Relationship is a most fundamental skill.
Good relationships form the foundation for everything we long for in life.
Relationship is a domain of learning. Like music or sports, you practice to get good at it.
Simply learning the basics creates more love – at home, work, and in the world.
I offer the path to mastery.

My husband exudes a certain elegance. I wouldn’t call him arrogant or elitist. But it’s obvious. He simply walks with the self-confidence of someone who knows he belongs wherever he is. He can’t help it. “It’s genetic,” he explains. He may be right. Once, in attempting to describe this je ne sais quoi about him …
In this season of Passover we find ourselves in the midst of a new killing spree. Instead of the Pharaoh we have Corona. We’ve all become Jews painting Lysol rather than lamb’s blood on our door frames as we hunker down waiting for the angel of death to move on. Normally Passover is celebrated for …
It seems to me that our country (and our world) is more divided than ever. An interaction with the new husband of a long-time friend at my grandson Luke’s bar mitzvah celebration is a great example of what’s killing us. I’d just gotten a drink and was winding my way to the dance floor when …
My mother used to tell me, “No means no.” Not very illuminating. As a teenager, NO was a clear rejection, an invalidation of me. I never wanted to ask for anything that would produce that response. Therefore, I was very measured about what I asked for. As a young bride, NO meant, “I don’t love …
After two and a half years of an on-again/off-again relationship, Diana called it quits. I asked her why and she said, “We had a big gap in our education. I love to move around. He likes to sit around. He has no spiritual path.” The story is all too familiar – falling in love; life …
Attractiveness – I hear it often – “I’ll be attractive when I lose 20 pounds,” or “Get a promotion,” or “A new car,” or… If you don’t see yourself as attractive as you would like, you’ve probably been short-changed by looking in the wrong mirror – one that’s been polished by Mother Culture in which you …
‘we’ is a physical, emotional, and spiritual experience of two or more individuals in which each is fully satisfied in their coexistence. Enlightenment may be ‘we’ extended into the universe, but I want to talk about ‘we’ in the simplest terms of two. ‘we’ is the feeling you have when your touch of another produces …
Identity is a story that comes in three basic parts. First is communion – who we are connected to, who we love; second is agency – what we have done and contributed in our lives; and third, redemption – how we have transformed the bad things that happened to us into something good. Most of …
Do you wake up in the middle of the night and lie awake for too long? I do. Often. I have fallen into an (annoying) habit of awakening in the middle of the night, usually between 2 and 4 am, and staying awake for 1.5-2 hours. I know I’m not alone. Many of my friends …
What distinguishes partnership, whether intimate or business, from all other types of relationship is the declared commitment of each of the partners, “Your concerns are my concerns.” That means I will hold your concerns as important to be addressed as my own. Concerns are not about wants. They are expressions of needs. Declaring YCAMC …
