Family of origin issues. *wince* For a great many of us the topic is cringe worthy or depressing or exhausting just to think about. Working with the issues we have acquired through living with (or surviving) or families is something we naturally do in our 20’s but may take much more. The process holds a…
DetailsRomantic love is blind. It’s weird and makes no sense. It’s magical and alchemical. Love allows us to surrender common sense and open ourselves to the improbable and miraculous.
