How Having a Child Changed My Outlook on Dating and Romantic Relationships

Now that I have a child, I look at dating and relationships much differently.

Becoming a mom has changed my perspective and my choice of partners. It has also provided me with a greater understanding, and acceptance, of those I let into my heart.

My son does things that cause me great frustration and I still love him something fierce. He can say or do anything and my feelings for him and about him do not change.

Unconditional love. It’s when we bring a child into our world (and into our hearts) that we truly comprehend this concept, and how powerfully healing it can be.

I look at Mr. Right and think about all of the amazing qualities he has, the wonderful and thoughtful things he has done for me, gifts he has made with his own hands. I could stare at them all day, mostly because he put so much time and energy into creating something especially, and only, for me. (I look at my son and his creations the same way.)

When we’re together, I don’t want to miss a thing. I take in every detail, paying attention to how my senses are affected – heightened – and how near tears I am at any given moment, my heart overflowing.

When I first brought my son home and even in the hospital, I wanted to stare at him all day and night. I didn’t want to sleep for fear I would miss something, a tiny detail that only a mom could see. I beam with pride when I watch him now, six years later: talking, learning, leaping and loving life.

Unconditional love. Imagine if we looked at every relationship and every person the same way we see our children. As perfect beings. Nothing less.

I accept Mr. Right for everything he is, all that he is not. I don’t want him to change, and yet I know I’d love him just the same if he did. We grow together, blossom in each other’s presence, just as the relationship with my son evolves and develops over time.

Having my son has given me a new perspective, one that I am ever so grateful for. Finding true love has changed my outlook as well.

Perfection. All around me. I am truly blessed.

My Last Year of Living Dangerously

It’s my birthday today. I’m officially 33 years of age. That’s approximately 12,045 days old, give or take a few days.

As the title to this post states, this is my last and final year of living dangerously. Not to say that I typically take risks like jump out of a plane or anything, but this will be the last year before entering The Interval.

The Interval is the time period between the ages of 34 – 43, a time when most life changes occur. This is the time when most mid-life crises take place and although I have 365 more days to prepare, I’m a bit excited already. You see, knowing ahead of time, being aware, makes this interval less stressful, less tumultuous and more positive in nature.

Nature, that’s what our life cycle is based on. Natural events that happen over time. None of us are exempt from The Interval but the more prepared we are, the healthier we are, the greater the chances are for getting through this time frame without any visible scars.

Wish me luck. These next 365 days are going to be fun-filled and adventuresome.

To better prepare yourself, no matter what phase of the life cycle you are in, start by taking this online survey and sit down with me (either in person, or over the phone) for a full consultation so I can help you get back on track to live your best life.

You deserve it!

The Knowledge of Y.O.U.

I was introduced to the Knowledge of Y.O.U. (Your Own Understanding) over a year ago, and my life has been forever changed and illuminated by the amazing people who helped create The Ultimate Life Tool and who give it life by sharing it with the world.

My turn to share it with you! The Ultimate Life Tool is a simple survey, at least that’s how it appears to those who take it to gain a greater understanding about themselves and the characteristics that make them each unique. What I can tell you, from hours of training and conversations about the science and nature that are behind the scenes of the test, is that each of us is as unique as our fingerprints.

The results of The Ultimate Life Tool serve to represent what motivates us, how we connect with others, how we process information, our personal levels of refinement and our energy levels. We can get all of this information to you and provide you with a 7-page Operating Manual (unique to you) which will help you understand where you are in The Cycle of Life and how we can help you reach your healthiest state.

The cool thing about the results is seeing how compatible you are with someone else. We can provide a couple’s compatibility report as well as the individual ones and we are working with companies seeking employees, single men and women looking for a life partner and couples wanting to reconnect after parenthood changes the dynamic of their roles and their relationship.

I’ve had my parents take it, my sister, my friends, clients and just recently, Mr. Right. Everyone who has been introduced to the Knowledge has learned to appreciate their strengths and recognize how and why their past relationships and their reaction to them happened the way they did. Overall, having the results of the test provides great relief, insight and validation that we all so genuinely need.

Our services have saved many people going through divorce, job loss, grief and addiction. For a limited time, I am offering a discounted price on the 7-page translation that is specific to you and where you are at this time in your life. While I offer more personalized services, connecting with you over the phone, in person, or via Skype, you can take the survey and get the results sent to you automatically if you prefer not to work with me at this time.

We are in the business of changing lives and helping individuals create perfect relationships, in their personal lives or in business.

Creating a Healthy Lifestyle

I’ve been lucky enough to work with the wonderful people at the Y.O.U. Consulting Group for the last several months and they’ve allowed me to take a new approach with The Ultimate Life Tool, giving me the go-ahead to bring this technology to the online world through UStream.

Tomorrow, and every Wednesday night, a Certified Practitioner will host an online Test Drive of this assessment tool and you get a chance to have a FREE session to learn a little bit more about you, your energy levels and how The Ultimate Life Tool can benefit you.

Whether it’s your personal life or business relationships that you’re looking to enhance, we can help! Head over to the YCG website and complete the survey by using the code USTREAM after entering in your personal information. You’ll be assigned to me and I’ll be going over your results tomorrow, LIVE, during our half-hour program, or if we don’t have time, we’ll go over it on another episode.

Each week we’ll have a different topic so be sure to check back each and every Wednesday night at 7pm (PST). Here are the dates and the themes for the upcoming shows:

June 10 Living a Healthy Lifestyle
June 17 The “Interval”
June 24 Grieving
July 1 Finding your Maximum Attraction
July 8 Dealing with a Toxic Boss

I look forward to sharing this wisdom and knowledge with you as you gain a greater understanding of you and the people in your lives.
