I was thinking about this while practicing the piano the other day and it’s actually quite simple in my view… Sorry to break it to all you hopeless romantics but love alone is not enough to maintain a beautiful relationship :-( If love was enough, everyone who ever fell in love would be happily in their relationships forever after, right? But that's not the case. So if love isn’t enough then what else do you need? Well… You need the tools and skills. You see, a relationship is like a piano. You don’t play something beautiful on the piano just because you love music. You play something beautiful because you show up to the keys every day. Because you understand rhythm. Because you keep going, even when you hit the wrong notes. Because you tune it when it's out of harmony. Because you practice everyday, even when you're tired and you don't feel like it. Love is what you put in, but it’s not the piano. What tune are you getting in your relationship? That will depend on your ability to care… On your ability to communicate… On your ability to repair… On your ability to navigate conflict effectively… On your ability to stay present when you'd rather avoid And on your ability to heal your childhood wounds so they don't pollute the relationship. It's complex. It requires a lot of skill. And a beautiful relationship only happens when you are willing to show up consistently and are willing to sharpen your skills. Which is why I’m glad you’re here. Relationships takes effort and consistency, and if you get lazy, you will keep hitting bum notes and the music will sound terrible. What are your thoughts?

Consider this… Most of us carry scars from past relationships. Maybe someone betrayed your trust. Maybe you gave your all and still ended up heartbroken. Maybe you were made to feel like you weren’t enough. Whatever your experience, I want you to know this: Your past doesn’t have to shape your future. But if it goes unresolved, it will follow you into every relationship you enter. You might not notice it at first. But it shows up when something small goes wrong, and your instinct is to walk away… It shows up when there’s a disagreement, and suddenly you feel like pulling the plug on the whole thing… And I get it. I really do. It can be hard to trust again when you’ve been hurt. It can be hard to believe this one could be different when all you’ve known is disappointment. But here’s the truth: You might be treating your current or future partner as if they are your ex. You want to be in a connected relationship. But something inside of you is holding you back. And the person in front of you now or in the future, the one who shows up, who communicates, who cares… The one that’s trying to be in a relationship with you… You’re not letting them! And it’s not because you don’t care. It’s because your past has made you build walls instead of bridges. If this resonates with you, maybe it’s time to pause… and reflect. Let yourself be loved. Let yourself be chosen. Stop running from the very thing you've always wanted. You deserve the relationship you dream about. But first, you have to stop letting your past sabotage your present. If this resonates then let me know

Hey Ed , I signed up for the zoom meetings however I think I have been missing them. I am in Canada so I think that might be why. When is the next one?
