Finding Joy in Solitude

By Arlene
Thursday, January 6th, 2011

By Julie McGrath

“Intimacy- closeness to yourself in times of solitude or closeness to others in moments of sharing and connecting- reflects your inner world as almost nothing else does. And this intimacy begins from the inside; it begins with your own self.”~ Intimacy and Solitude by S. Dowrick

Are you comfortable with yourself? Do you know yourself well? Or, do you rely on others to shape who you are? As I read the book Intimacy and Solitude, the constant message is ‘know thyself, know thyself, know thyself’. How can you give to others what you yourself don’t have? How can you truly love another when you don’t love yourself?

NOW IS THE TIME. Seek out solitude. Spend time dreaming, setting goals and getting to know yourself. Read More→

By Arlene
Monday, January 3rd, 2011

By John P Brink

Axioms:
• The “impossible” MAY not be accomplished regardless of your skill, effort or ingenuity.
• Howver, the “impossible” will NEVER be accomplished if you possess no belief it can be accomplished.
• The “impossible” can ONLY be accomplished if you possess the belief it can be accomplished.
• The “impossible” now BECOMES the possible, only because you possessed the belief it could be accomplished. Read More→

Setting Boundaries in Relationships

By Arlene
Tuesday, October 26th, 2010

By Judy H. Wright

Setting personal boundaries are like identifying the gates in our invisible fence lines which protects the precious heart and soul inside our bodies. Many people look at boundaries as walls, but rather when we establish healthy boundaries it provides a way to distinguish what we choose to let in and let out. They form flexible gates, not stationary walls It is important to learn about setting healthy boundaries so we can make decisions about what is and what isn’t permissible in all relationships.

Boundaries are valuable

All relationships work more harmoniously when the participants know what to expect and what is expected of them. Read More→

I Can’t Seem to Make This Relationship Work

By Daniel
Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

By Deborah Chelette-Wilson

Sitting in my car listening to the radio all seems well with my world. Then without warning deep sadness fills my body. I tell myself to breath through it. I tell myself I don’t have to know why it’s there or what is causing it. I just need to breath. As I do I see a couple I know in there yard. I stop my impulse to honk. I’m thinking I still don’t think I know how to have a relationship. Read More→

Letting Go

By Arlene
Sunday, August 8th, 2010

By Susan Russo

“Let go. Why do you cling to pain? There is nothing you can do about the wrongs of yesterday. Why hold onto the very thing that keeps you from hope and love?” -Leo Buscaglia

One of the biggest obstacles people deal with in life is letting go of the past. For many it becomes a full time job. They are so consumed with what was, what if, why, if only, etc. that not only do they NOT let go of the past, but they live in it.

It’s important to look at your life in retrospect for many different reasons. You can look back and either cherish the memories that were a part of your life which have made you who you are today. Or, you can learn from your mistakes and the mistakes of others. Read More→
