Understanding in relationships can be quite challenging. There are times when a woman...wanting to get her point across to a man...will come off as nagging, complaining and Hard to Please. A man likes to win. He likes to make his woman happy. He usually won't stay with a woman who tells ...
Does this sound familiar? You go on a date with someone. And it's Great. You look good. You feel good. You connect with this person. You laugh. It feels like you could talk for days. And when you say "good-bye" you can't wait for the next time... Because you're Absolutely, Positively ...

I love it when people tell me, "You're so lucky. You've never had a weight problem." Ha! Little do they know! I struggled with diets and weight gain for YEARS! I've been on Weight Watchers, Nutri-system, Jenny Craig, the Hotdog diet, the Grapefruit diet, the Cabbage diet...to name a FEW! ...
You've been seeing a man for quite some time. In the beginning, everything was great. You got along well. You thought you were headed for marriage. But now things are different. Life has happened.

"Tell me something bad," my client whined. "I love reading your newsletters and reading about your fabulous life and seeing how happy you are with your husband. But sometimes I really don't want to hear about it! Especially when I'm having so much difficulty. So tell me something that's not ...
A year after Lorenzo and I were married, we had a difficult time. No matter how much we loved each other, it seemed we were constantly fighting. We couldn't agree on anything. Not only were we challenged with the obvious...he's a man and I'm a woman...we had the added complication of Lorenzo ...
To Pay or Not to Pay? It's often a confusing question when dating a new man. What would you do in this situation? You're having dinner with a man you find very attractive. He's sexy, smart, sensitive and fun. He's a gentleman. He treats you well. He makes you laugh. He's entertaining. ...
The night before Valentine's Day, my husband, Lorenzo, walked up the stairs carrying a small bundle of fur. Looking up from my computer, I asked, "What's that? Is it stuffed? Is it alive?" Lorenzo set the "fluff ball" on the floor. It barely moved. I couldn't see his eyes for all the ...
As a Dating and Relationship Coach, I always advise my single clients to "Duty Date" more than one person at the same time until they're in a committed relationship. This is a "no-brainer" for my male clients! Men, by nature are built to be polygamous...meaning it's natural for them to have ...
So many questions. So many rules. When is it appropriate to have sex? When do you call? What do you do when he doesn't do what he says he's gonna to do? So many "do's and don'ts" of dating. It ain't easy. But to help you ease through the pain...here are 8 "Don'ts" to never "Do" in any ...

Last summer I received an e-mail from my cousin titled, "5 Essential Habits to Protect Your Most Essential Commodity...YOU." (The author wasn't mentioned, although they referenced the Girl Scouts.) At the time, I was "releasing a toleration" in my life and this article hit home. It validated ...
"Man's greatest motivating force is his desire to please woman" so writes Napoleon Hill in his iconic book, THINK & GROW RICH. According to Hill, men who accumulate large fortunes, gain power and fame do so to satisfy their desire to please women. If this is so, you have to consider: If a guy's great desire is to please you, you have the power to make or break him. Are you making or breaking him in your romantic relationship? It may (or may not) surprise you that men, despite all their toughness on the outside, are very sensitive inside. Men don't want to loose.

Recently, my friend hired a feng-shui artist to advise her on arranging her home to attract the love of her life. "Where's your man going to put his brief case? With so many pillows on your bed, where's he going to sleep?" the fueg-shui artist asked. My friend had an apartment filled with ...
