Make Him Prove That He's Worthy Of You

Only give your heart away to a man who proves himself worthy of that beautiful love you offer. A man is kissing a beautiful woman hoping he can prove that he is worthy of her love.

We've gotten so used to making this about everything except love that we don't even know how to get back to where we need to be. Somewhere along the way we unfortunately learned to believe that we need to prove something. That we need to show him, or maybe everyone, that we really do have [...]

4 Ways Your Mom Messed Up Your Love Life

Whether we recognize it or not, your mom has a say in who you become and even who you date. A beautiful mother sitting on the couch with her beautiful but upset daughter.

Mother's Day is fast approaching and it got me thinking about the ways in which our mothers affect our dating patterns. Whether we recognize it or not, your mom has a say in who you become and even who you date. As much as you'd like to think that you're completely separate from her and aren't [...]

It's Time to Stop Waiting and Start Living

It begins with getting in touch with who you are and all that you have to offer. A beautiful woman is riding a bike in a field living life to the fullest.

We can feel so lost sometimes. We wonder when love will find us, how it will happen, and what it will look like, and we forget just how much in control of our lives and our search for love we really are. Yes, fate or the Universe or God, or whatever you believe in, may all [...]

It's Time to Raise the Bar!

We just keep lowering the bar on what we'll settle for, and in the process we teach him how little we will require from him if he'll only choose us. A beautiful woman is lifting a barbel on her shoulders.

Don't ever doubt that you teach him how to treat you. That each of us teaches each and every man out there how to treat us and every other woman who comes after us. When you're wondering how he can ask for your number and then never call. When you're wondering how he can text you at [...]

Is Your Past Getting in the Way of Your Future?

We think we need to be perfect, or at least somewhere close. We have so little grace for ourselves, for what we’ve been through, where we’ve come from. A beautiful woman is looking out from behind a chain link fence, symbolic of her own beliefs that are keeping her from having the relationship she wants.

I received an email the other day that really got to me. It was from a reader who felt that her past behavior with men had precluded her from having a future with a good man. My heart went out to her. It brought back to me all those times I, too, questioned my own [...]

How to Attract the Guy You Really Deserve and Avoid The Ones You Don't

Why would you be attracted to someone who doesn't treat you well if you were confident in who you are and what you have to offer someone? A happy couple is having fun in a winter scene.

You've heard it said time and time again. You deserve so much more than this! You've even said it yourself more times than you care to remember. But every time you say it, every time you decide that enough is enough and this time you are finally going to hold out for what you truly [...]

That First Step

You don't need to settle like this. You do have worth. You don't have to prove your worthiness to receive love. It's not in everyone else except you; it's all there, in you! A beautiful woman is taking that first adventurous step across the water into the unknown.

You know you don't want to settle anymore. You know it's time to start focusing on what you really want, and deserve, and to start making this about you and not about any him. But even as you know all this, even as you know in your head so clearly what you need to do, [...]

A Christmas Wish

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

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 [...]

Filling the Void

Are you feeling empty inside?

Frequently, whether we're currently in a relationship or we're single, we find ourselves looking for something, longing for something, and we're not sure exactly what it is. We're feeling empty inside, like there's a hollow space within us that we are desperately looking to fill in any way that we can. So often what we’re [...]
