Being In Our Joy

Are Men Just Hardwired To Cheat?
Why do spouses have affairs. Are men just hardwired to cheat? Men are hardwired for sex, sex and more sex. However men are not hardwired to cheat.

How Can I Parent Her?

Who Do You Think You Are?
Who do you think you are, some kind of fucking guru or what? I love this question! I know exactly who I am and believe that I always have. Actually I believe that we all know quite well who we are. We have simply practiced ourselves away from our inner-knowing. I have, quite consciously chosen, […]

Home For The Holidays WTF
The holidays are a really weird time for me. I have a lot of fun with my family but sometimes the dis-function is way to overwhelming.
