Letting Go Of Categories

Many individuals in our culture approach relationships with an invisible handicap:

THEIR CATEGORIES

Do you?

In today's culture, the possibilities for creating relationships that will suit your needs and fulfill your desires are practically endless. Yet...

Many people still recognize only two relationship categories: friendship, and romantic partnership.

:(

Why the frown?

Because, wonderful as friendship and mature romance can be, even the most open-minded among us may, sometimes, miss other relationship possibilities that don't fit neatly into one of those categories.

Think about it:

What cateogires do you hold in your mind - and how might your relationship life look different - if you were to let go of those categories?

And, if you were to let go of those categories, how might this affect your ability to create more nurturing, more inspiring relationships in your life, right now?

In our next issue of Relationship Sense: New relationship concepts to consider.
