catch decide feels mention notice themselves
You catch them doing something right, you notice and you mention it. So they can see and decide for themselves that it feels better to be told something good.
dealing families struggling
We all know families that are struggling or dealing with different things. And we don't know what to say or what to do.
easy eating exercise good retain self
It's really easy to give up all of those things important for self-preservation. You need to keep your sleep, exercise and retain good eating habits.
allow buffer enjoy holiday people relax self stress time
You need to find something that can buffer holiday stress ...and allow down time to self preserve. People need time to just chill, relax and enjoy each other.
love-is sight brain
Love is blind, they say--but isn't it more that love makes us see too much? Isn't it more that love floods our brain with sights and sounds, so that everything looks bigger, brighter, more lovely than ever before?
moving perfection target
Perfection is a moving target
way use imagine
Imagine it. Use all your strength and imagine it exactly. And it will happen that way.
falling-in-love children hero
Stories are thick with meanings. You can fall in love with a story for what you think it says, but you can't know for certain where it will lead your listeners. If you're telling a tale to teach children to be generous, they may fix instead on the part where your hero hides in an olive jar, then spend the whole next day fighting about who gets to try it first. People take what they need from the stories they hear. The tale is often wiser than the teller.

goodbye saying-goodbye sometimes
Sometimes we have so much to say, we cannot say it. Sometimes it's best we do not say goodbyes.
mistake passion loss
We carry on. We have ourselves and we carry on- in spite of our losses and mistakes and women, I think, have more than most. We are good secret-keepers. We can tie weights to out guilt and passions, and hatred and deceitfulness, and let them sink down, so that you'd never know they existed at all. But we know. I can count all mine.
summer rain love-is
Love is as varied and unpredictable as the rain is: it comes in constant summer drizzles, or sudden, unforseen storms that make rivers burst their banks and Cornish fishing boats rock and spill and lose their crew in the Atlantic.
kissing doors feelings
Kisses open doors, I've noticed. That one gesture can unlock secrets, ease open feelings. It can't be prevented--these kisses just are. It's how they work. They break into basements you never knew you had.
hurt what-if ifs
What if...? A question we ask to hurt ourselves.
