How do we define it? What does it mean in our daily lives? How important is it to trust people in general? How important is it to trust those close to us, or even far away? Where do lines get drawn between trust and lack of it? Have you ever noticed at times they can blur to the point of nonexistance? What happens when we trust to much? What happens when we become so jaded that we can no longer trust anyone? Trust is so essential to life. Trust is so easy to break and so very hard to rebuild. Some people spend a lifetime trying. Some simply give up. I would love to hear from you so please call in at Guest Call In (347) 843-4325 where you can listen or speak up.

I would love to discuss intimate relationships of all types. We have monogamous couples, bi-couples, polygamous couples, open relationships, closed relationships, single relations, swingers, BDSM, Fetishes and probably more than even I just listed. I want to know how they work? What makes a relationship functional? What is going to make them fail? How do we really define relationships today? What do they mean to you? How do you handle them? Are certain relationships better than others? If so, why, what makes one thing better than another. Relationships and sex are another area I want to hear from you on.  Relationships form the backbone of society. In every person's life they have formed relationships with many different people. All of these relationships are not the same though. Some the person might not even consider to be relationships. Also the interactions and dynamics of each of these relationships are so vast. Yet we do them without thought. We are on auto pilot with most. However we think about relationships at times to the point of obsession. I want to hear what you have to say about relationships. Guest can call in at (347) 843-4325 during the show and just listen or come online and talk.   I believe you can also come online and listen at  http://www.blogtalkradio.com/everimprovingme/2015/02/02/relationships-sexual-love-couples-open-closed-bdsm-monogamous-polygamous 01:15:00Lifes Lessons Extreme Contentnorelationships,relationship advice,Ever Improving Me,Johanna Spalding,EverImprovingMe Advice VlogSome highlights of the clip:  11 min: Discssussed relationship with mothers 20 min: Discussed ideal relationships, being Pan, Poly & Single after marriage. 2http://www.blogtalkradio.com/everimprovingme/2015/01/25/how-do-you-start-over-when-you-have-lost-it-all-lets-find-outBlogshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/everimprovingme/2015/01/25/how-do-you-start-over-when-you-have-lost-it-all-lets-find-out/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/everimprovingme/2015/01/25/how-do-you-start-over-when-you-have-lost-it-all-lets-find-outSun, 25 Jan 2015 00:30:00 GMTHow do you start over when you have lost it all? Let's find outStarting over is one of the most difficult tasks that a person will face. Sometimes situations outside of your control force you to have to start over, sometimes with little to nothing. You may feel that your world is collapsing all around you. It might feel as though there is no way to do it, that it is impossible. Starting over can be a very painful process.  Starting over can also become a very positive experience if you allow it to be. You can see it as a fresh start, giving you the ability to recreate the person you are to become the person you truly want to be. Starting over gives you choices that were not available before, you just have to open your eyes and see them.  I would love to hear your thoughts on the subject of starting over.

I decided I wanted to bring the discussion here. Sex and Gender are very defining in life, and society. We have assigned many skills, habits or personality traits according to sex or gender. How have we always defined these words? How do we define them today? Do the terms Male and Female really define us as they used to? Is it actually correct to say someone is either Male or Female from birth and that is just that? Can Sex change? Can gender? Must a person be Male or Female always? What else is there? How do we feel when someone decides to change Sex or Gender? Does it even matter? How does this effect you or I? Are there social issues surrounding these topics?
