How To Listen to Your Intuition
When you are trying to make an important decision, everyone you ask in some form or another will recommend, "Listen to your intuition". This is excellent advice, but often not helpful.

For most people, the challenge is not wanting to listen to your intuition; it is knowing how to effectively listen to your intuition. I invite you to join me as we explore different methods on how to listen to your intuition.

... The Difference Between Being Present and Self-Absorbed
It is easy to be confused about the difference between being present and self-absorbed. Current New Age, pop psychology and self-help literature make them appear to be the same.

Tich Nhat Hanh

Providence Dating Success Series – How We Date Now
If this is how we date now, dating has changed. Everything has changed, so why not dating as well? I was reading the following article, This Is How We Date Now, and found it stimulating and disturbing. I do not have direct experience with this world of dating. My relationships, past and present, are not on display on Facebook, Twitter, or anywhere else. Even before the Internet, I have never been one desiring to create happy, shining photographs posing with fake smiles. The fact that I have never felt moved to do so does not mean I do not understand the need to document life as positive and happy. My denial expresses itself differently....
