How To Tell If He Is Over It | March 5, 2010

My friend and her boyfriend have been together for about four months, exclusive for two. This is the first trimester of new boy times and is usually the sweetest. Over lunch last week she confessed that things had become different. Her man who once seemed long-term worthy was now a bit of a downer. He was depressed, moody and slowly became absent.  About six weeks later they broke up. She was relieved to finally not have to deal with walking on eggshells anymore, and in all actuality wasn’t surprised. She read the warnings crystal clear, and ladies it is time to … Read More »

Intentionality and Food | February 10, 2010

By Annemarie Colbin, Ph.D., Author of The Whole-Food Guide to Strong Bones: A Holistic Approach

“Made with love” is an ingredient I have often seen on home-made packaged cookies and other home-made foods in health food stores. It always seems like a sweet and nice thing to say, but without real meaning, a friendly, new-agey kind of sentiment. Turns out it’s quite real, and measurable.

Let me set the context for this column for you. At this time, I am the president of a small non-profit organization called Friends of the Institute of Noetic Sciences (FIONS). The organization it sprang … Read More »

The Single Girl Freak-out | February 9, 2010

There comes a time once a year, that makes many cringe. Some will come down with pseudo serious nausea, irrational thinking, unintentional bon bon eating, and lest we forget the waterworks. This time of year can be detrimental to our psyche, and without proper care we could end up spending an entire 24 hours utterly miserable.

Ten points and one golden star to the lucky reader to guess what day I am referring to.

Raise your hand if Valentine’s Day is not your idea of a good time. I would like to say that for those readers who are in happy, loving … Read More »

Unlocking A Gift of Love | February 4, 2010

A while back, my daughter was six.  Then, she turned seven.   A while back, my daughter repeatedly asked me to replay her favorite episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants™.  Not much later, she asked to watch an HBO special called “Locks of Love: the Kindest Cut” over and over again.  The documentary chronicles an organization that collects hair donations to make wigs for children who have lost their hair. My daughter’s first viewing was followed by many, many questions.

“Where did their hair go?” she asked.

“The children are not well,” I replied.  “Sometimes sickness makes hair fall out.  Sometimes medicine makes hair fall … Read More »

Divine Intervention- An Open Letter to the Recent Single Lady | November 8, 2009

To all the fabulous ladies recently out of a relationship:

I once read an article in which actress Cameron Diaz equated the breakup of a relationship by claiming it was divine intervention. The concept being, that this person has been cosmically removed; the universe intervened for your highest and best interest.

I could not agree more.

We as mortals cannot possibly understand the waves and crashed that occur in front of us. We are not designed that way. We do not know what will happen tomorrow, next week, or next year. This of course, is perfection. We would not keep reading the novel … Read More »

Trials, Tribulations, the Twenty Something | November 7, 2009

Sitting at my kitchen table, coffee in hand and a blank canvas in front of me, I can do nothing but ponder at what to write down, what to talk about, how to find the words to describe what it’s like to go through those trials and tribulations of being at the edge of the end of my twenties. Most people would look at me and think that I am crazy as I am about to write and complain about being in my twenties. Most people would say your twenties are the best years of your life; they are … Read More »

The Message, The Moment | October 6, 2009

When it comes to love and relationships, often times we keep our rose coloured glasses on. We excuse behaviour that we would have normally had serious issue with. We tend to see our partner in the best light, not only for our own hopes, but to confirm those feelings. However, sometimes our inner guiding light tells us otherwise. These are, in my opinion, considered messages, or moments in which the gal or guy of our dreams shows us who they are; and it is our choice on how to interpret it.

I spent much of 2009 with a man who cared … Read More »

Wisdom: Be Honest With Yourself | March 10, 2009

*Every time we rely on someone or something outside of us to provide us with love, success or happiness, we hand our power over. As soon as they don’t provide it we are defeated.

Ironically, when we decide to have love, success and happiness, we easily attract the people, events and objects that enhance this state.

As you continue to decide what matters most, be honest with yourself.
Stop ignoring the urge to get on with the work you know you should do or to finally redefine relationship: That whisper you keep hearing is the universe trying to get your attention. Make … Read More »
