I met Matthew in a college course right after my marriage fell apart. We were paired as debate partners and right off the bat, I found him to be annoying and just way too much. But he grew on me and we became friends over the course of the semester.

Love... Romantic love. But do we really understand what it takes to hold on to it? Work for it? Maintain and grow it? As a single, I've come to the place where I'm moving away from the trial-and-error methodology when it comes to romantic relationships and I'm moving toward wise counsel and sound advice. It's true every couple is nuanced in some ways, but I'm finding in talking to loving couples, there are some lasting truths that can aid in maintaining and growing love: communication (real talk), working through hard times...2021-03-0357 minReasons Why with Angel ErickaWhy I Cut All My Hair OffTwo years ago, I started on a journey to be at one with myself and my Creator. I wanted to respect myself and accept myself as I am... naturally and organically.

I am learning to accept and respect my beauty, which comes from the inside out. I’m starting new.

Nick suggested a book to me called Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How It Can Help You Find and Keep Love by Amir Levine and Rachel S. Heller. Long title, right? I know. But it was an easy read and very insightful. In this second part of my conversation with Nick Moore, we discuss attachment styles, growing to love and be content with yourself and how to gain insight and wisdom from love gained then lost.
