To Love and Be Loved

"Cherishing, pleasure and joy are what make a relationship worth fighting for these days. The sense of being cherished and of being able to cherish - this is the very core of positive intimacy.  It's what gives us strength to withstand troubled times; it's what gives us the motivation to stretch and grow." Terry Real-"New Rules of Marriage"

Join us in November for some Cherishing!

Cultivating Equinimity

Mon, Jun 08 2015 4:50 pm Comments

Praise and blame, gain and loss, pleasure and sorrow come and go like the wind. To be happy, rest like a great tree in the midst of them all.  From Buddha's Little Instruction Book

But how do we find such equinimity?

"I would say that Tapas Acupuncture Technique reunites a person with parts of himself or herself that have been locked away or frozen in time. There are many ways to describe the results of TAT. Integration, harmony, peace, unity, connectedness, relatedness, oneness and wholeness are a few of the terms people have used to express how they feel after doing TAT." Tapas Fleming-creator or TAT


You too can learn TAT!

Life Long Romance

"You cannot sustain the intimacy you enjoyed in the early stage of your relationship unless you are willing to cherish each other in some of the ways that you did at that time.You will not feel like lovers unless you are willing to behave like lovers."
Author: Terrance Real - New Rules of Marriage

Behaving like Lovers

Heart

When it
BREAKS
do you batten down the hatches,
fortify the armory,
build ten times higher the siege wall around your tender hope exposed
do you vitrify
indurate
flash freeze,
protect!
...or do you leave all the windows shattered,
allowing the breath of the world
to sweep through your
OPEN chambers
do you go to sleep at night
prepared for nightmares
but leaving all the doors unlocked
knowing,
knowing now,
that no one can steal from you
what you give away willingly
do you weep to know such safety?
i weep
Poem by Jorah LaFluer
