Creating Relationship Intentions

An intention is a vision that guides your activities, thoughts, attitudes, decisions and choices. It requires focus, action and positive energy to manifest. It’s not an end destination – it’s MORE ACTIVE in the PRESENT than a goal. We often believe that we can’t create change or make shifts in relationships because we cannot control another person. And while it is correct that we can’t control others, our relationships are not static. Our relationships are an exchange of dynamics that move and shift continuously.

The Power of Perspective

One of the many things that I love about photography is the idea of perspective. Even slight shifts in angles can give you a whole new composition that provides a new perspective of seeing the image, of witnessing the story.

Can you relate to this? I used to fall into this pattern alot! Even the most conscious and evolved woman can fall into this pattern. It’s like she is potent, powerful and capable in

Giving Away Our Power Can Be Hard to Spot

Does this sound familiar to you? ”If he would just change this _______(fill in the blank) and be more ______(fill in the blank) then I could be happy.” Here’s an example: “I lost some weight hoping you’d be more attracted to me. If you could have just seen all the effort I was making and responded to me, then I’d feel good. Since you didn’t, I stopped making the effort now and gained all my weight back.”  In my experience, whether this thought is conscious or not, everyone has found themselves feeling like this at least once.

Find You to Embrace You

In my world, every day is love day …. but it’s February and we have entered into the commercial love month, and soooooo many of us are getting triggered. Many of my clients are starting to feel the pull…for some it’s even worse than the stress of the Christmas / Hanukkah season. If you’re in a relationship and it’s not going well, you’re gonna get triggered. If you’re not in a relationship and you want one, you’re gonna get triggered. If your relationship has recently ended, you’re gonna get triggered. As more and more emails come into your mailbox talking
