People come to me because their relationships have been painfully unsuccessful. Often they are focused on romantic difficulties, but what I hope they will learn from me is how to have happy, healthy, interdependent relationships in every instance. Every day I am grateful to my teachers. This is where I begin outlining the Basics. When one becomes confused in their practice of new behaviors, returning to the Basics may bring clarity.
* TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF: Self-care and personal responsibility comes first.
* LOVE OTHERS ENOUGH TO ALLOW THEM TO BE SELF-RESPONSIBLE: Caring rather than care-taking.
* ZERO TOLERANCE FOR ABUSE: I will not abuse another, nor will I be abused.
* CREATE PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL SAFETY FOR ONESELF: A lifted hand, palm turned outward -- the universal signal to STOP.
* BECOME SAFE FOR OTHERS: Single purpose, unconditional love.
* SPIRITUALITY: Who I am in relationship to God, as I understand God, myself, and others.
* SOME RELATIONSHIPS WON'T WORK: Let them go with love.
