Picture this: you’ve seen a handsome and interesting man's profile online. 

“He has potential,” you say to yourself. You engage in a couple of email exchanges moving quickly to the phone call. 

What a voice. He sounds promising!

You make a date to meet. 

What happens next are the effects of false intimacy. 

You start texting back and forth as if you know each other well. You might even be texting or ta...

One of my offerings as a dating coach is 

working with clients to write their online dating profile or helping people craft a better essay with my worksheets.

There are many things that people write in their essays that make them ineffective. I want you to be effective.

Today I threw out my favorite sweater.

I said thank you for the good times and released it.

It may sound dramatic, but, this sweater meant a lot to me.

I bought it at a vintage clothing store shortly after I moved to Dallas in the early 1990s.

What if I had the love I was supposed to have and no...

I’m a fan of extreme self-care as a way to attract love from the inside out.

Doing things that bring you joy is extreme self-care.

I wonder how you’ll be giving to yourself?

You buy gifts for everyone else, why not get something that will actually help you find relationship happiness?

But, what should you get?

I’m often asked by my clients which online dating sites are the best ones.

There a lot of choices plus now there are dating apps. 

Considering the evolution of technology in recent years it can be overwhelming.

You ask, “Which one has the quality men who are age appropriate living in my city? Which     one will I get the most responses?”

If you are looking for answers, the best thing to do is pause, get still and listen.

Cultivating the ability to listen to our inner wisdom, our heart, our soul, our intuition is perhaps the most important skill we will ever learn.

If you simply traded all the time you spend defending why you can't have the life and relationship you desire and instead took up the practice of genuinely listening, your...
