Bride Prepares to Wed on Her 100th Birthday!
Greetings!
I couldn’t resist posting this YouTube video for you today! One of my colleagues sent it to me recently with a note that read: “Isn’t it grand that some people know you are NEVER too old for love?”
The title of this video is 100-Year-Old Bride!
The video is Dana Jackson’s 100th birthday celebration (February 06, 2012) which is also her wedding day–that’s right! She married Bill Strauss, 87, at the Rosewood Health Care Center in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
At first glance one could be judgmental, raise an eyebrow or have a disparaging thought about the content in this video. But on further reflection, I hope you agree with me that the message in this short video is life affirming and self-esteeming.
What do you think?
Please comment on this Blog post. I would love to have your thoughts!
Remember, only YOU can make it happen!

Intimacy Can be Yours—If You Act on It!
Creating, nurturing and maintaining intimacy in long-term, committed relationships requires intention, deliberate choice and deliberate action. Nothing about creating intimacy and truly being intimate with another person is unconscious. Closeness is enhanced through purposeful sensitivity, tenderness and respect for each other.
Being congruent is a process in which you value yourself; you take ownership of your thoughts and feelings, and your resources and choices; honor and express your deepest knowing about yourself and be sure that what you say and how you say it match what you are feeling.
There are three good reasons that you and your partner might not always communicate effectively with each other.
Don’t Ever Be Too Busy To Create Intimacy With HIM!
Intimacy isn’t an automatic response. Intimacy isn’t a given because you love someone or feel loved by someone. Intimacy doesn’t come with a commitment or with a marriage license. The basic, fundamental element of intimacy is cherishing each other!
Creating, nurturing and maintaining intimacy in long-term, committed relationships is the toughest and the most worthwhile undertaking one can accomplish.
It requires intention, deliberate choice and deliberate action. Nothing about creating intimacy and truly being intimate with another person is unconscious. Closeness is enhanced through purposeful sensitivity, tenderness and respect for each other.

The Secret about Your Family’s Imprint on Your Beliefs and Attitudes
We are imprinted, positively and negatively, by the beliefs, attitudes, values and behaviors of those in our families.
For thousands of years people have passed along their wisdom and knowledge and built on the past and moved forward into the future telling each other stories.
Storytelling helps us make sense of our early life and family life, and often provides essential clues about the values, behaviors, attitudes and beliefs that we have embraced and live by, or have rejected and replaced.
Part of learning to tell and write our stories, is recognizing the themes and patterns of family beliefs, attitudes, values and behaviors.
Does your family have a mythology about children, elders, illness, money, expressing emotion, career etc., to which everyone subscribes?
We will never sell, rent, or share your email address with anyone!
