Real communication in a relationship is about sharing. It’s about sharing your feelings and thoughts with someone you are close to.
It’s about discussing what you think and feel about the things that are important to you.

Only when we get a rude awakening once in a while, do we start to pay the slightest attention to nature’s messages. But we ignore them at our peril.
The recent oil spill in the gulf is just one example of the damage that can be done when we don’t take note of the bigger pattern.
