Relationships are based on four principles: respect, understanding, acceptance and appreciation.

Relationships can be a source of happiness and fulfillment. This is because they come with many rewards.

Relationships with friends and family give us people to share our lives, laugh, and help us during difficult times. Having a support system is important and this can add to our life.

While relationships can bring us much joy, they are also difficult at times.  Learning to navigate personalities, compromise, and individual needs is a process and journey in itself.

Sustaining a relationship with another person, whether it’s a parent, child, friend, co-worker or partner requires mindfulness, healthy communication, listening, and constant attention.  We make time for what is important!

My hope is that whatever brought you here, you will find some inspiration or a new perspective that will help you and your relationships.  🙂
