The main focus of my work

is to provide tools and guidance to help you create a better YOU
which helps you create better relationships of all kinds.

WHAT IS THE PROCESS?

Clients call our way of working together “liberating and enlivening.” They say it’s full of delight and discovery, and encourages lightness of heart and mind.

Some folks think therapy or self-improvement is drudgery, but you’ve got to do it anyway. I think drudgery, force, effort, or pain for gain is overrated. Besides, that method is a long and winding road, and not that efficient.

There are other ways and – the good news -- they work better.

Besides, you’re not broken.

You don't need fixing.

The process with In Care of Relationships works more quickly, there’s more joy as you go, and you gain positive momentum. I’m guessing you’ll appreciate it!

Whether you’re married, single, dating, or in a new or committed relationship, it won’t take long to see what’s going on. That’s my job. From there, it’s all about helping you create positive change in the direction you want to go. That’s what we do together.

She’s Got Love Fingers

Christie Lenee can play a guitar. She’s the 2017 International Finger Style Guitar Champion of the Year. In September of last year in London, she also won Acoustic Guitarist of the Year.

But lucky for us, she’s not just a champion guitar player. Christie Lenee is also quite the composer.

A friend of hers, Michael Pukac, requested that she write a song, one he described as “the story of love.” She scribbled notes and went to work.

Through Christie’s ability to imagine, his desire became music. Now she plays this song for the world with her love fingers. Lucky you, lucky me, lucky us.

Take very good care of yourself this week. Why not sing a little…

Love,

Terri

Rise Up by Andra Day

What a great set of words for these oncoming days.

Rise Up

Andra Day

You’re broken down and tired
Of living life on a merry go round
And you can’t find the fighter
But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out
And move mountains
We gonna walk it out
And move mountains

And I’ll rise up
I’ll rise like the day
I’ll rise up
I’ll rise unafraid
I’ll rise up
And I’ll do it a thousand times again
And I’ll rise up
High like the waves
I’ll rise up
In spite of the ache
I’ll rise up
And I’ll do it a thousand times again

For you
For you
For you
For you

When the silence isn’t quiet
And it feels like it’s getting hard to breathe
And I know you feel like dying
But I promise we’ll take the world to its feet
And move mountains
Bring it to its feet
And move mountains

And I’ll rise up
I’ll rise like the day
I’ll rise up
I’ll rise unafraid
I’ll rise up
And I’ll do it a thousand times again

For you
For you
For you
For you

All we need, all we need is hope
And for that we have each other
And for that we have each other
And we will rise
We will rise
We’ll rise, oh, oh
We’ll rise

I’ll rise up
Rise like the day
I’ll rise up
In spite of the ache
I will rise a thousand times again
And we’ll rise up
High like the waves
We’ll rise up
In spite of the ache
We’ll rise up
And we’ll do it a thousand times again

For you
For you
For you
For you

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Rippling Abs, Anyone?

During this strange time in history, I noticed y’all were tackling all sorts of interesting projects. I decided I needed one, too—something positive to remember the pandemic of 2020 by.

I decided to pay attention to something I had abandoned…

Nope, I’m not cleaning my garage. I am not organizing one single thing. I’m not planting a garden or cleaning up my yard.

Instead, I decided to take care of myself better. This, folks, has made all the difference for me.

With relatively little time and effort on my part, I feel so much better than I did a month ago.

On March 30, I got on the exercise bike and the yoga mat for the first time in a long time, and did 30 minutes each. I liked it so much that I decided to do it every day. But I fell short of that, and changed my commitment to every other day, which felt more manageable, reasonable, and doable.

I also get off the bike after every song, take a couple of sips of water, shake out my legs and arms for a few seconds, and get back on. This makes the bike project a reasonable proposition, too.

Daily walks of any length—by myself, or with my little guy, Jackson—are a fresh air bonus.

My recumbent exercise bike has pulleys to work my upper body while I pedal, which gets my heart rate up fast, and also helps my whole-body strength. It feels good to get up from writing, or doing a consulting session with a client, to do something physically challenging while listening to good music.

After only a month, I feel a sheet of muscles on the front of me I haven’t felt for a very, very long time. Goodness gracious. Who knew they were there. I’ll be posting rippling ab photos soon, I’m sure.

I have no idea what the scales have to say about my bike/yoga project—I don’t care. Paying attention to scales tends to send me sideways, and therefore, I’m ignoring them completely.

But—I LOVE the way I feel! Hang in there, everyone.
