Everyone is basically good. I know this because whenever any of my clients did something immoral or destructive, they expressed guilt feelings even if no one ever caught them. I am also convinced that we are all naturally loving. I came to this conclusion when I noticed that after clients released all their anger, fear, and hurt, they instantly began to feel the underlying love that was always there, under their negative feelings, waiting patiently to be allowed to flow.



Often men and women were unaware of how they were feeling, what they wanted to communicate, and how to express their truth. I look forward to the day when "Romantic Relationships 101" will be a required course in schools, when we will be taught how to become aware of our feelings and to communicate appropriately. What a gift that would be for everyone! It was sad to see couples hurting for many years, because they lacked the necessary tools to build a healthy relationship. (Could you imagine what kind of houses would be built if we had no guidelines or the proper tools?)

The following suggestions are parts of a mini course called "Romantic Relationships 101." The goal is to provide you with important insights and solutions to help you experience the successful loving relationships you desire and deserve.

Our negative thoughts can block us from love. The following positive thoughts can help you create loving relationships. Write, sing, and/or say them until they become part of your automatic thinking.
