Hello Bloggers, 2011

Well! At last! For about 6 months Clo, my partner and excellent computer expert, Marketa, my web designer, and I have been trying to get a clear route from my web to my blog. I must say, I believe my computer is my electronic nemesis, created to terrorize me daily and make me feel like dummy and a clod. However, Clo and Marketa got me back on tract yesterday and at last, I can write and you can find me. Much of 2010 I wrote and you didn't even know it. I got lost in a blog created by it's own self and accessible only by my password, which of course, no one knows but me. That's the point isn't it????

I suggest you check my winter 2011 newsletter on my web. I have written a book report on Dr. Sue Johnson's book Hold Me Tight. I am also offering a special for anyone who has read the entire 2011 Blooming Relationships Newsletter. Generous of me, huh?!

Dr. Johnson has done incredible research on attachment theory which in a nut shell means in order to thrive everyone, children and adults, absolutely must feel loved. Many years ago an important teacher and mentor in my life taught me that we all are searching for where we fit and where we belong. Imago adds the crucial need for feeling safe. Put it all together, and there is the recipe for happiness: a flooding of love (feeling loved), a heart open to welcome you (fitting and belonging), and being able to trust you are safe from emotional, physical, verbal, and spiritual wounding(it is your job to say and do things that help your partner feel safe with you).

Life is good. Check it out with someone who has faced death. I am still working on what I REALLY believe happens after we take our last breath here. But until I have it worked out, this is where I want to be. And helping guide and facilitate you to improve the pleasure and hope in your relationship is the major work I want to be doing.

Email me. I love hearing from you. Warmly, Nancy
