The Right Relationship
The Secret Threads
… Until one day we find ourselves before the landscape, which embodies everything that we have been looking for our entire life; the echo that called us for so long now swells into the sound itself. And we know. Here is the thing that I was made for…
Creating Sacred Space
What is sacred space and how do we create one physically, internally and with our partner, to have a devoted sacred love life…
The Brilliancy of Feelings
Hold my hand, and let me take you into the brilliancy of your feelings. Our feelings are our inner compass; our navigation system which guides us through life. Feelings are pure, like water; there are no bad feelings…
Love, Devotion and Purpose
Devotion is not some high-minded, grand, abstract thing. It is often found in an ordinary moment, in an ordinary day; it’s an injured animal on the side of the road, that we take home to care for it. When devotion finds us, it is an absolute, non-negotiable extend of hands, asking us to love wholeheartedly…
What True Love Really Is
A love that pays attention is a love that is alive. Volo ut sis. I will that you are. I want you to be. I want every day for you. I want every moment for you. I love your mere existence in my world, in my life, as you are, as it be…
On The Importance of Delayed Gratification
Pleasure is central to our survival, but as we mature, we need to learn to tolerate the discomfort of delayed gratification, especially if we have a higher purpose or vision; or desire to build a long-lasting relationship based on true intimacy and loyalty…
Costly Signaling Theory + Relationship Accountability
The lack of relationship accountability is like a state of stable ambiguity; people give “just enough” not to feel alone but to get the reward of affection, and yet certainly not give “too much” to compromise because of fears and their unwillingness to commit…

Love Letter: When The Worlds Kiss
Dear Miracle. Yes, you! The Christmas season is here and regardless of religion or spiritual belief, this is a sacred time when we celebrate the biggest miracle of all; the birth of a child, the birth of love. And we are all miracles. It is through our childlike eyes that we can see the purity and the divine in everything and everyone around us…
The Necessity of Limits, and Being Grateful for Them
“Our human and earthly limits, properly understood, are not confinements but rather inducements to fullness of relationship and meaning. Perhaps our most serious cultural loss in recent centuries is the knowledge that some things, though limited, are inexhaustible. If we always have a theoretically better substitute available from somebody or someplace else, we will never make the most of anything…
Tenderness
To keep us tender in this world is the hardest yet most important thing. Our tenderness is where our greatest strength is. When we follow its thread of water, it leads us gently to our core where despite hardships we remained resilient and unbreakable. In a way – our tenderness is our hardiness because no thing and no one was capable of destroying that part of us…
Love & Prayer
There is incredible power to this kind of devotion; of a deeply spiritual act that kneels us each and every time like nothing else ever could. Prayer is an intimate love song through which we enter into a relationship with the divine. Prayer is an offering of ourselves wholebodily and wholeheartedly. Prayer, despite its gentleness, is never afraid and in our hardest times, it gets its feet dirty holding us…
