“Goodbye.” Ugh, I absolutely hate that word. It’s not that there are many people who actually like the word and the actions that align with it. But for me, goodbyes are painful and happen more than I’d like them to. Throughout my life, I’ve always been known as “the quiet one.” People tend to overlook and forget about me. They also ignore me and forget I’m around. I’ve been in a room filled with people and felt like I’m alone more than I will ever admit....

The common wisdom regarding the development of a happy relationship is that you need to be happy as an individual to begin with, and that it’s necessary to work on your own happiness first if you want to have a successful relationship. We’ve worked with hundreds of couples over the years as marriage therapists and have found that, actually, the opposite is true. RELATED: 12 Small Traits The Happiest Couples Have In Common...

She and her family live inside of a motel in Los Angeles where she started a GoFundMe to move out of the pricey room and transition into some sort of rental/apartment. Her viral ‘Motel Meals’ TikToks have people invested in her family’s story.

For example, I see a tough guy with a bunch of tattoos and my instant thought is “killer in bed,” while I have friends who think the same when they see a middle-aged George Constanza type. It takes all kinds, I guess. So, in all this judging and speculating of others, can our body type say a something about our sex skills? Well, if we go by science, yes it can....

When I searched for S&M bars there, I found a few, but there was one in particular that caught my eye because it has a very fulfilling website with a lot of pictures and information about the atmosphere. It also has a chain shop in Tokyo, so I decided it was the one. This was it… I needed to visit this place! I planned to go by myself, but I thought it might be a little weird if I went alone the first time, so I asked my friend, who wasn’t interested in “playing” but was willing to play along to check it out with me....

Minimalism became all the buzz since the Netflix series “Tidying up with Marie Kondo” premiered. Some might say it’s just a fad or a craze. The truth is, however, minimalism has been around for a very long time in many parts of the world. In the worlds of art and fashion, minimalism hit the scene in the 1960s. The main idea behind all forms of minimalism is that “less is more....

Early pregnancy is so damn unfair. The days drag on as if their sole purpose is to drive me mad. Every time I use the bathroom, I check the toilet paper for blood. Every time something brushes up against my breast, I wonder why it’s not more tender. I wake up after a full night’s sleep and wonder why I haven’t yet had to wake up and use the bathroom....

How does this help you become a magnet for what you want? Vibrations Attract Similar Energy There is a universal principle called the Law of Attraction that you’ve probably heard about. It states that “like attracts like,” which means that a higher vibration naturally attracts a similar frequency. The same is true in reverse for a lower vibe. The point is, when you are feeling upbeat and positive, you will attract more of that same higher energy....

Yes, I know that’s a controversial statement. And having spent years in recovery from religious trauma (and still a long way to go), it’s not a path to parental enlightenment I’d particularly recommend. But in the decade and a half since escaping the strict, destructive religious world I was raised in, losing and rediscovering my own personal faith, and becoming a mom, I have armed myself with a few guidelines on how I intend to raise my daughter in the safest possible relationship with religion....

This sliver of a Moon is what ties us to belief, itself. From our belief, we create the world around us, and if we look up and catch the silver-blue glint of moonlight, we can feel that our hopes and dreams are being felt — and honored — by the Moon itself. Leo instills in us courage and self-confidence. This is no false bravado here; this is the real thing, and many of us need the real thing during this time....

If you aren’t yet familiar with this concept of love languages in general, here’s some background for you. In 1995, Dr. Gary Chapman wrote “The 5 Languages of Love: How To Express Your Commitment To Your Mate.” In his iconic book, he uses these terms to designate the five love languages: physical touch, words of affirmation, receiving gifts, quality time, and acts of service.

Throughout my time as an excellence-seeking perfectionist (meaning I have a high level of standards for myself and the people in my life), I have found that being perfect isn’t a strength, it’s a weakness.

So why not tap into that? We’re all abreast with the two basic states of consciousness: sleep and wakefulness. But have you wondered, what happens in between them?

I hear so many women fight for the right to be taken advantage of by men who know they have the emotional upperhand in the relationship. These women really believe they are doing their fair share by bending over backward to keep a man happy, under the guise that they must “play fair” with men. And because some women care too much about men and their opinions, most men play accordingly, while reaping the benefits of a woman who isn’t in touch with her desires and expectations in a relationship....

There’s a quote I found recently that really speaks volumes. It reads: “Do me good, and I’ll do you better. Do me bad and I won’t even do you worse. Enjoy my absence, though.” It made me open my eyes. I’m a kind person. If you ask anyone, I can guarantee that’s how they describe me. I’m kind, I’ll do anything for you, and you can always find a friend within me....
