Where there is smoke…
A while ago, around Valentines Day, I got a call from a desperate man. His mother had heard about me and recommended he call. He was calling me from a camping trailer in his own driveway where he had been living since his wife had asked him to leave just a few days prior. He was very emotional. I spoke with him for about an hour as he told me how desperate he was to save his marriage. Cried as he claimed he would do anything to get her back. Literally sobbed while asking what he should do. It was sad and I felt for him. The entire call, all I wanted to say to him was, “Why didn’t you call earlier?”
Dr. John Grey once explained the severity of this issue between men and women in marriage. Typically, women are more like professional gardeners. They like to till the ground, plant new seeds and generally take care of the garden on a regular basis, wanting to make sure they clean out any trouble areas as soon as they see them arise. Thus not allowing any weeds take over their beautiful garden. Where men are more like firemen. They wait until they hear the bells ringing from a blaze that is already burning and then jump into action in order to try and put the fire out. Usually waiting or not waking up to the situation until it’s too late.
In my mentoring program I have found that when a woman comes to me with a challenge in her marriage, it can almost always be solved and the couple can learn to get back what they once had in their relationship. However, when men comes to me in a panic because their wife if fed up with them, it is almost always to late. They did not react when there was “smoke” telling them there might be a problem arising. They waited until the fire was out of control and then they come to me panicked for a way to put the fire out. That was the case with my Valentines caller. Read more ...

Top 10 Extended Family Holiday Survival Skills
1-Manage your own stress
Examine your own expectations and let go of some things so you'll be your best version of yourself and able to manage family conflict calmly.
2-You can't try to please everyone
It's not your job to make everyone happy and meet their expectations of you. Remember "no one died from disappointment!"
3-Schedule down time
Especially if you have family coming to stay with you during the holidays make sure to carve out time for you and for your marriage. Build self-care into the schedule so you don't get too overwhelmed.
4-Start with your own family then move outward
Ask yourself, your spouse, and your children how THEY want to spend their time, and make that top priority.
5-Just because you've always done it doesn't mean you have to continue to do it Traditions are meant to create meaning and promote bonding, not bondage. Choose to skip out on some of the expected things. That's the beauty of being an adult -- you get to choose what you want to do.
6-Set expectations ahead of time
If you know that in the past there have been conflicts, address it ahead of time. Where will family be staying? If you're hosting a party what are your expectations of others?
7-No on can "guilt trip" you without consent
When you're approached by a family member about an event you're not attending or why you didn't spend as much money as someone spent on you, don't take the bait!
8-Answer those awkward questions with confidence Read more ...

Mary LoVerde's Life Balance Show
Show Summary:
For 15 years, as a busy mother with a demanding career on the faculty of the University of Colorado School of Medicine , I tried the “superperson route” and failed. I struggled to keep up, turning to time management, prioritizing, delegating and juggling. I continued to feel overwhelmed and torn apart.
One day, while furiously working away at the computer and shouting at the kids to keep their distance, I realized a startling fact: In my zeal to get everything done, I had become disconnected from my family, my work, my community, my spirituality, and from the person I wanted to be.
So I adopted a new motto:
When you can’t keep up - CONNECT!
This show, laced with lots of humor and touching stories, will offer innovative, easy-to-adopt, heart warming strategies that you will want to begin immediately. You will learn new ways to stay connected to your spouse/partner, kids, elders, colleagues, community- and especially yourself.
I am committed to bringing you the best ideas I know about how you can stay connected to what is really important, resulting in a lighter, more joyful, and more abundant life.
