17 Lies We Need to Stop Teaching Girls About Sex
It is common knowledge that young girls experience incredible pressure pushing them towards and pulling them away from sex. As if girls do not have a choice or their own vote on their sexuality. In reading 17 lies we need to stop teaching girls about sex by Julianne Ross, I am reminded of just how many ways young girls are influenced and pressured to meet the needs of others, whether that be their father, mother, friends, clergy or boyfriends. It's time we collectively begin teaching girls the truth about sex and their own sexuality. The lies we teach them are not productive, nor in their best interests.

Making College Campus Safe From Sexual Violence
It is not a new topic, or one that makes the news as often as many other forms of violence in our culture, but sexual violence reaches across America with little resistance. It generally takes a scandal at a university for sexual violence on a college campus to make headlines. We know about Drunk college student breaks into business, eats half a box of Hot Pockets, passes out, iPhone 6 Looks Crazy Thin in New Leaked Photos and Kim Kardashian Attacked By Elephant While Taking Selfie, but rarely hear about sexual violence prevention programs or men stepping forward to support the stoppage of sexual violence on college campus across our country.

Providence Life Coach Dating Success Series – Conscious Coupling
Conscious coupling seems to be getting a lot of press these days, celebrities tend to make this sort of thing happen - Madonna at The Kabbalah Centre and Julia Roberts with Hindu are examples of when they speak openly about religion or spirituality. I am not sure why this happens, but it does. I have never seen celebrities as people I wanted to be like, at least not those in the entertainment industry. Growing-up, there were many athletes that gave their time to worthy causes that I looked-up to for that reason int e 60's and 70's. I have never felt drawn to the fact that "so and so" said something, means it is something important or of value. Although it does seem that Richard Gere My Journey with Buddhism has really committed to the study and practice of Tibetan Buddhism without making it feel like a publicity stunt. I happened to be participating in the Kalachakra with The Dalai Llama back in 2000 with Richard Gere and other famous people present for the ten days of spiritual training. They all kept a low profile with no autographs or photos, just like everyone else receiving the training....
Overcoming Fear is Not as Easy as a Bumper Sticker Slogan
I bumped into this article today by accident Overcoming Fear is Not as Easy as a Bumper Sticker Slogan. I am very grateful for this and many accidents I make that guide me to where I need to be, not always where I want to be. Overcoming fear can be paralyzing to some people in certain circumstances. Fear is the four letter word that begins with "F" that can feel like a much dirtier word than its profane counterpart F**K. I remember hearing something annoying, cute and comforting many years ago, FEAR is False Evidence Appearing Real.

What’s The Point?
What’s The Point? I was meeting with a young couple the other day that is working through a pretty difficult stretch in their relationship. Amongst the various struggles, the one that was the loudest for me during and after our session was their collective sense of “What’s the point?” I think all of us as individuals, couples families and as a society have on some level experienced the question “What’s the point?”...
