and those who surround us. Our children deserve better than that." -- Common Sense Relationships

What this book offers.

While many relationship texts are filled with endless psychological terms and do's and don'ts, I've tried to use this space to illustrate the need for awareness and asking questions.  Why do we do what we do?  Where do our patterns of action and interaction come from?  Are we born with them?  Are they learned? 

We can learn to recognize the behaviors that get in the way of developing loving and lasting relationships.  We can also learn when we need to ask for help in getting past some of the stumbling blocks that keep us from healing and moving on to greater things.  There is no reason to stay stuck in the patterns of today and yesterday when we are perfectly capable of redefining who we are at any given moment in time.

What this book won't do is offer a lot of ritualized methodology and exercises for you to wade through.  There are competent counselors in your community to help you with the specifics of your relationship journey.  Knowing when to ask for outside help is up to each individual during their personal evolution.

What I will do is point out through fictional illustrations that everybody on the planet has room for improvement in their personal relationships, even with themselves.  We all make decisions to go left, or right, stay at home, go out, talk to people, or remain silent.  Our choices and how others react to them define the person we presently are, and the person we are becoming.  

We can certainly examine our past and reflect on how it influences our present, but we must not endlessly dwell on it.  If we recognize the pivotal moments in our early personal history, and find ways to value them and learn from those times, then we are less likely to repeat the negative outburst and errant behavioral moments in the present and future.

Change will happen, to all of us.  How we utilize the poignant and pivotal moments of each day will ultimately define the details of the lifetime journey we are on.   Instead of allowing the changes in our lives to serve as an excuse, to stay where we are at and blame others for our problems, we can look for opportunities to move forward and enhance our day to day existence.

Where do you go from here?

"We can learn to love more by being more tolerant of differing viewpoints and recognizing the 
value of diversity in all walks of life. The absence of malice and hatred will naturally open the door 
for acceptance and inclusiveness." -- Common Sense Relationships

"At the beginning of the twenty-first century, are we leaving behind an earth shattering 
legacy of hope and continued advancement, or are we intent on simply shattering 
the earth and all that it contains?" -- Common Sense Relationships

Why do you spend so much time reacting to
instead of interacting with your loved ones?

"Change is growth. Whether that growth is a tumor of negative outcomes that threatens 
to bring down other elements of our existence, or it's positive and lifts our spirits and those 
around us, is solely up to us. Whatever we focus on will eventually be what we receive."

"Educate yourself in the ways and thoughts of another human being.
Take that which you do not understand and learn of it's origins rather than throwing
hatred it's direction.  Investigate your own inner workings, developing a mastery of
your fears and misgivings so that they do not manifest themselves as violence born of
ignorance.  Keep tolerance in the foreground and accountability as it's foundation."
-- Common Sense Relationships

Life continually evolves, with or without
our active participation.  Take steps to design
your life the way you want it to be.

"Talk to your children as individuals, not as puppets you are directing in a play.  Understand
that they have needs, desires, fears, and doubts.  No, they're not on the same level as what
an adult deals with, but to a child and the world that they live in, the details of their existence 
are every bit as important to their well being as bringing home a paycheck is to you and me."
-- Common Sense Relationships

To make a better community and world,
begin by refining the relationships
closest to you.

Do not fear the what-ifs and unknowns of today
and tomorrow.  Instead, be fearful of going
to your grave wondering what could have
been.  Share your talents with the world.
 Don't let your dreams die with you.
