I Can't Make You Love Me

December 31, 2012 4 Comments
Of course you thought you could make someone love you. Haven't we all been there? You, too, believed, in spite of what everyone told you, that you could actually change his heart. A beautiful woman looks out at the snow knowing it's finally over.

You know exactly what I'm talking about here. Because you've been down this path far too many times before. Of course you thought you could make someone love you. Haven't we all been there? You, too, believed, in spite of what everyone told you, that you could actually change his heart. And no matter how [...]

A Christmas Wish

December 25, 2012 6 Comments
My wish for you this year is the same wish I always have, which is that you will realize just how much worth you really do have, how much you deserve and that you will know that what you attract into your life is all about how much you really feel this about yourself

It's Christmas. And it's been awhile since you've heard from me. I've been down with the worst flu I think I've ever had, and we've traveled 14 hours on the road to celebrate Christmas with extended family, which is why I haven't posted in while. But although my energies have been focused elsewhere for the [...]

The Most Special Gift of All

December 17, 2012 8 Comments
We can't control who loves us, and all too often, we find ourselves with a deep longing to be loved by someone who isn't capable of giving us the love we are looking for from them. A beautiful woman opens a magical gift box.

I could go on and on. And sometimes I do. Because this one is just that important. It's not about the gifts we give everyone else. It's not about the time we spend looking for that perfect gift for someone else. It's not about anything tangible. It's about you and what you deserve more than [...]

Having Trouble Getting Over a Break Up? Why It's Time to Finally Move On

December 13, 2012 4 Comments
Getting over a recent (or worse, a not so recent) break up can be one of the most difficult things in life to do, and for good reason. It makes sense – your life was intertwined with this person and you opened and shared your delicate heart with him. A beautiful sad woman is having trouble getting over a breakup, holding her knees with her arms.

You knew it would be hard getting over him, but you never realized just how hard this was going to be. Whether he ended it, or you, the reality is you didn't want it to end. All you ever wanted was it to work out, but in the end, you realized it would take more [...]

You Are That Strong!

December 5, 2012 Leave a Comment
With that same resolve, with that same kind of confidence. You really do have that same kind of confidence, that same kind of right to stand up for yourself and let him know what you will and will not take. A woman is showing her confidence holding out her fist and smiling.

I was waiting at the checkout counter today when a title on one of the CD's caught my eye. It was Taylor Swift's We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, and I noticed it was advertised as having been a number one single. I hadn't heard the song before, so I downloaded it when I [...]

Don't Give Yourself Away

December 3, 2012 Leave a Comment
You deserve to be loved, my beautiful friend. You deserve to have someone truly love you for yourself just because you're you. And you don't need to prove that to anyone. So don't give yourself away until you know he's the real thing, it's real love. A man and woman are dancing with the city lights in the background.

You think you've finally found what you're looking for. He seems so different from the rest. He shows all the signs of being into you and you feel like all the work you've been doing on yourself is finally paying off. He seems genuine. He acts like he cares about your feelings and he's not [...]

It's been so long since you've had anything resembling a healthy relationship, you don't even know what one looks like. Until now. It's time to start at the beginning, forgetting everything you think a relationship is all about and what it feels like because right now your relationship gauge is pointing up when it’s supposed to be [...]

Your Actions Say So Much More than Your Words

November 26, 2012 8 Comments
You deserve nothing less than someone who calls you often and with enough notice to get together. You deserve nothing less than someone who knows what he's got in you and knows what is required of him if he wants to be in a relationship with you. A beautiful confident woman looks into the camera.

You know this scenario all too well. He's not calling you as often as you'd like; he's waiting until the last minute to make plans with you; you're feeling taken for granted. You're not sure what to do to turn things around, but you don't want to lose him; you've never felt the way you [...]

How To Know You're Getting Closer To A Real Relationship

November 23, 2012 7 Comments
You start to learn that it really does matter that you know yourself well enough to know who it is you're really looking for. Your list changes to reflect the you you're discovering and learning to embrace in love. A man and woman are holding hands near the ocean.

Don't doubt yourself on this journey. It doesn't matter where you've come from or what you've been through. It doesn't matter how many times you feel you've repeated the same mistakes or how many times you've attracted the same type of guy. None of that matters. What matters is how each experience brings you closer [...]
