I used to find it impossible to admit I was withholding. There were so many reasons for this reluctance, but most was fear based. I know, shocking. I was afraid which is why I was withholding and then I was afraid to confront that I was withholding and then I was most afraid to admit… Continue reading Withholding- Part V.

Today’s post is not an invitation to be a liar. It isn’t. This isn’t a piece that you get to point at and say “see, that’s where I was told to withhold.” I am not giving you permission to withhold. I am telling you that there are occasions when you make a choice to hold… Continue reading Withholding- Part IV.

I talked about trust yesterday because like many others, I think trust is a quintessential building block for a good and hearty relationship. You can have all the love in the world but if there is no trust in a relationship or if that trust has been breached, there is a fundamental problem. There is… Continue reading Withholding- Part III.

Hi there. I wrapped up yesterday by differentiating between situations where you might want to address withholding from those where you may not want to. Before I dive headfirst into that arena and expand on each, I want to spend today really delving into with withholding looks like. In fact, let me map it out… Continue reading Withholders- Part II.

I don’t think all people are liars. I mean. I think they are, but I don’t think most are purposeful, malicious liars. I know that we’ve touched on this topic before. Mostly I’ve thrown this issue in the mix because I seem to have a penchant for liars. I befriend them. I date them. They… Continue reading Withholders- Part I.

How do we “plan” to change our behavior? How do we “prepare” to tackle our worst and more profound fears? The same way we approach training or preparing for anything. I printed a running plan off a website and decided I was going to follow it. There is something to be said for relying on… Continue reading Neil and Connie- The Finale (for now).

Thank you for coming back. I know things feel a bit tedious this week. We don’t like to talk about fear. I mean, I sure don’t. Except when I do, and then I feel oddly satisfied.  I kicked off this week with Connie and Neil and then sneakily shifted you over to an exploration of… Continue reading Neil and Connie – Part IV.

Were you able to think of something you’ve set your mind to? You don’t have to tell me what it is. Just keep it with you as we move on from here.   Before we get to the analogy that I posed yesterday and tying all those unsavory loose ends together, let’s tangent for a… Continue reading Neil and Connie – Part III.

Do you set your mind to something and then immediately regret your decision and/or have difficulty with the follow through? I mean you probably do, right? We all do, on some level. It may not be major regret or struggle bus material, but the resistance is there. There are so many reasons for this, many… Continue reading Neil and Connie – Part II.

My mom and I recently made pillows together. Cloud pillows. I named them. Neil the nimbus and Connie the cumulus. If you are on the outside of things, as you likely are (the inside is really just me and mom), you might not truly feel the love infused into every single stitch. What you will… Continue reading Neil and Connie- Part I.
