Lesbian Relationships: 3 Tips for Mindful Dating
Recently I listened to a lovely talk about meditation, about paying attention to the present moment, practicing loving compassion, and letting go of thoughts that carry you away from your breath, or mantra, or wherever you focus when you meditate. This makes so much sense. Why is it so hard to practice these guidelines in […]
Lesbian Dating: 5 Great Ways to Get ‘With-It’
