@tombilyeu and I spent so many years pouring ourselves into our businesses that we didn’t take time for each other. And once we acknowledged that it was slowly starting to damage our relationship, we realized, while we could do it for a while, on a long enough timeline, it’s just not sustainable. Because the truth is, when you have goals and big dreams, you will NEVER be done! You will never have “the time”. There will never be “a perfect moment”. There is always going to be something! And isn't that a GOOD thing I mean I frikin love what I do! And so it finally dawned on me... I don’t WANT to cross a finish line. I don’t WANT to be done. So waiting actually made no sense! So, we decided we had to be deliberate in making space and finding the time to be together.
.
And so even though these moments may not come too often, we vowed we would make the time, and cherish every damn second!
.
Tag someone in your life to let them know you cherish every second with them too!!
Most individuals don’t listen with the intent to understand; they merely listen with the intent to reply. Try and listen to learn what is being said so you can reply properly

The key to success in any relationship is exceptional communication, but a majority of us are not taught the art of really listening to another person. The recommendation to listen to understand instead of to reply is extremely essential in relationships with coworkers, partners, parents, and anyone else in your life
.

Instead of thinking about what you want to say while the other person is talking, really listen to them. It’s called “active listening”, and there are a variety of components:
.
.
.
Pay attention: When someone is talking to you, look at them. Notice their eye contact and body language. Take in their tone of voice as well as what they are actually saying to you
.
.
.
Really listen: Listen with your body: Turn toward the person who is talking, lean in, and make them feel listened to because you really are listening. Make eye contact, smile, nod, and make leading noises when appropriate
.
.
.
Don’t interrupt: The best way to make someone really feel like they are not being heard is to interrupt or talk on top of them. Try to listen fully and wait until they are done to ask questions or add your thoughts
.
.
.
Repeat what they said. Don’t just say what you were planning to say. Rather, show that you have heard what they said by repeating back to them a brief summary of what you heard when appropriate prior to adding your own opinions
.
.
.
Respond to what they said. Be honest and respectful in your responses, and always remember to talk — and listen — in the ways that you would want to be talked or listened to
Thanks for sticking by me not just when it’s easy but when it’s been hard too. Thanks for being the one that shows up, that cares, that stays. Thanks for making me laugh when life feels heavy, for picking up the phone on the first ring, for believing in me when I don’t believe in myself. Thanks for being there. No matter the distance, time zone, or stage of life, we will always be on the same team. We will always balance each other out. We will always stick together. Because together we are one!

I want someone who doesn’t belong in this generation. Someone who values connections over possessions and understands the art of communication. I want someone who talks with honesty, acts with loyalty, and lives for love. Is that too much to ask for? .
