Providence Dating Success Series – How We Date Now

If this is how we date now, dating has changed. Everything has changed, so why not dating as well? I was reading the following article This Is How We Date Now and found it stimulating and disturbing. I do not have direct experience with this form of dating world. My relationships, past and present, are not on display on Facebook, twitter or anywhere else. Even before the Internet, I have never been one desiring to create happy, shining photographs posing with fake smiles. The fact that I have never felt moved to do so, does not mean I do not understand the need to document life as positive and happy. My denial expresses itself differently....

Providence Dating Coach Success Series – Changing Dishonest Dating Culture

Isn't it time for changing dishonest dating culture? Have we had enough of men and women pretending to be something they're not when dating a new potential partner? Why are honesty and dating concepts that rarely intersect? Does anybody really enjoy finding out eight months later the person they are dating has nothing to do with the person they first met?  Why are we so afraid to show others who we really are?

Is Reiki Science or Hype?

Reiki has been in my life so long, it is hard for me to imagine Reiki being something foreign, mystical or unusual. I first received training in 1995 and have practiced Reiki in some form every day since. Based on that information, you can see how hard it is for me to question; is Reiki science or hype? For me, that would be like questioning is water wet or if night is dark....

Doubt

Doubt. Just writing the word stirs something inside me. I'm aware of feeling uncomfortable just seeing it, and since I'm using voice recognition software, saying it out loud. Doubt. Where does doubt come from? Are we taught doubt? Is doubt ingrained in our DNA? I wonder how much our life experiences influence the degree of doubt that expresses itself in our mind and body? ...

The Feminist Guide To Non-Creepy Flirting

I was reading The Feminist Guide to Non-Creepy Flirting and thought it may be helpful to share with readers. I know many men see the word "feminist" and immediately stop reading or become defensive. For the men that this applies to, I invite you to hang in there and reap the benefits of the wisdom and knowledge helping you connect with women that you want to meet. I do not believe anything that is written below is either offensive or disrespectful. In fact, I wish when I was young, the information that is shared here was available to me. I am certain many women along the way would have been grateful as well! I hope you enjoy the Feminist Guide to Non-Creepy Flirting as much as I did....


Spiritual Greed and Gluttony – Dark Night of The Soul

I Remember about a dozen years ago, I was going through a particularly challenging time that felt like a hopeless period In my personal and spiritual development. Among other things, my mentor had suggested I read and meditate on Dark Night Of The Soul by St. John of The Cross.  She suggested I pay close attention to the teachings on spiritual greed and gluttony.
