There are many things that we can do to perk up and strengthen our interpersonal relationships. Yet the most effective involves the saying of just three words. When spoken or conveyed, these statements have the power to forge new friendships, deepen old ones and restore relationships that have cooled. The following three-word phrases can enrich every relationship. "I'll Be There" If you have ever had to call a friend in the middle of the night, to take a sick child to hospital, or when your car has broken down some miles from home, you will know how good it feels to hear the phrase "I'll be there." Being there for another person is the greatest gift we can give. When we are truly present for other people, important things happen to them and us. We are renewed in love and friendship. We are restored emotionally and spiritually. Being there is at the very core of civility. "I Miss You" Perhaps more marriages could be saved and strengthen...

Honesty is telling “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.” Society’s definition of the truth telling is to tell the truth only if it does not make anyone uncomfortable, cause a conflict, and it makes you look good. Dishonesty caused me to feel disconnected from others and created small walls between my partner and me. If I wanted to create true intimacy and closeness, I was going to have to let my partner see all of me. This anger, hurt, or decision was all of me. It is not all of me what he wanted and left the relationship. Then, what kind of relationship would I have if he only knew part of me? Honesty can be tough but it is necessary if you want a close intimate relationship. Truth is the expression of love and is therefore always the necessary healing and loving action. Many of us we taught that telling the truth is sometimes not being kind or loving. That it can separate us from what we want most, but telling the truth only separates us from our l...

We do not express our love. We thought we do but not. Love is a feeling and the expression of that feeling is separate. It’s an action. There’s a practical reason why we don’t always express our love for another. Its an issue of time. We only have twenty-four hours in a day. Time reveals the truth. It’s then that we face t he crunch: is this the person we want to spend the rest of our life with; or is this the person we never want to see again? Is this someone whom we are naturally able to love; or is this someone from another planet? What time reveals is biorhythmic compatibility. The hidden compatibility that’s built into our physiology. You cannot see it, sense it, smell it, or feel it. However, it is there all right. A partner-selection through our biorhythms is performing a far more profound type. If the expression of love was a core ingredient to love, we would have to be stingy with whom we loved, because there simply wouldn’t be enough time to love everyone. I...

If I knew, it would be the last time that I would see you fall asleep;  I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.  If I knew, it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door  I would give you a hug, kiss, and call you back for one more.  If I knew, it would be the last time I would hear your voice lifted up in praise I would video tape each action and word, so I could play then back day after day. If I knew, it would be the last time  I could spare on extra minute to step and say, “I love you”, instead of assuming, you  would know I do. If I knew, it would be the last time I would be there to share your day; well I am sure you will have so many more, so I can  let just slip this one away. For surely there’s always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything just right. There will always be another day to say, “I love you”, and certainly, th...

Love creates feeling of unity. We feel toward others as we feel towards ourselves. We are as interested in their welfare, happiness, success, health and spiritual growth as much as we are about over own. Loving others means wanting them to be happy in whatever ways, they are guide to their happiness. It breeds understanding, compassion, forgiveness, happiness, excitement, peace, joy, and fulfillment and desires to be helpful in any way we can.  Love is expansion beyond our ego limitations. It is the ability to identify with the other, to let go of our self-interest and personal needs enough to really hear and understand the other’s need and interests. It means caring enough to sacrifice, when necessary, our own pleasures and desires when the other’s needs are obviously more important.  Love is the force that brings about unity and harmony. It is the “glue” of the universe. It helps person with different egos, desires, programming and needs to overcome all tho...

What do you feel when you love someone? If distilled down to its core components, what would those be? Yes, love is an emotion, a feeling, a wanting, and a “being”. We know all that and we know that it feels great to be love and to love. But what specific feelings, wanting or beings are present when we feel love? Here are some ingredients for you to know: Love is accepting Acceptance is labeling someone as “okay” and having no particular desire to change him or her. Who they are is perfectly fine with you. Everything is okay for you. His/Her attitude, the way he/she wear or choose his/her clothes, the way he/she speak, etc. You do not like him/her to change, because that is what you want in the first place. You pass no condition on whether you will love them or not. It is call the unconditional love. When your love is conditional, the moment they step outside your set of conditions, love evaporates. Love is appreciating Appreciation is one-step beyond acceptance. It ...

There are times when we are timid and shy about expressing the love we feel, for fear of embarrassing the other person or ourselves, we hesitate to say the actual words “I love you.” So we try to communicate the idea in other words. We say, “take care” or “Don’t drive too fast” or maybe “be good”. However, really, there are just other ways of saying “I love you”. As you are important to me, I care what happens to you, I do not want you to get hurt. We are sometimes very strange people. The only thing we want to say, and the one thing we should say, is the thing we do not say. Yet, because the feeling is so real, and the need to say it is so strong, we are drive to use other words and signs to say what we really mean. In addition, many times, the meaning never be communicated at all, and the other person is left feeling unloved and unwanted. Therefore, we have to listen for love in the words that people are saying to us. Sometimes the explicit words are necessary, but more often. The m...

You never realize how much you love someone until they’re gone. You never realize that… yes… once their love surrounded you, but now… what do you have? Memories… Why does love hurt so much, when it’s supposed to be such a good thing? Why do we dwell on the past, when the future is what matters? It’s something that…yeah… I guess it can’t helped, but maybe it’s harder for you than it is for someone else. Faint smells of cologne, a song on the radio, movie, single word, etc these things can bring back those memories. But, you can’t hide from these things because they’re there and no matter how hard you try to, they’ll always be there. Even when you have moved on to the future, and those things don’t trigger the memories as much as before, they still do. You can’t forget someone that you’ve loved. You may want to, but you can’t. Love cannot be forgotten no matter how hard we try, and how much we think it’ll ease the pain. It will always be there, forever. There are people who co...

It feels good when we are in-love. Everyone falls in love. However, others feel infatuated only and they think that they are in-love.  Infatuation and Love, both, typically begin with attraction.  They both give the feeling of excitement and happiness.  They both leave you desiring more.  Everyone is looking for love, but we do not know what love we all want and need? What does real love look like? How will we know when we have found it? Some think of “being in love” as an unexplainable feeling that we “fall in and out of”. Love often means different things to different people. Depending on who is doing the talking? Love can mean a feeling that may not last; a euphemism for a sexual relationship; self-sacrificing action on behalf of others; acceptance without criticism; being more honest than nice; having someone to talk with; etc… There are some feelings we have when we are infatuated and we do not feel it when we are in love. If you are infatuated you ...

An earthquake is a sudden, fast shaking of the earth. Earthquakes can strike without warning causing fires, landslides and explosions. Earthquakes happen when rock that is below the earth's surface breaks and shifts. Safety Message for Kids If you are indoors during an earthquake, drop, cover and hold on. Take cover under a sturdy table, desk or bench... hold on to one of the legs and cover your eyes. If there are no tables nearby, sit down against a wall. Pick a safe place where objects such as wall hangings will not fall on you. Stay away from windows, bookcases and tall, heavy furniture. Stay in your safety spot until the shaking stops. Check to see if you are injured and move carefully to avoid tripping over objects that may have fallen. Watch out for smaller earthquakes called aftershocks. Look out for fires. Earthquakes often cause fire alarms and fire sprinklers to go off. If you have to leave the building, use the stairs and not the elevator. If you are outside in ...

Winter storms derive their energy from the clash of two air masses of different temperatures and moisture levels. Winter storms usually form when an air mass of cold, dry, Canadian air moves south and interacts with a warm, moist air mass moving north from the Gulf of Mexico. The point where these two air masses meet is called a front. If cold air advances and pushes away the warm air, it forms a cold front. When warm air advances, it rides up over the denser, cold air mass to form a warm front. If neither air mass advances, it forms a stationary front. Safety Messages for Kids The best way to stay safe in a snow-storm is to stay inside Dress in many layers if you go outside to play after a snow-storm. Wear hats and mittens and come inside often for warm-up breaks. If you start to shiver or get very tired... or if your nose, fingers, toes or ear lobes start to feel numb or turn really pale... come inside right away and tell an adult. Action Steps for Adults Make sure kid...

A flood happens when too much rain falls. A flood is a a great flowing or overflowing of water onto land that is not usually submerged. A flood happens when too much rain, brought by storms and strong winds, falls and cannot be absorbed by the soil. Rivers burst their banks and the water spills onto the land. Strong winds blowing across the sea make huge waves that surge onto the land and flood coastal areas. Safety Messages for kids If you come upon flood waters, stop. Turn around and go another way. Climb to higher ground if possible. Stay away from flooded areas... even if it seems safe, the water may be rising. Never walk, swim or dive into the water because it may be moving very fast. If you area in a car, get out immediately and move to higher ground Never play around high water, storm drains, ditches, or ravines. Action Steps for Adults Know the terms used on radio or television that warn of potential flooding conditions. Flood/Flash Flood Watch : Flooding or f...

A tornado appears as a rotating, funnel-shaped cloud, striking the ground with whirling winds of up to 200 miles or 400 km per hour. A tornado spins like a top and may sound like an airplane or train. They can destroy large buildings, uproot trees and hurl vehicles hundreds of yards. They can also drive straw into trees. How do tornadoes form?  Most tornadoes form from thunderstorms. You need warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and cool, dry air from Canada. When these two air masses meet, they create instability in the atmosphere. A change in wind direction and an increase in wind speed with increasing height creates an invisible, horizontal spinning effect in the lower atmosphere. Rising air within the updraft tilts the rotating air from horizontal to vertical. An area of rotation, 2-6 miles wide, now extends through much of the storm. Most strong and violent tornadoes form within this area of strong rotation. Tornado Tips BEFORE A TORNADO: Have a disaster plan. Mak...
