Take it from a guy: If you're in love with somebody, you will swim the stream, you will climb the mountain, you will slay the dragon. You're going to get to her somehow, some way.

You either get it or you don't. Become one of those who get it.

Unless you know who you are, you will always be vulnerable to what people say.

There is an interconnectedness among members that bonds the family, much like mountain climbers who rope themselves together when climbing a mountain, so that if someone should slip or need support, he's held up by the others until he regains his footing.

I think you're running into a lot of trouble if your idea of foreplay is, 'Brace yourself honey, here I come!'

At this very moment, you may be saying to yourself that you have any number of admirable qualities. You are a loyal friend, a caring person, someone who is smart, dependable, fun to be around. That's wonderful, and I'm happy for you, but let me ask you this: are you being any of those things to yourself?

Don't wait until you're in a crisis to come up with a crisis plan.
