9 Myths About Being Single
More than 48% of US households are headed by unmarried individuals. The American Association for Single People projects that by 2010, 47.2% of adults will be unmarried. Being single does not mean being alone, nor does being in a couple for the holidays ensure happiness. Let's dispel some myths! Myth #1: Single people are lonely at Christmas. Reality: No moreso than anyone else. This is a projection of people who fear "being alone for the holidays," a fear of the unknown. Myth #2: Single people need you to invite . . . keep reading
Is This The One?
Isn't that the million dollar question? How can I tell if this is the one? Is this one my soulmate? How will I know when I find the right one? There is no magic answer, but I can tell you what seems to work. I asked a psychic one time if a certain person was my soulmate. His answer, "If you have to ask, then he's not the one." He went on to explain that with soulmates no matter how good or bad a day you have together, you wake up in the morning knowing without a doubt that this is the one and you go to bed at night knowing . . . keep reading

Calling Forth a Soulmate
How do I draw a soulmate into my life? You don't. I've read plenty of books that tell you how to do it, but I don't believe for a minute that you can place your cosmic order and your perfect ideal twin soul is going to materialize just like that at your front door.

Flirting For A Long-Term Relationship
Have you ever wondered why we flirt? I mean, we've all done it at some time but it's one of those things that we do without really giving any though to why or how. Quite simply, flirting's our way of letting the opposite sex know that we're available. What it says we're available for depends entirely on how we flirt but for the sake of this article, I'll concentrate on the flirting that's done when you're with somebody you might like to develop a committed relationship with. If you're a bit on the shy side, perhaps lacking in self . . . keep reading
She Loves Me, He Loves Me Not
Who Is Some Who Loves You? 1. Someone who sees the best in you.

You will be a lucky person if you have found a mate who is always looking at your 'silver lining'. Too often today people are more than willing to judge you by your errors, not by your potential. 2. Someone who gives you the benefit of the doubt. There are so many times in . . . keep reading
Single in a Couples World
Advertising for St. Valentine's Day seemed more relentless than ever this year. Everywhere I turned, I saw candy hearts or jewelry glistening in store displays. Radio announcers drummed the message home through constant promotions of dinner for two. There was no one "special" in my life. I had been working hard on my home-based business, running two personal development programs and then writing well into the night, week after week, to expand my website content. I wanted and felt I deserved a little appreciation. So for . . . keep reading

The Key to Ending Pain With Others
It has taken me 40 years to learn exactly how to free myself from pain with others. After reading the book The Dammapada I sat under a tree to contemplate, and meditate on the wisdom I was soaking in to the depths of my heart, mind and soul.

Then, I felt a deep and profound inner transformation as the words "give compassion . . . keep reading
Stop Being the String Along: A Relationship Guide to Being THE ONE
Ultimately, you want a partner you can be your true self with, a partner who will treat you with love and respect. The subconscious social conditioning we receive to get or capture another causes us to fail and to string ourselves along, while we simultaneously hide our real selves. This robs both people equally of the opportunity to get to know, love, and care for each other, while maintaining a solid sense of self. * Being Equals It does not matter if you are male or female, nor does it matter what your sexual preferences are . . . keep reading

The Power of Authenticity
How "powerful" are you? Do you ever cover up how you genuinely feel? Do you ever say what you think you "should," say, based on how you want others to perceive you? Do you ever think you "should" be a certain way? Why? I'll share with you why I did in the past. I "thought" I "should" be a certain way, say certain things, act in the manner that I "thought" would bring me either the results I was attached to, or the acceptance of those I wanted. How powerful was I? About as powerful as a spineless wimp. When my behavior was incongruent . . . keep reading
The Relativity of Your Life
We live in the world of the relative. What and whom we surround ourselves with, how we spend our waking hours, and the type of person we become is in direct relation to all that surrounds us. Many of our choices are conscious. They are the simple choices such as; "I prefer a black car to a green car, so I am buying the black car." Many of our choices are unconscious. They represent those areas of our lives where we feel disenchanted, disappointed, empty, frustrated, and unfulfilled. Our heads may tell us one thing, such . . . keep reading

What Till Death Do Us Part REALLY Means - Divine Source through Barbara Rose
Let me address this issue of eternity, this promise many couples demand of each other and recite in standard wedding vows. Taken literally, this promise is broken more than it is kept. But "Till death do us part" can be interpreted differently. In this phrase, "death" does not need to mean the end of physical life. It can mean the end of the couple's purpose for being together; once the purpose is fulfilled, the union no longer needs to continue. Now that I have just shocked and mortified the majority of the . . . keep reading
