phylogenetic effects are controlled for.|

I didn’t fall in love with my husband in a bookstore, but I might as well have.
Early in our relationship my husband proved his love to me in a move worthy of a Captain Wentworth or a Mr. Darcy: he read a Jane Austen novel for me. As I read Persuasion (again) for a graduate course, my husband–a biophysical chemist, not a reader–kept pace with his own copy, getting to know Anne Elliott as he got to know me. I wore that read-along like a diamond.
Is it any wonder we’re living happily ever after?

Dating is complicated. It’s difficult to navigate through the steps of getting into a long term relationship even when both people are totally present. But sometimes one person is more willing to do the work while the other person sits on the sidelines. Sometimes, both people are not on the same page. Sometimes we stay in a relationship so we don’t have to be alone. Or we are so afraid of not feeling loved. Or we need validation through another person.
As a professional tarot reader, I have heard just about every dating scenario. Generally, I speak to women about their confusion in a relationship. Why it’s not progressing in the manner that they would like. What is it that they aren’t understanding and if they should move forward. Some of these situations are unique, but many are boiler-plate. Much of the time the cards have the same message.
The cards don’t lie. They don’t spare your feelings. They tell you like it is because they want you to learn the lesson and evolve. The Universe wants you to find real, honest love and not be stuck in a situation that doesn’t make you happy. But you have to be able to be shrewd in your dating practices and be adamant that you deserve the real thing. You have to see through the b.s. No more living in fairy tales.
Based on the thousands of love readings I have performed throughout the years these are the top three scenarios all women need to avoid and the reasons why.
1. The “When Will He Call Me?” Scenario
This is the most commonly asked question I get when doing readings. It seems innocuous enough but the question is a symptom of a larger problem: stupid outdated rules. I have asked women plainly, “Have you tried to contact him?” And the answers I usually get are: “No way. He needs to come after me! Or, “I don’t want to seem desperate.” Instead, women wait with baited breath and get their hopes up every time their phones vibrate hoping that Potential-Mister-Right has contacted them.
Let’s break down these two answers and figure out what makes them outdated.
1. “No way, He needs to come after me!” — Or rather what I like to call the “Disney Princess Delusion.” It’s what happens when we force our own ideas of what a relationship should look like onto a new dating situation. In this scenario, the man is supposed to do all the heavy lifting. This includes being the aggressor, contacting you frequently to express his interest in you, being overtly romantic, making and paying for all of the dates, expressing his love and commitment to you within three months and in six months time putting a ring on your finger.
All you have to do is be yourself and lap up the love and attention because that’s what a man does when he really loves a woman. He makes you the most important thing in his life and sweeps you off of your feet. He falls in love quickly and unexpectedly. You become the only thing he thinks about and without you, he is lost.
Sounds a lot like one of those bodice-ripper romance novels, right? Or every Disney movie with a prince and a princess in it. All too readily women buy into the fairy tale of what a man is supposed to do. And I didn’t just make those time frames up. Time and time again I have heard about the three month and six-month expectations getting calls from women who are pissed that the dates have come and gone.
This is not realistic. A man with a clear sense of self and good boundaries is not going to become obsessed over you after a few dates. He is not going to give up his whole life for the mere presence of you. They call that codependency and it’s a dysfunction. It’s not how healthy relationships work.
2. “I don’t want to seem desperate.” — There is no reason that a woman in the 21st century can’t text a guy and ask how his day went. This does not make you look desperate. It shows that you are an assertive woman who knows what she wants and has no problem going after it. Confidence is sexy.
The fight for equality is not just for the board room. It’s also for the bedroom. I have talked to men about what they expect when in comes to communication and dating. Most all guys have the same answer which is that they are relieved when a woman initiates contact. It takes some of the pressure off of them and they don’t have to guess whether or not a woman likes them.
My own boyfriend said that one of the things he likes about dating me was that I suggested places to go and I kept in contact with him. He was in film school and sometimes lost track of time. So, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to talk to me. He just didn’t realize four or five days had gone by because he was constantly working on a project.
The point: The Disney Princess Delusion is not real. It is outdated and it will keep you waiting for the phone to vibrate instead of actively dating. Being proactive doesn’t make you look desperate. It’s okay to take a risk and show that you are interested in a guy. They actually like that. Also, if you contact a man and he doesn’t seem interested then you can walk away that much quicker. You don’t have to wait around to figure it out.
2. The “Will He Leave His Wife For Me?” Scenario
I want to preface this scenario by saying I don’t judge women for dating married men. It’s not my place. When a person wants a reading I am here to give advice based on what the tarot cards have to say. Not on what my personal beliefs and morals are. I take special care to compartmentalize my own opinions in order to give the most honest reading possible.
That being said when you date a married man there are some truths that you are going to have to come to terms with and the major one is that he is not going to leave his wife. He may say he wants to leave his wife or that he doesn’t love her or that he is staying for the kids. However, all of these reasons have one thing in common: he hasn’t left nor will he.
There are a lot of reasons why men cheat. They aren’t happy, they are bored, they aren’t getting sex anymore, they feel obligated to stay, etc. Usually, though, they have no intention on actually leaving their wife. They like the safety net and the stability it provides. They like how it looks on paper. The longer the marriage the less chance that he is going to leave his wife.
He may say that he loves you and he probably does. He may say that he wishes he met you first and that things were different and he probably means it. However, he set up the scenario of having a mistress for a reason. It’s because he wanted something simple with no strings attached. He wanted something that was void of the trappings of a real relationship. No kids, bills, mortgages, braces, car payments or in-law dinners, etc. Nothing that dampens the sex or the feeling of intimacy that goes along with it. He wants a vacation from his real life in the form of a person.
To be honest, there is some selfishness in his wanting to be with you. You are really there for his enjoyment and for him to forget about his problems. You are the mistress, the therapist, and the emotional support all in one person. He will either stay detached so not to get too emotionally involved or he will tell you all of his secrets. Either way, you are going to feel a strong connection to him because you are going to realize that you are seeing a part of him that nobody else gets to see. You are going to feel special and rightly you should. He has chosen you to be his confidante.
Here is the where the reality comes into play, though. Remember, that you serve a purpose in his life. And he is not going to want to change that. If he wanted another wife he would have already left the first one. He would already be in search of another. That’s not what he did, though. He created a situation where he could keep the safety of his non-working marriage and have his emotional and physical needs met as well.
He is not going to leave his wife for you. In fact, the minute that you want more from him he is going to resent you. He may stay and promise you things that he has no intention of keeping. He may say that he can’t right now but soon. These are all ways of keeping you at bay in hopes that you will forget or that you will give up.
That being said there is a way that dating a married man can work. It’s about being realistic and honest about who you are and what you represent in his life. If you don’t want a real commitment and you are fine with sex dates and pillow talk he is the man for you. If you are looking to be his next wife be prepared to always be waiting on the sidelines, indefinitely. You are better off being with someone who is physically and emotionally available. Someone who you have a future with. Nobody likes being second best.
3. The “When Will He Commit to Me?” Scenario
This is always the hardest scenario to deal with because there is a time factor involved. If you are asking this question after three months of dating then you might still have awhile until he is exclusive with you. If you have been dating the same person for five years and you ask me this question there is a good chance you already know the answer: he isn’t.
Here is a realistic dating timeline based on my performing thousands of dating tarot readings and polling couples. It’s typical. That doesn’t mean that it’s the set in stone.
Three Months — This is where you start questioning if a relationship is in the works. Do you press forward and make it more serious or do you walk away?
Six Months — This is where you decide if the relationship is worth a commitment. You start calling each other boyfriend and girlfriend. You may have personal items at each other’s house.
One year — This is the time that you question if this is going to be a long-term relationship that could lead to marriage. Or if the fun is over and things have gotten too serious.
Two years — This is the time that marriage starts to come into play. Do you, don’t you?
Five years — This is the big re-evaluation phase. Do you still love the person even though all the endorphins have worn off and the honeymoon period is over? Or is it time to walk away?
Most of my relationships have broken off at the six-month and two-year evaluations. Either because I didn’t want to get more serious or because I knew that it wouldn’t go into the marriage phase. Usually, after two years with someone, you know what their intentions are and you know whether or not they are going to be marriage material. Most people show their true colors by that time.
As with all of these scenarios it’s important to be realistic. If you are under the “Disney Princess Delusion” you are going to expect a ring at the six-month mark. That’s not how most people work. I have heard plenty of stories of people falling in love quickly and being married before the year is up. But what they don’t tell you is that after the honeymoon period wears off they are left with the giant task of having to meander through the practical aspects of their marriage with no background experience and very little wiggle room. Love does not conquer all. You still have to put with all the bad habits of your mate and now you are legally obligated to them.
Sometimes, it’s better to take your time, go through the different phases of a relationship and evaluate all the practical trivialities of what a commitment to your significant other looks like. Don’t worry so much about WHEN he is going to commit to you and worry more about IF you want to him to be your partner. If he has outright told you he doesn’t want to commit BELIEVE him. Take him at face value. Don’t fall into the delusion with some time the idea is going to grow on him and he is going to change his mind. At that point, you are just wasting your time. Years from now you will be calling me asking for a reading about why your man isn’t committing to you after five years. Why hasn’t he changed yet?
Here is the cold hard truth: people don’t change unless they want to. If he says he doesn’t want a commitment with you and you stay that tells him that you accept his terms. You are going to play by those terms until the bitter end unless somewhere along the lines he decides differently. But that’s quite a risk to take and who has that kind of time? Men are very honest when it comes to their intentions. A lot of women confuse the issue by not listening and layering what they hear with their own expectations.
The point is, don’t waste your time on maybe. Listen to what your man says and take him on face value. And be realistic. If he hasn’t given you a ring after five years chances are you are going to be waiting on your death bed. If he hasn’t committed at the six-month mark stop reading so many romance novels and get back into the real world.

"I really care about you."
Funny how five little words can mean so much.
Hearing them felt like someone hugged my heart.
These were pretty nice to hear, too:
"You make me so happy."
"I want to make you feel special."
"I can't wait to see your beautiful smile."
Yep, I think he's a keeper. :)

I don’t mean to be an obnoxious prick, it’s just my default setting. A friend got married recently. We were supposed to meet for a drink. He sent me a text message saying, ‘Can’t do that drink until next week – my wife’s dad had a heart attack and he’s in hospital’. I hit reply and typed, ‘Bad news. Was this before or after he took receipt of the bill for the wedding reception?’ and NEARLY PRESSED SEND. What’s the matter with me?


And together we shall dig graves for all that die in us,
and we shall stand in the sun with a will
and we shall be dangerous.
100% sure im ugly as hell and yet I still expect to be in a relationship with a hot person

Human beings are social creatures, and relationships are essential in our lives. Whether it’s with family, friends, or coworkers, building and maintaining relationships can profoundly impact our emotional and mental well-being. One way to strengthen your relationships is through community involvement.
Community involvement provides an excellent opportunity to meet new people, work together towards a common goal, and build lasting relationships. Whether volunteering at a local food bank, participating in a neighborhood cleanup event, or joining a community group or organization, getting involved in your community can introduce you to a diverse group of people with shared interests and values.
You can connect with people from different backgrounds, cultures, and generations through community involvement. This can broaden your perspective and understanding of the world and its people. You can learn from each other’s experiences and knowledge, which can strengthen your relationships and help you grow as a person.
Working towards a shared goal with others can make trust and a sense of camaraderie. When you volunteer with others, you are all working towards a common purpose, which can be incredibly fulfilling. This shared sense of purpose can create a sense of belonging and connectedness, strengthening your relationships with others.
Community involvement can also provide a way to bond with friends, family, or coworkers. Participating in community events or volunteer opportunities can create shared experiences and memories, bringing you closer together. You can also learn more about each other’s values, interests, and strengths, which can help build stronger relationships.
Moreover, getting involved in your community can help you develop new skills and interests. This can lead to personal fulfillment and satisfaction, positively impacting your mental health and well-being. As you grow and develop new skills, you may have more to offer your relationships, whether through shared hobbies or newfound knowledge.
Community involvement can be a valuable way to strengthen relationships. You can build trust, connectedness, and a sense of belonging by meeting new people, working towards shared goals, and bonding over shared experiences. This can help improve your relationships with family, friends, coworkers, and the broader community. Not only can community involvement enrich your life, but it can also positively impact the lives of those around you.

Jermaine: “I loved her and I still love her, she was God’s gift to be and I never took advantage of it, it’s crazy how you can be so dumb in love, think that nothing can take that away from you how it can never slip through your fingers, then one day bam it’s like you’ve never had it, that’s how I felt when I lost her, but like I said I’m not the one to hold a grudge, I see now that she’s more happier than ever…sadly she looks more happier then how I made her.”

I Just Don’t Love You Anymore
“There is no one else. I just don’t love you anymore.” Over the last several years I’ve heard this from friends whose spouses were giving up on their marriage. IN EVERY CASE, it was discovered later that there WAS “someone else”; even though it was being denied at the time. If you are married you have to be off the market, if you expect your relationship to last. I thought I would repost this blog from August 2008 titled, “Marriage and Divorce: What’s love got to do with it?”
Let’s say the in a world of 6 billion humans, there are 50,000 people you could have met and fallen in love with. Then, let’s say that out of that 50,000, there is an inner group of 500 you could have a far superior marriage with. And a still smaller group of, say, 50 that would be the cream of the crop. And then, there is one of that number with whom you could have the best marriage imaginable. Okay, you’ve got the picture – a lot of concentric circles.
Now, just for the sake of making a point, let’s say here is Fred who gets out of school, takes a job, and one day meets Edna. They are attracted to each other, fall in love, and begin to make wedding plans. They visit the pastor and announce to him, “We want to get married.” And the pastor, being a pretty sharp fellow says, “Why? And they naturally answer (what else?) “We love each other.” To their surprise, the pastor says, “What’s that got to do with it?” “Uh, how’s that?” asks Fred. “Fred and Edna,” the minster says, “There are 49,999 others out there you might have fallen in love with. Just because you love someone does not mean you marry them.” But his point passes right over them and they become Husband Fred and Wife Edna
Then, let’s say within 3-7 years, Fed and Edna have moved to another city and in their neighborhood, Fred meets Louise. Well, spars fly. Fred has just encountered one of his inner circles of 50. (Are you with me now?) He is hooked. Boy, is Louise special. He thinks about her day and night, and soon becomes aware that she feels the same way. Psychologists tell us there is something called ‘the expulsive power of a new affection.’ What that means is that a new love blows the old one out of the water. Compared to the way Fred now swoons over Louise, he is convinced he never did actually love Edna. “At least,” he says to himself, “not in the way a man out to love a woman.” (Remember the roles could be reversed it could be Edna infatuated with another man.”
So eventual, Fred drops in on the pastor and says, “I want to get a divorce.” The minister asks, “Why?” Fred says, “Because I don’t love Edna anymore.” (No one ever admits to the pastor they’ve fallen in love with someone else. No one, ever.) And the pastor still on the ball and to the point, asks, “What’s that got to do with it?” Fred sits there bumfuzzled, wondering why this preacher doesn’t understand simple logic. Doesn’t everybody know you get married when you fall in love and get divorced when you fall out?
“Fred” the pastor continues “You don’t get divorced because you don’t love each other anymore.” “If the two of you are genuine disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ, then the only question is, “What is the will of God? That’s it. If you decided that it is God’s will for you to get married, then that takes care of all the people you will be meeting and feeling attracted to in the future. They are not God’s will for you and therefore are ‘off limits’ to you, and you can get on with your life.
The story goes on to point out that marriage is a covenant between God and a Husband and a Wife. It is not based on feelings but on commitment. Love is an act of the will that flows out of the commitment, not the determining factor of the commitment. So remember the vows you’ve spoken before the Lord and do not break the covenant you establish with the spouse of your youth.


Nik, I met this man Eric Jakubowski a year ago, and I wish I could erase the day we ever met. Almsot the whole year together and I find out he’s married!! With kids, too. This guy spent so much money on me I don’t know how his wife doesn’t know. He is ugly, but a freak, loved to play with strap ons. I had no idea he was married until I got checked yesterday and turns out he’s going to have some explaining to do… nothing a round of antibiotics wont take care of.

Constellations can be brutally clarifying. There is something to learn from my story.
A few months ago, I found myself in a situation which I don’t wish on anyone. I’ve been married for 20+ years and my marriage is not a very happy one.
My husband is a good, reliable person and we went through heaven and hell together raising two kids. But we never had an emotional connection and I was missing it a lot until I met another man. Oh my God! How wonderful it was to finally have a soulmate! Or at least so it seemed to me. Although we did have discussions about our future together, in reality we continued to have mostly virtual relationship with some in-person meetings for years. Don’t judge me. My own burden of guilt hurts me much more than anything I can hear from others.
Long story short, it became a matter of my sanity to make a decision: should I divorce my husband or should I stop my affair. And I was much closer to first option. Believe me, I spent a good deal of time talking to psychotherapist about this decision, but I was too deep in my delusions to dig out the truth verbally. I decided to try a different approach and do a family constellation.
If you believe in energy and information field, then this is the best way to explain why and how it works.
From a group of people who didn’t know anything about my story I chose representatives for roles of me, my husband and the lover and just watched the story unfold. The first representative in the center of a circle was for myself. I watched her starting to bend over, almost falling to her knees as she started feeling the exact burden of guilt I was talking about. Oh yes, that’s how I felt for years. The second person in the circle represented my husband. He tried to come closer and be with me but I (my representative) acted as if he was repulsive to her. Sad to admit, but it also felt true to me. The third person represented my lover. Everything was very simple and clear with him. He (his representative) never attempted to approach me, be with me or communicate in any other way. He just stood there. When Galina Thomas (the facilitator) who was leading the process asked the guy what does he feel about me, he said: “I am aware of her”. That’s how much of the energy he was really ready to invest in our relationship.
Even more. When Galina asked my representative what did she feel about him, she answered:” I don’t feel him as a real person. More like an idea or ideal.” That was my delusion. I fell in love with the image of a guy, not a real person.
My story is not unique. Many people fall in love with an image of a person rather than a real human. And still, everyone including me has to discover it in their own way. Our minds can be so convincing in keeping us delusional.
Constellation lasted about 45 minutes. The rest was about my relationship with my mom, and her relationship with her mom. Apparently it all played a role in how successful I was in my own family. But I already got the answer I came for. I felt like the truth was unveiled in front of me and I immediately connected with it.
It’s not a happy ending in my family yet. Stopping the affair doesn’t automatically means emotional connection with my husband. The good thing is that I feel free. I didn’t realize fully what a burden I was carrying.
Try family constellations for yourself. It’s OK if you don’t have two men to choose from. I saw people bringing different questions to the group: any relationship problems, addictions, chronic diseases, career failures, change the job or stay and many more. Something which feels like you are stuck there.


This story is about one girl who is in love.
One day, she had a fight with the man she loved and ran away from home.
She ran like crazy and found herself lost in an unknown place.
It was as if she was dreaming, forgetting that she had fought with him and enjoying herself.
In the process of doing so, she was able to face her stubborn self and became honest.
Let's go home to make up with him.

Someone once told me that time is meaningless for two people who are in love; that there’s a different kind of magic when you cherish each second you have with your significant other. This is what I realized being with Iggy – something as simple as watching movies cuddled up together can turn into a moment of absolute bliss. Time undeniably stands still when you’re living in the presence of true love.


I just read again “How to Win Friends and Influence People” and noted the following,
*which is a good reminder for everybody in any aspect/subject.
Always start with a compliment
Begin in a friendly way
Criticism is dangerous
Judge not, that ye be not judged
Speak ill of no man
Reward good behavior
How can I make this person want to do it?
Human nature = the desire to be important
Honest appreciation got results where criticism and ridicule failed.
Develop the best that is in a person is by appreciation and encouragement
Talk in terms of what the other person wants
Get the other person’s point of view and see things from that person’s angle as well as from your own.
You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you
Become genuinely interested in other people.
The effect of a smile is powerful
The importance of remembering and using names
To be interesting, be interested
Ask questions that other persons will enjoy answering.
Encourage them to talk about themselves and their accomplishments.
Always make the other person feel important
Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.
Tell people they are wrong = Hurt their intelligence, judgment, pride, feelings and self-respect.
You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him to find it within himself.
Be wiser than other people if you can; but do not tell them so.
If a person makes a statement that you think is wrong = Answer “I may be wrong. Let’s examine the facts
If you are wrong, admit it quickly and emphatical
Get the other person saying “yes, yes” immediately
Let the other person do a great deal of the talking.
Let the other person feel that the idea is his or hers.
Try honestly to see things from the other person’s point of view.
Be sympathetic with the other person’s ideas and desires.
Begin with praise and honest appreciation
Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person.
People are more likely to accept an order if they have had a part in the decision that caused the order to be issued.
Ask questions instead of giving direct orders.
Give the other person a fine reputation to live up to
Use encouragement. Make the fault seem easy to correct.

Valentine’s Day can be a stressful time for many couples. According to research, romantic relationships tend to end around or on February 14, compared to other times of the year. It is likely billions will be spent over the next couple of days in the UK on cards, chocolates, and jewelry.
Most of these items are bought as genuine expressions of love or, for those who prefer to be more economical, as proof of their investment in the relationship. The fact that Valentine’s Day has become so commercialized is also a turn-off. While some people view it as a day of romance and bliss, others find it repulsive.
If you choose to celebrate Valentine’s Day, choosing the perfect gift for your loved one can be confusing. What does a chocolate box mean? How many roses are needed to reflect a level of love truly?
Tradition and expectations may make people feel obligated to spend money rather than want to purchase something beautiful for someone they love.
According to research, for many men in particular, a subsequent coping method is a style of shopping dubbed ” grab-and-go.” It is when someone enters a shop, grabs an item, and pays within 30 seconds.

Women, particularly those in their 20s, are said to have increasing expectations about the Valentine’s Day gift they would like.
Some couples who have been together for a long time expected that the abundance would increase each year. It is not unusual for heterosexual men to think that it’s the woman’s job to create and plan the perfect wedding.
Flowers are a big money maker on Valentine’s Day, and in 2019, a href=”https://www.statista.com/statistics/803395/valentine-s-day-expenditure by category – united kingdom uk/”>PS261 million/a> was spent on bouquets in the UK. In the UK, bouquets cost PS261,000,000 in 2019. research shows the likelihood of receiving flowers depends on the way the recipient views their relationship.
If you feel loved and satisfied, then it is more likely that you will buy flowers. You’re more likely to give flowers along with other gifts if you feel strongly about someone. The least likely to purchase flowers for their partner were those who were “satisfied with their romantic relationship.”
Can’t Buy Me Love
It is worth thinking about a low-key, personal approach to ease the pressure. This will be something the person you love will truly appreciate. Giving branded goods can be seen as more of a commercial message than an expression of love.
When you want to be safe, choose a general gift card. According to research, tokens that are specific to a shop or product tend not to be appreciated as much and end up being unused.
Of course, expressing love and affection does not have to be expensive. In a study of 3,000 couples, those who spend the most money on weddings and engagement rings are the ones that break up the fastest.
A different approach is to accept the research that suggests that real happiness comes from spending quality time with those you love and sharing experiences. Spending money on gifts is not the way to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Instead, focus on spending time together. Do something that will create a lasting memory, not just a bunch of wilting flowers.
