Listen To Their Story – Ex-CIA Undercover Officer

The video below is titled "Former Undercover CIA Officer Talks War And Peace." While I was listening and watching, what was loudest to me was how this applies to everyday life, not just foreign wars. What if we listen to their story as a practice we all follow when trying to resolve conflicts with partners, lovers, friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers?

4 Messages We Send Tween Girls That Undermine Their Self-Expression (And What To Say Instead)

When I read 4 Messages We Send Tween Girls That Undermine Their Self-Expression (And What To Say Instead), I stepped back and laid down my professional training and experience to get out of the way and just take in what the author, Akilah S. Richards, shared. I am glad I did! Her insights and experience as mother and daughter are right on the mark with my own professional understanding of tween girls. I encourage you not to make the assumption that this only applies to tween Girls of Color; you would be incorrect. In fact, if you shift some of the details just a bit, the same challenges and solutions apply to tween boys, although they may not be as obvious. I am interested in hearing about your experiences with tween girls (and boys) and the solutions the author shares in 4 Messages We Send Tween Girls That Undermine Their Self-Expression (And What To Say Instead).

Stop saying sorry if you want to say thank you: A seriously insightful cartoon

Stop saying sorry if you want to say thank you: A seriously insightful cartoon. We often apologize, assuming that people will appreciate our politeness and good manners. But in most cases, the other party is much more pleased to hear words of gratitude from you rather than an apology. Talented illustrator Yao Xiao, using everyday situations as inspiration, helps to explain why "thank you" is sometimes better than "I’m sorry" in this cartoon. We at Bright Side thought it really made sense and just had to share it with you. Take a look.

Rock Stars and Groupies: Narcissistic Co-Dependence in the Yoga Teacher-Student Relationship

Narcissistic co-dependence exists in many fields, not just the yoga teacher-student relationship. As the author mentions, narcissistic co-dependence is prevalent in the therapy and counseling community; it is a "thing" for sure. I can honestly say that I have experienced narcissistic co-dependence in relationships as both a student and a teacher through Reiki and other modalities of the spiritual community.

Bowing: An Energetic Transaction

On my first morning in South Korea in August of 2008, I entered a local “deli” to buy something quick to eat before my first day at work.  I arrived from the USA and arrived at my room around 1:00 a.m. I did not get to sleep till nearly 3:30, with a wake-up time of 8:30 a.m. The “deli” is not what I would typically call a deli, as someone who grew up outside of New York City but does not know the correct name for it.  The woman prepares several kinds of kimchi, pickled vegetables, and stews, which are hot and ready to go.  I did not know what I was thinking when I walked in the door of her small business. She bowed and said a formal greeting I know now as “Annyeong-haseyo” = "Hello".  Her bow is what stopped me in my tracks....

Providence Dating Coach Success Series – Changing Dishonest Dating Culture

Isn't it time to change the dishonest dating culture? Have we had enough of men and women pretending to be something they're not when dating a new potential partner? Why do honesty and dating concepts rarely intersect? Does anybody really enjoy finding out that eight months later, the person they are dating has nothing to do with the person they first met?  Why are we so afraid to show others who we really are? Is it because many of us do not know the answer to the question, Who Am I?  What would be your experience with dating if you could just be yourself? What if dating first impressions were an accurate representation of ourselves?...

The Feminist Guide To Non-Creepy Flirting

I was reading The Feminist Guide to Non-Creepy Flirting and thought it may be helpful to share with readers. I know many men see the word "feminist" and immediately stop reading or become defensive. For the men that this applies to, I invite you to hang in there and reap the benefits of the wisdom and knowledge helping you connect with women that you want to meet.
