Relationships are an every changing thing. An acquaintance might become a closer friend or a friend becomes a lover or a lover leaves altogether or you find a way to make it back to friends. Our relationships influence every aspect of our lives from what we eat, what we wear, how we play or how we pray. We learn things and have experiences with others that impact our very DNA. So how do we make this the best year ever? One thing that I'm playing with that seems to be tremendously helpful is compassion. Compassion allows me to see things from anothers point of view. Compassion allows me to see why they are being or doing things the way they are. Since I can not control or change any other person to suit my ideas, I get to shift myself to create more of what I want. It's magical really. I've created so many more wonderful friendships with this practice. Neighbors I never spoke with are now friends and fun dates seem to come out of nowhere. I'm meeting interesting, wonderful people where ever I go and the difficult ones just fall away. I'm looking forward to seeing what I create this year as it just gets better and better all the time!!!
