Guest Caller
John from Sherman Oaks has had sleepless nights because of his relationship with his daughters. They don't think he's supportive of his 17 year old granddaughter being bisexual. They've cut off all communication and excluded him from family functions. What hurts the most is that nobody called or came to see him when he recently had heart surgery. He's so angry he doesn't ever want to see or talk to them again.
Write In Question
Heidi from San Mateo asks: "I recently met a guy I’m totally attracted to. We talk on the phone every day and have deep personal conversations about everything. He’s funny and smart and we hang out together. He says he likes to start out as friends first before he becomes involved physically but it’s been six months and still hasn’t made a move. Do you think there’s a chance he’ll change his mind?"

Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light. (Brene Brown)
Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know. (Pema Chodron)
The most difficult times for many of us are the ones we give ourselves. (Pema Chodron)
