The relationship dance

The relationship dance metaphor describes how to enjoy and flourish in life. For me, savoring moments with the people in my life is the very essence of living well. In my relationships, I strive to reframe the words, “win,” “lose,” “right,” or “wrong” with “growing in deeper understanding” by “practicing empathy.” I believe that deepening relationships requires actively listening with compassionate curiosity. Then we must enthusiastically value and validate what we learn about each other. For me, this describes a healthy relationship between two people: the process of directly and gently relating to one another as described above.
