We cannot ask that we be accepted for our authentic selves if we refuse to acknowledge the ugly parts of ourselves for ourselves. When we embrace all of who we are, we make it easier for others to do the same. Some of us are poor sports/sore losers, some are chronic liars, some are selfish, some are flip floppers, some of us lack love or empathy towards others, etc. These are all things which will surface over time and that time will come swifter than you can imagine. Tonight we will discuss how even the ugly parts of ourselves can be loved by those who love us. Join us tonight at 8:00 pm est by dialing (646) 668-2495, it will be raw, up close and real! 01:03:00Love In Full Enlightenmentno#It'sjusttheuglypartsofme,#weallgetalittleuglyattimes,#wearebothbeautyandbeastDoes your partner always see the same person that you see when you look in the mirror?http://www.blogtalkradio.com/loveinfullenlightenment/2016/10/14/sending-mixed-messages-and-toying-with-my-emotionsRelationshipshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/loveinfullenlightenment/2016/10/14/sending-mixed-messages-and-toying-with-my-emotions/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/loveinfullenlightenment/2016/10/14/sending-mixed-messages-and-toying-with-my-emotionsFri, 14 Oct 2016 00:00:00 GMTSending Mixed Messages and Toying With My EmotionsPlaying games in relationships is why people have very little faith that love can be true, rewarding, spiritual, and not just something you read about in fairytales. Sending mixed messages called "I want you, but I'm not ready and back to I want you" all in a thirty minute span, can keep your head spinning and your heart bleeding. This isn't a show of love, it is a safety net and an attempt at making sure that no matter what....you are guaranteed a relationship even if it is temporary. Your feelings aren’t meant to be toyed with and love isn’t a game to play. There’s no honor in bring game to your relationship and asking someone to open completely and allow you into sacred spaces of their inner selves. Tonight my co-host Skye Vonn and A. Michelle Grogan will join me, Minister Dupree-Alridge with the nitty gritty game of deception/game playing. We will discuss how to look for signs and trust your spirit when things don’t seem right.

Taking care of your relationship takes work no matter what, so put on your gloves and hat to put in the work. Even when you purchase a home with a well manicured lawn, if you don't stay on top of the up keep it turns into a total mess of a wilderness. So goes the nature of relationships when not tended. I can hear someone saying manure is good for growth. I will say with confidence you must know how to properly use manure to prevent burning. It has to be aged because fresh manure has too much nitrogen and some manure has urine in it which is also high in nitrogen. Not to mention you must keep out weeds and bugs, so keeping grass green takes work whether it's in your yard or the yard of another. Get out your fertilizer, weed killer, bug pesticide, hose, and your rake. Work your lawn daily and never think that it can go unattended. Yes, your loving relationship can be a rich green lawn filled with flowers, shrubs, fruits and veggies as long as you tend it with diligence and care. You're going to work whether it's greener or not, so work what you have instead of looking across into the yards you don't know anything about. It may look good until you're responsible for the upkeep. 01:05:00Love In Full Enlightenmentno#grassaintgreenerontheotherside,#love365eventhroughdislike,lovinginvibrantcolorLoving through the rough spots of dislike is more than just a notion, it's a testament to your love.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/loveinfullenlightenment/2016/09/02/loving-me-doesnt-mean-i-love-you-lessRelationshipshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/loveinfullenlightenment/2016/09/02/loving-me-doesnt-mean-i-love-you-less/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/loveinfullenlightenment/2016/09/02/loving-me-doesnt-mean-i-love-you-lessFri, 02 Sep 2016 00:00:00 GMTLoving Me Doesn't Mean I Love You LessHow many of us have fallen out of love with ourselves and somehow believe that we have love to give to others? We go about day after day with less and less love for ourselves and who we are. We put on all types of pretense thinking if we pretend to be someone other than ourselves, people will love us more. Losing ourselves or lost in who we should be while we and others miss out on the authentic person we were born to be. Tonight we will discuss just how important it is to have a healthy love of self and how it doesn't take anything away from the love of our partners or relationship.

They fight and talk about one another behind each others back about just how horrible things are, yet they will tell their friends how much they love said partner. A word to the wise....suggesting to your friend to break-up will get you nowhere in the conversation, so simply listen.Using the "B" word will cause them to become defensive, protective and alarmingly confused at the absurd idea you just slammed on the table. What they really are saying to you is....Being in the unhealthy relationship is better than loneliness (being alone), fear of being alive, guilt of leaving, put in too much time, you have stuff together, regrets of leaving the relationship to becoming single, and living in hope that it will change even when it has no chance of changing. Staying in relationships when you discover that you are just two incompatible people, the problem isn't something that's going to improve with time, but only increase your hatred over time. Instead of an expected change, you will come against many forms of abuses towards one another that will leave you broken and hardened. While you spend unending hours focusing on just how bad the other is or counting up all the abuses towards you, the biggest abuser rises up and it is You! You are breaking your own heart and you are the catalyst behind your pain once your eyes are open to your situation. Join my co-host A. Michelle Grogan, Janet Heard, Skye Vonn and myself Minister Dupree-Alridge, to discuss how to stop looking across the room for the creator of our pain and simply look in the mirrors at ourselves. We must take responsibility for our joy, peace of mind, and our lives for ourselves. Dial in to (646) 668-2495 at 8:00 pm EST Thursday night.

All of these types suffer from low self-esteem and some suffer from low self worth or over inflated worth. Social media has become a feeding ground for these types and when they log off they carry that persona around the house and inflict that behavior upon their partners and loved ones. Tonight my co-host A. Michelle Grogan, Janet Heard, and Skye Vonn and I will discuss how yo recognize when you're in a relationship with a Narcissist, Non-Supporter or Chameleon along with the affects these stooges bring into the relationship and your lives.

There are some commonalities that assist in making for a smoother ride through relationship land, but the notion of being a carbon copy of one another is an over the top expectation. Always remember that in order for growth to occur, one must come face to face with something new. When we engage in relationships with partners that have different life experiences than we do, we tend to have a greater capacity at growing experiences than if we have everything in common. Join me and my co-host A. Michelle Grogan, Janet Heard & Skye Vonn as we discuss having a partner that doesn’t match your commonalities 100% isn’t a bad thing.

Can we attach our love to material gains and feel as though our relationships can be taken serious by the buyer? When you are in a relationship, it’s important to maintain your focus upon the proper individuals. Many times couples or one member of the relationship tends to focus upon what other people think of their relationship, when in truth the focus of your relationship should simply be about the two people involved in the relationship. Gifts, flowers, trips, etc are all signs of appreciation and shouldn’t be used as bartering tools for sexual favors or as leverage to remain in the relationship/be your partner. "Passionate monogamy is what relationships/marriage ought to be. It should be where both individuals are committed to loving each other, to being patient and kind, and to actually empower each other with or without financial leverage." Are you wondering why your partner is calling you by that certain name, acusing you of only being in the relationship for money/material things, treating you like a trick, or just rapidly growing tired of your hand always in the extended position? Join us Thursday by dialing in to (646) 668-2495 at 8pm EST, to discuss a topic which is a much needed conversation. 01:20:00Love In Full Enlightenmentno#loveminuspricetags,#what'syourpricetagsay,#ifyoucanbeboughtyoucanbediscardedeasilyHave we become so detached and grown beyond a belief in love that we are willing to give ourselves over sexually in exchange for money or believe we can purchashttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/loveinfullenlightenment/2016/06/17/from-an-open-heart-to-a-blackened-eye-domestic-abuse-is-anti-loveRelationshipshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/loveinfullenlightenment/2016/06/17/from-an-open-heart-to-a-blackened-eye-domestic-abuse-is-anti-love/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/loveinfullenlightenment/2016/06/17/from-an-open-heart-to-a-blackened-eye-domestic-abuse-is-anti-loveFri, 17 Jun 2016 00:00:00 GMTFrom An Open Heart To A Blackened Eye: Domestic Abuse Is Anti-LoveIt’s a natural act for domestic abusers/terrorists to act in extremely cowardly ways. They desire to control and dominate what they believe to be weaker than them because they lack control over themselves. This is their deepest secret and they fear being discovered, so they terrorize and create fear within others to feel stronger. You don’t have to live in fear, kept behind walls silently crying out for help. Your cries are heard and we refuse to allow you to feel tramp with no way out. We stand in solidarity and strength sharing the keys to freedom. Join us as we reveal the nakedness of domestic abuse and remove the shame from the victors of survival and place it squarely upon the proper shoulders….the abuser(s)/terrorist(s). Co-host A.

None of these incidents are legitimate reasons to simply throw in the towel and raise your hands in surrendering style. Many of the pressures that occur in relationships should be expected and corrective modes readied before the pressure gets to the point of boiling over. The climate in society brings forth many tender spots that if you’re not careful, can destroy the very foundation of your relationship or cause one to never build an interest in having a relationship with others. Cultural/racial differences, family/money pressures and even cohabitation can completely destroy your relationship if you’re ill prepared to deal with the impact of individual differences that create pressure. Relationships require dual partnership managing to maintain stability. If you rely upon automatic pilot you’ll find yourself in the deep bushes of stress and pressure. Whenever anything cooks on high with a cover over it, pressure builds up. Relationships are no different and we must maintain ways to keep pressure from rising.

Aside from claiming love or friendship, you should also silently and fully show those terms as truth. Love is such a complex emotion that using it recklessly causes confusion and pain towards those you really don’t love. People go about calling others friend or using the words, “I love you”, while showing quite the opposite. It almost seems as though people lack the knowledge of what words really mean or they think they can redefine their meanings.   True love doesn’t talk behind your back what it wouldn’t say to your face. You know you love someone when you’re willing to go beyond set limits/boundaries.  “Love knows no boundary” isn’t just a Hallmark card saying, its truth.  A friend as defined by the dictionary is: A person whom one knows, likes, and trusts. I wish I could stop here and not break this meaning down further, but I would be remiss by not going deeper in explanation. A friend is someone who will aide, guide, and who will help you along your journey; as you would help them. You cannot expect someone to believe you when you call them friend if most of the negative things said about them are coming from you, a friend. Join your host Minister Dupree-Alridge, co-hosts A. Michelle Grogan, and Skye Vonn for a raw and truthful discussion about two misused words and true meaning.

The skill ability to freely give and receive love can become fragile from traumatic experiences which all too easily dented or damaged your sense vulnerability. I’m a living witness that love has healing abilities and learning how to be loved and how to interact with those who express genuine kindness, care, nurture and attention for you is possible. I don’t advocate that you throw away the lessons the people are capable of great cruelty or that life brings life situations that you’ve learned through trauma. What I advocate is that you begin to live again through the use of better discernment of whose love that you are willing to receive and how to heal past your trauma into wholeness with the help of a loving partner.

Because people are having difficult times loving themselves they see loving relationships as something temporary and the people within the relationship as easily replaceable. It’s difficult to make life long commitments to what is dispensable hence the high turn over in dating and the high numbers of cheating and marriages ending in divorce. Love is a life long endeavor. One cannot enter into love/loving relationships preparing for the exit and expect the relationship to work or the love to last. Think of your love and relationships as you would think of the purchasing of a home. You want to build up equity, stay on top of the upkeep of the home and property and pour your entire essence into making your house a home. A relationship and love deserves nothing less of a commitment to give life of longevity. Love is an emotion which you practice within your relationship as a lifestyle with a life long goal of gaining equity on your love. Your relationship should have greater meaning and worth as the years roll by. 01:23:00Love In Full Enlightenmentno#inittowinit,#i'mnotlosingmyfreedomi'mgainingtruefreedom,#ican'tgointhinkingit'soverbeforeitbeginsandwonderwhyitendsLove without character and commitment, isn't love at all.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/loveinfullenlightenment/2016/04/15/jealousy-the-relationship-killerRelationshipshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/loveinfullenlightenment/2016/04/15/jealousy-the-relationship-killer/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/loveinfullenlightenment/2016/04/15/jealousy-the-relationship-killerFri, 15 Apr 2016 00:00:00 GMTJealousy, The Relationship Killer Continued accusations, reassurance-seeking, pouting, and acting-out will produce a self-fulfilling prophecy. Just because a thought comes into your head doesn’t make it reality. When you don’t take a moment to center yourself and process what is false and what is real in your mind, you create an opening for the very loss you’re trying to avoid. Jealous thoughts are not the same as reality and no matter how much you believe in your thoughts, it won’t make your thoughts a reality for/to others. Random attacks against others because you believe what you’ve fed to your mind won’t help alleviate your insecurities nor will it assist in maintaining any type of relationship. It won’t cause others to desire to be near you and it will create the very sense of being alone that you’re trying to prevent. Jealousy is a relationship killer!

In 1972, Nena and George O’Neill wrote a book introducing a new meaning to open marriage as one in which each partner has room for personal growth and can develop outside friendships. One chapter which was 20 pages long was devoted to the proposition that an open marriage could include some forms of sexuality with other partners. Once they introduced sexuality into the open marriage concept and it entered into the cultural consciousness during the era of the Sexual Revolution, "open marriage" became a synonym for sexually non-monogamous marriage which then gained a life of its own. Tonight, we will discuss Open Marriages/Relationships with your host Minister Dupree-Alridge, co-hosts A. Michelle Grogan, Janet Heard and special co-host Cynthia Bryant.
