Cheater! Do Leopards Change Their Spots?

True or False: Once a Cheater Always a Cheater? Of course everyone knows that leopards don't change their spots.  That would be biologically impossible.  However, the cliché was developed to examine whether or not someone who is known for a certain behavior can ever have the capacity to change.  In this case, we are talking about cheaters. There is probably not a more painful experience to have, then to find out that someone you love and trust is cheating on you?.  You may feel, betrayed, violated, and misused.  How could they do that you! Maybe you confront them, and they [...]

Are You In A Codependent Relationship?

Codependent relationship is a term that is used quite commonly, but often misconstrued. Codependent relationship Back in the day it was believed that co-dependency was a good thing that meant that both parties brought something to the table, and depended on each other equally for their assets and qualities, while still respecting each other and keeping their independence.

Think about the businessman who dedicated his life to building a successful venture so [...]

COMMUNICATE, APPRECIATE AND VALIDATE.

Last night I was inspired to write...again based on my own experience.  So much so, I spent the majority of the night flipping from side to side and struggling to find the cold spot on the pillow. So here I am up at 4am furiously typing with no thought of proper punctuation or grammar usage (clearly corrected by the time you read this).

The words I [...]
