First, living apart may be one way to enhance the novelty or excitement in a relationship. In the beginning, couples tend to engage in lots of novel and exciting activities together – what researchers call self-expanding activities. 3  They dress up for dates, they explore new parts of the city, they try each other’s hobbies, and they have engaging discussions with each other.

Prompt #2: Windows  The prompt today is to cut a window in paper.  Using an x-acto knife against a fabric cutting board, cut a window in an index card or cardstock.

As you transform, the energy of the entire lineage preceding you is transformed, for it is all happening now through you, as you. You are the one who can heal old wounds for your entire lineage, forgive old enemies, shift conditioning and beliefs, release pain that has held preceding generations captive for centuries. "  ~ Dr Judith Rich Healing the Lineage How does your photo evoke feelings from the past? Do any memories come up when you look at it? ~it brings a pressing smile of greater times, cherished momeries ill forever hold dear to my heart. laugh attacks are what conjures up within me when i look at this picture. just her laugh would 10x increase the laughter with everyone around her.  If you had to choose a book or movie title to describe your photo today, what would it be?  Boo...
