The Unknown Secret To Making Love Work

We live in a time when love is in short supply.

 Even on a personal basis I'm sure you would agree that we all need a little more love in our lives.

 Of both the intimate kind and the unconditional love kind.

 I learned a secret about those intangible things like love and peace in another time when they were badly needed.

 Back in the '70s.

 I was a bit of a hippie in the 1970s.

 I say "bit of" because half of my life was spent as a hippie and the other half donning a tie and a suit or jacket and heading off to the big city and the corporate world of advertising.

 At one time I was living on a 40 acre commune then, superman-like, transforming into a respectable creative type businessman working in a city office.

 That was insane but it gave me some insights into two different worlds at the time.

 So here's the hitherto unknown secret.

 In those time the expression:

 LOVE AND PEACE

 was a frequently used greeting.

 Love and flower power was in the air and we thought it was enough.

 Enough to say "Love and Peace" everywhere we went and it would make it so.

 It never happened.

 To merely speak the word, to talk about bringing about love or peace is great, but we need more.

 We need to MAKE IT HAPPEN.

 How so, you might well ask.

 The answer is to practice in our own small everyday lives what we want for the broader community.

 Even in that broader community is just you and the significant other with whom you would have this love, or peace, to share.

 How can we each bring love into our lives?

 How can we practice peace?

 Each of us in our own lives.

 It's the unknown secret to bringing the change we want.

 "Be the change you want in the world."

Your Greatest First Date Problem

What can I talk about? Isn't that a huge issue when going on a first date? Here are some tips on how to break the ice and succeed in your plans to make a great first impression. You want your date to have fun and you want to have fun, too! You want to ensure that the conversation is interesting and stimulating to both of you.  Body language always speaks first in any conversation.  When you are confident your body relaxes, becomes more open, you lean in, you smile, and you become more animated.  It's this non-verbal 'conversation' that matters in making first impressions. If you are tense or not at ease with yourself, you will be sitting back, crossing your legs, maybe your arms, your mouth will barely break a smile, and your eyes will be searching elsewhere in the room.  Knowing this will allow you to convey confidence with your body language and be off to a flying start - before you utter a single word.  Then your verbal dating conversation...

Love In The Spotlight

Love is like being thrown in the deep end and learning to swim without having had swimming lessons. Isn't it? Well okay, maybe you're one of the lucky ones who have an innate understanding of what it takes to fall in love and make it last a lifetime. Not many of us have that inbuilt instinct. Or am I wrong? I have started this blog to offer what I have learned about relationships, both of the falling in love kind and the getting on with other people kind and, yes, even the love thy neighbour and the love thine enemy kind. Oh yes, the love thy enemy kind is the hardest and yet the most crucial of all. One famous and very successful Australian businessman is said to have declared that to love your enemies will drive them crazy. It's true because I've tried it and it works. Perhaps a better term would be that it totally disarms them. Let me return to the more obvious aspect of relationships, that is, to find your soul mate in the first place, then to ma...
