Apart from sharing microscopically, we have been building our lives in a big way. We are busy leading Workshops and receiving great reviews.  
  
We will be guests on the talk radio show of Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks this Thursday at 1pm Pacific time, and we are very excited about that. They are the very best in the world in what Shawn and I do. We are honoured. Here’s the link if you’d like to listen in: Click Here!!! 
 
Our corporate workshops are building well, as Trust in the Workplace seems to be a bit of an issue these days… Trust in the Workplace, home, world…. Trust seems to be lacking everywhere, yet if I want to have the experience of truly open and honest relationships, I have to trust. I being the key word here… I have to trust anyway… and one of the ways I can do that is to practice being truthful.
 
We are currently reading a book by Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks called, “Conscious Loving,” and we are learning about telling the microscopic truth. Our interpretation of  telling the microscopic truth means, saying anything that comes up that could get in the  way of having the greatest experience of a relationship with another. Anything.  Brilliant book, by the way. 
 
It’s a great concept, and I am practicing it, but not quite ready to take it on at the deepest level, yet. For example, Shawn came into the office last week and told me that he had been reading, “Conscious Loving,” and in the book it stated in effect, that if you are sexually attracted to another, then you need to tell your partner, because it is creating distance between you and your partner. Well….
 
Like I said, I’m not quite at that level yet, so I said to my darling husband…. “I kind of agree there honey,” for example… If you came home and said, “Wow, we have a beautiful new neighbour, she is really hot and I am very attracted to her,” I would probably respond with, “Great…Go f#*% her then………. And take all your s*%# with you!!!!!!”
 
We laughed, and it’s funny, and it’s true…We know how great it feels to be totally connected to one another, clean from any conflicts, and I also know that all those little things that bother me can add up really fast. So speaking the microscopic truth is an amazing tool and we are practicing it. And it’s practice… practice, practice, practice.
 
I know when I have stuff going on, and I’m not ready to share it, it’s going to come out, one way or another, so I may as well share it in a way that is honouring of myself and of my husband. Instead of three weeks from now throwing it all at him from left field…. And we all know how that feels – from both sides I imagine.
 
The Hendricks’ say that, “Hidden feelings have been implicated in nearly every human ill, from headache to cancer and heart disease. The act of hiding feelings is perhaps the most crippling component to relationship difficulty.”
 
So lighten up, have some fun and tell the truth… because, as I have heard it said before,  
  
The truth shall set you free.
 
Great learning Article from Lorraine this month… For Christmas this year, Shawn received a pepper mill engraved, ‘Jensen’s Talking Stick.’ We have a few family members that like to monopolize the family dinner talking time, and if you have the pepper, you have the floor. The salt shaker, on the other hand…Click Right Here for more… 
 
Dear Lorraine was a follow-up question from a radio show Monday night and Dear Shawn  was a follow up question to a recent workshop. All on the C word. That’s right…Commitment. And the S word. Right again…Support.
 
We had a Date with Tina and Ben last month…Good as it gets.
 
 
And as always, Love is the Answer,
 
Lorraine and Shawn
