To choose authentic is to choose happy …
Choosing to do the “right” thing is simply choosing love over fear. Choosing love is the only way to be authentic. And choosing to be authentic is the only way to be happy.
We get distracted by what we hope will make us happy and lose sight of what will. But happy is a choice we can remember and come home to.… More

Can a woman give herself to a man, without …
I have often said that knowing, loving, and being who we are is the work of a lifetime. It’s the only work worth doing. Everything good–including love for life and others–is a byproduct of that. And I am grateful for my life’s work. I’m loving it!
I want to confess, though, that I am challenged in the face of my husband to hold on to me. It’s not because I married the wrong guy 15 years ago. It’s because I’m a woman, and he’s a man.

So, what do you want? Chances are, neither a chiseled jaw nor hot sex is at the top of your list. Knowing what IS on your list — as well as his — can keep you both satisfied, rather than feeling stuck. It’s not just a matter of staying or knowing that you will; it’s a matter of knowing that you want to.
You don’t commit once and for all; you are continually choosing.
And commitment is a two-edged sword.… More
