One of the certainties of growing as a person is that temporarily there is a period of uncertainty. How we handle this “uncertainty” has a lot to do with taking our life forward or staying where we are. Right now I am coaching a woman who finds herself in such a transition point in her life. [...] Today I have a guest post which I wrote on my blog http://budurl.com/rekindle. I am not sure if that makes it a guest blog; however, I very much wanted to share it. The news that Tipper and Al Gore are separating after forty years of marriage has taken many by surprise. They seemed to [...] One of my mentors, Virginia Satir, taught me something that has been useful to me and everyone else I have shared it with. She said “treat everything that comes at you from the outside as something with which to cope, and not as a way to define yourself. How often do you hear yourself or others [...] I lost trust in the reliability of my car. This may seem an unusual way to talk about losing trust. Last week I could not shift out of park nor could I take the key out. I had the car repaired and after a few trips the problem recurred but was worse.

They are right now helpless to solve many of these concerns [...] I have been asked as to why on this site I stress both self-growth and relationship skills. Why not just focus on one or the other. In my mind they are linked. I think that it is through self-growth that positive changes occur in marriages/relationships. The stronger one’s self-worth (the result of self-growth) the easier it [...] There is no magic answer to rekindling a relationship. There is no one thing that will quickly turn things around. Yet many couples are able to achieve a new closeness in their relationship. You may well ask ” how do they do it?” After helping many couples rekindle their relationship I have found that there are [...] In my last blog I talked about the value of making a commitment to yourself. When we are truly committed to something we don’t feel the need to strive. I shared how I have made a commitment to exercise regularly but I did not accomplish a 30 day blog challenge. The difference was that I [...] When I went to the gym on Saturday, January 2, it was great to see the place so full. I am sure that many of these new people had made a New Year’s resolution to get serious about exercising. Setting goals is important but the challenge is maintaining the resolution.
