Emotional Intelligence and Love

Healthy relationships start with knowing how to ignite your own spark and connect with the best in yourself so you can see and appreciate the best in others. We often seek relationship before committing to discovering who we are on our own terms. In the best relationships we learn to honor and love the space between us as much as we love who we are when we are together.
