We'll talk about the Synchronicity, Intuition and the Perfect Trap
How to Attract Synchronicity
Synchronicities – those meaningful connections that occur when our inner thoughts collide with our outer circumstances – is a powerful way to move into flow in your life. They can provide essential information – just the “right” book or person, for example, may suddenly come into your life to keep you headed toward your goal [...]
The Power of Friendship
Just got off the phone with a good friend. We compared notes about writing assignments, commiserated about book sales, talked about her dogs and my kid and even lamented that the weather in Charlotte is too hot. The forecast where I am too cold. That’s all. We didn’t figure out how to stop oil from spilling into [...]
How to be a successful mentor
If you’re lucky, you may have a moment in this life when you get a chance to mentor someone else. Often, sharing what you know will be just as illuminating for you as it is the person you’ve been called on to mentor. We learn differently when we teach others. We have to know what [...]
Dr. Laura Trice talks about why we need to give and receive thanks
Gratitude is a an essential component to our well-being. We are happier and healthier when we are grateful people, but we also need to know that others are grateful and appreciative of us. It’s a primal need. It’s validating. It’s energizing. And, it’s o.k. to ask for it. But we don’t, and there are some [...]
Finding the good is the key to managing the bad
10:1 That’s the ratio required for positive statements to counter balance the negative when it comes to parenting and educating children, say teachers. Ten positives to offset the devastating impact of one negative or critical statement. Relationship expert John Gottman says that we need to have at least five positive statements to every one negative [...]
Three ways to move through relationship trouble spots
There are times, like on Valentine’s Day, that I reflect fondly on the year my now husband, (then a romantic boy wonder) wooed me with a – wrench. Yep. In a sweet, attempt to impress me, The Boy gave me a wrench so that I could fix my own garbage disposal. Ahh, the good ol’ [...]
Experts offer one relationship-saving strategy to end blame
‘Tis the week when people everywhere will be channeling Barry White – or Manilow — in honor of Valentine’s Day. But, if you want to sustain your relationship and even enjoy it, the Barrys are not gonna be enough. No amount of R&B and soft rock is going to help if you can’t handle the [...]
Talking to yourself helps self control
Before you pig out on turkey and pie this week remember to put the fork down long enough to take a deep breath and listen to your inner voice. You know the one — sometimes it sounds sweet and encouraging, other times it grates like a nagging mother-in-law. That voice might just be the key [...]
Three things (even I can do) to cope with relationship conflict
I’m married to the perfect male. Really. A great guy. Smart, and funny and kind and so supportive. So, why then, do I have moments, (hours, days?), where I feel like ripping his face off? It’s not very nice. And it’s confusing to feel deep love for him and still be so angry at times. [...]
Mucky moments lead to healthy habits
There are moments — entire days in fact when I feel like I’m struggling to keep my head above water, simply so that I don’t sink into the muck of my life. On those days — when nothing big is really wrong but things aren’t working well either – I’m usually more focused on getting [...]
