On April 25, 2020 / Big Love, Calling in The One, Featured Post, Luscious Love

Yesterday I attended the wedding of a good friend. Like many of us, Kimberly’s road to Happily Ever After was full of unexpected ups and downs. After having been high school sweethearts, she and her now-husband reconnected many years later. They fell back in love, created a blended family and decided they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. They planned a gorgeous wedding that I was invited to. I was very much looking forward to attending… Then came COVID-19. Just as with many other aspects of daily life, this pandemic has upset the plans of brides and grooms everywhere. And while in

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and if you’re like a lot of single ladies you may be thinking “Oh, great.

I recently had a first session with a client who was feeling down in the dumps. She was doing all the “right” things to inspire a Great Love, but wasn’t getting results. She was duty dating, attending online seminars, reading relationship blogs, but still… bumpkis. Since I knew she wasn’t laying up on the couch Friday and Saturday nights waiting for love to magically appear, I had a pretty good idea why she was stalling out. But before I spill the beans on how she turned the situation around, check in with yourself. How do you feel about the fruits

Recently I was watching the AFI Tribute to George Clooney and during the inductee ceremony, his wife, the British Human Rights Lawyer Amal Clooney took to the stage to say a few words about her husband. What followed was a seven minute tribute made remarkable by the fact that until that moment, she had not spoken publicly about her marriage. When she took to the stage she was the epitome of confidence, femininity and grace (three qualities that I encourage women to cultivate as they inspire a great love). Referring to George as “my love”, she expressed appreciation and admiration for

The upcoming wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle definitely fits the definition of a modern day fairy tale because this royal-bride-to-be does not fit the description of the woman many thought Harry would chose for his bride.

And yet here she is, on the threshold of a marriage anchored in deep love, partnership and respect.

The journey from first date to great love doesn’t just involve uploading better photos to your online profile. It’s true, attractive pictures equal more clicks and help create a magnetic online presence. But if experience has taught me anything, it’s that superficial approaches get superficial results.
