After interviewing so many people, I’ve heard stories about how getting back together was the best decision they ever made or the worst train wreck in history that ended with someone in jail. And everything in between. I suppose it really comes down to the two people involved and the motives at the heart of [...]

Handling Hurt Feelings
This may be a shocker for those of you who know me or have read this blog for a while, but sometimes its really easy for me to get my feelings hurt, especially when I’m feeling a bit over-exposed. Its like someone decides to sit beside me and “poke” “poke” at the uncovered nerves. Hate [...]

Heartbreakers Fear Broken Hearts
If you’re known as a heart breaker, is it because you’re afraid to have your heart broken?
After breaking up with the majority or your relationships, you’ve seen a fair range of tears and anger, sighs and recriminations and my guess is… that you fear being on the receiving end of it.

Does Hooking Up Hurt You?

Safe From Love and Hurt
How do you hide from love? Do you even admit to yourself that your business, distractions, hobbies, walls, gossip, busy-ness, activities, charities and addictions hide you from the possibility of loving and being loved?
Each thing that fills life to the point of pushing others out is a way to a slow death by attrition. Killing yourself hobby by hobby and word by word. Hiding your heart away from any possibility of being changed, vulnerable, broken, loved and redeemed. There is no safe way to find love. And yet…

Breaking Up
Sometimes the breakup can be the hardest part of the whole relationship. I know a lot of people who have simply stopped dating because they are gun shy after a particularly bad break. I think there are some things we do that can make it easier to accept and move on and some things that make it virtually impossible to get the hooks out of your heart. And yes ladies… guys hurt just as much as we do most of the time… they just show it in different ways.

Freedom In Pain
Sometimes, in relationships with other human beings, something comes along that just sweeps your feet out from under you. Looking up from the ground, bewildered and a bit breathless from your fall, you are given the opportunity to make a choice. You can chose to entomb this pain into your very cells and nurture it’s growth like a mold in the damp dark. Or you can…
