When we fail to get the response or connection with our partner that we want, perhaps we should stop and look at our own thoughts and behavior.

'Live your life at the campfire' says Brandon Bays (The Journey), meaning that we don't need to wait years to deal with issues but rather deal with them right here in the now. Whenever you are ready to let go of stored emotions, empty out all the past pain and come to a place where complete forgiveness is possible - let it happen! Your life will provide you with enough opportunities to learn, understand, and let go - WHEN you do each step is your choice.

A common theme in my articles, on my website, and in my coaching practice is on needs. For our purposes we define a need as a condition requiring relief.
