Our feelings are like weather patterns. They are changeable and act on the environment with great power. They inform and distract with their intensity. They reflect the nature of the moment with great accuracy. Just as our changing weather patterns are shifting and changing the world we live in, our ability to experience and share our feelings in meaningful ways has the power to shift the emotional landscape [...]
There are days I long to look up and see an opening in the sky that would remind me of the truth about life. I work to see and to believe that life is good and our inclination to love is always one to be trusted. However, sometimes love and trust are not companions — affairs happen, partners are left, love goes unrequieted, and accidents of the heart happen as frequently as they do [...]
What has happened to the game of love? In spite of all the available technologies to connect us together more and more, people are opting out of the relationship game, preferring to live alone, than to risk another bad relationship outcome. This preference reflects a deep change in our collective human psyche, for it used be that what lovers feared most was loneliness. Now being caught in a static [...]
I want to live a green life, and for most of the years of parenting my four kids, I lead my family with a devoted environmental consciousness. In ways big and small, a decade of nursing four kids, cotton diapering, and family beds, my life style choices reflected deeply-held values. Food choices were equally deliberate, and, for a while, we even lived on a small farm [...]

The reality of life is rarely just what we see. When we are looking at the surface of things, often we believe we understand them and we feel safe to judge them as we believe they are. We frequently fail to see what is underneath. Our ability to judge is often confused with our emotions, many of which are so deeply troubling that we refuse to even acknowledge them. This is particularly [...]

This is a powerful metaphor on a personal level and in our work to make relationships sustainable. The air in your relationship flows from the communication that passes between you and your partner. It is the currency of your relationship. [...]
Ovid made this statement about the boldness of love thousands of years ago. I would say that it has never been more true or necessary. Let this year’s Valentine celebration be a bold statement of love, beginning with yourself. Start by feeling worthy of your own love. Give yourself a break and trust your instincts. Enjoy an old favorite romantic comedy and laugh out loud or cry when the mood strikes [...]
Building a fire is a strong metaphor for the depth, passion and intensity of physical intimacy. Fire is nature’s energetic equivalent to our sexuality. It is the energy of life, providing light, heat and the ability to transform the physical world. Fire in intimacy is the force of attraction that keeps relationships dynamic and whole. Just as intense heat binds and trans
Sustainable love, the kind that we use as a compass to keep us connected to a vital, healthy and happy relationships are now being recognized as skills that might just save our species. We finally have the scientific equipment to verify what we have always known: our drive to be social, to be connected to each other, is actually hardwired. Our need for connection and drive [...]
