I hope you are happy and well and enjoying the deliciousness of summer. My husband Steve and I have been savoring the long days: hiking, biking, beaching, visiting family and friends, dancing at outdoor concerts, eating fresh veggies from our garden, and swimming in our pool!
I'm feeling VERY grateful, and after July 4th, especially appreciative of my many freedoms, including the freedom to do work I love, and to connect with you. I hope you have a chance to check out my friend Steve Sisgold's new book, my gifts, article and other goodies offered here. May you enjoy your many freedoms, the sweetness of summer, and the rest of this newsletter. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Overcoming Roadblocks to Love: Part 1
 Once upon a time, I believed in fairytales: I thought if I just show up on the road to love... a handsome prince will appear and we'll fall in love and live happily ever after!...I learned that most of the time there are several roadblocks along the way.
After encountering a variety of roadblocks, I've been very happily married to my wonderful husband Steve for almost 4 years. It's no accident that we're an ideal match for each other. Before we met, we learned from our pasts, clarified what was right for each of us, and we both deliberately set out to meet a partner who shared our values, interests and goals. We each took responsibility for creating a great relationship, and every day, we let each other know how much we love and appreciate each other.
So, my first step was knowing I wanted a loving partnership: no ifs ands or buts about it. After working with hundreds of singles and many couples, I've noticed that most people are not so clear. Ambivalence is a common block to love. You may SAY you want a relationship but do you really?
Many clients and friends have told me they want a loving, committed primary relationship but then have all kinds of reasons for not having one..."I'm doing ok alone, I'm afraid a partner might disturb my peace and freedom."..." I'm not sure that what I'd gain would be worth what I'd have to give up."
Does this sound familiar? Are you feeling ambivalent about dating and relationships? What are some of the positive ways your life would change if you got into a primary, committed relationship? What are some of the negative ways your life would change?
Perhaps you are in a relationship right now and you're feeling ambivalent about staying with this person... "I'm not very happy with this person, but it's comfortable and familiar. What if I left this person and didn't find anyone else?"
What are some of the positive ways your life would change if you left this relationship? What are some of the negative ways your life would change?
It's ok to be ambivalent, but it's important to be conscious that you have competing interests. You can overcome ambivalence by making conscious choices. Gather the information you need to make a wise decision. If you are going through a divorce or bankruptcy, a wise decision might be to take care of yourself first, then perhaps date recreationally, just for fun. If you long for a loving partnership, identify what you are looking for and stay committed to having that, keeping an open mind and heart. Tune in next time for more about that! |

And on another topic, for those who are curious, yes we are still planning to adopt a baby, just not the one we thought we were getting (the birthmother decided to keep her baby). If you happen to know anyone who's pregnant and wants a loving home for her child, we'd love to hear from you!
Thank you for taking the time to read this newsletter. I appreciate you very much, and welcome any feedback. I look forward to hearing from you soon and wish you a sensational summer! |
