  • Today’s topic came from our audience. We got a message from an age gap couple with a large age difference. The older partner has a fear that the younger partner will leave him for a younger man. The question is how does the older partner get over worrying that his or her younger partner will leave him for someone his or her own age?

    We discuss our experience and thoughts and hope that we offered some value on the issue.

  • Hi everyone and Happy New Year! Alan and I hope you are having a great start to 2021. We recorded a video/podcast with some of our thoughts about 2020 and some of our goals and dreams for 2021.

    Here are the questions we discussed. Feel free to use these questions as you make plans for the new year.

    What is my most treasured moment from 2020?

    Why was this moment so special to me? How did it make me feel?

    What has been my biggest challenge of 2020?

    What might be the learning opportunity for me within this challenge? How am I being encouraged to grow/change?

    How can I take this learning forward and show the Universe that I am ready to transform from the inside?

    What is my personal intention for 2021? (An intention is a positive statement written in the present tense. i.e. "I am living authentically and openly sharing my love!" Write out this intention and place it around your house as a reminder to repeat it often, helping to support your consciousness in bringing these positive qualities forward!)
