At one point long ago the word ‘alone’ was ‘all-one.’ The underlying meaning of the word changed from a positive emphasis on ‘oneness’ or individuality to the negative implication of being unhappy ‘by oneself.’ Now when we use the word alone, most people will think of an experience worth avoiding. As in “I’m all alone.”…
Not long ago they had us believing that men and women came from different planets. That an understanding of their different planetary languages would help us figure out our problems with love. I assure you, men and women come from the same planet. In fact that’s where the great hope comes from that men and…
Remember, if you are financially and/or emotionally supporting a dysfunctional lover, chances are you are codependent. What this essentially means is you are part of the problem. The only way your dysfunctional lover can remain dysfunctional is if he or she finds and maintains a dysfunctional love relationship with somebody like you. Somebody who is…
What are the signs and symptoms that tell you your love relationship is unhealthy? The categories I’ve selected obviously overlap. But for the purpose of a simplified illustration, I’ve separated the signs and symptoms of unhealthy love relationships into three basic categories.

Machines do for us what we no longer have to do for ourselves. As time goes on we become dependent upon machines and the functions they perform are no longer developed in us. They simply don’t have to be. Should certain functions remain in the realm of human experience only? Which ones? To what extent…
This is what I like to call a ‘love-life home invasion.’ Your boyfriend or girlfriend moved in. Now you want him or her to move out, but he or she refuses to leave. The most common way this kind of thing happens in your love-life is, you ‘jump the gun’ and let your lover move into…
