Creating Rewarding Relationships

02/04/2026

I tell all of my new couples we're going to nurture the good so it happens more 💝 and neutralize the bad so it doesn't impact them so much. 🥊
Rarely do all the "problem points" disappear, but they do become much smaller and less impactful. 🎯
Perfection is not possible - only in the movies does that happen. 🎥
Let's be loving flawed wonderful humans relating. 🙃

This may be too soon for my followers on the Eastern side of the USA. ❄☃
I'm sending warm, non-slick roads and walkways thoughts your way. 🌞😎
And remember, as a favorite book of mine states "think what stars and diamonds would lack if there was no black." We need the darker tough times to help us understand how good the lighter easy times really are.

(The book is the beautifully illustrated "Hailstones and Halibut Bones".

What action have you been thinking of, but not acting on?
I say this all the time in my sessions - insight is a nice thing to get from counseling, but if you don't CHANGE your life, your behaviors outside the sessions, then your life and relationship will NOT change.
Take action.

Humor can help in all relationships. May we all learn to embrace it and use it wisely to connect. May those who struggle with humor develop an ability to smile at life.

Now is the only time you can directly impact.
How do you want NOW to be? To feel? To look like? To be experienced?
Now is also the time you can make the biggest impact on your life by talking to a therapist like me. No matter what your age.

Step back, take a break and a couple of deep breaths. Then couple more.
Then realize, truth is relative. Your partner has their truth; you have yours. Respect that. Breathe again.
