I love true stories about our relationship with birds and animals. So here’s a lovely article by Steve Pavlina.
I have reproduced it here for you because it has a message of human – animal relationships.
Or in this case a human – bird relationship that is very dear to my own heart.
It’s the type of thing that given the chance I would have loved to have done myself. But having no humming birds in our neck of the woods it is virtually impossible!
Still it has a lovely message that I’m sure will resonate with you as a reader of Relationship World.

Many women no longer expect commitment in their relationships. They are scared of rocking the boat by asking too much of their mates.

Which of course is excellent news for you because if you are in the habit of running yourself down or belittling yourself you can change all that simply by projecting a more confident attitude. Read the rest of this entry »
