January 8, 2008Reader success story: A healing dialogue

Filed under: Success Story by merylrunion |

My boyfriend and I had an argument. We took a few days off before we met to discuss the issues. I wrote him a poem about wanting to talk with an open mind that listened to the guidance of an open heart.

I had pinpointed the four issues I wanted to address and told him I wanted to be able to work through those issues with him because the relationship was so important to me.

It was great. he loved my poem, And because I was trying to fix the problem and not just fix blame, helped us focus on solutions. It was fabulous. No poison phrases, just solutions.
