““Until we have seen someone’s darkness, we don’t really know who they are. Until we have forgiven someone’s darkness, we don’t really know what love is.” Marianne Williamson”

“Building an intimate relationship with yourself is the foundation for cultivating deep intimacy with a lover. Because the deepest intimacy with another actually begins inside our own hearts. By turning inwards and listening to our hearts, feelings, and intuition, we develop the courage to express and be more vulnerable in life. We begin to forge an inner connection that transforms how others relate to us–see and experience us. ‘To love and be loved’ means that first you have to get into right relationship with yourself.”
