He slips his arms around my waist and nuzzles my neck from behind. The timber of his voice and  scratchiness of his unshaven face send a sensation cascading through my body.

Much like learning a new language, I'm deciphering the nuances and unspoken words [...]

"You'll always be looking for something better" he said.  "What you want is unobtainable" he said.  These statements came in a heated moment shortly after I softly let him know I didn't think we were going to work.  These words from a man I valued, hurt. They stung because I knew I hurt him. They hit [...]

Because of your blog, I know that it is possible for me to have the love that I want one day and that I don’t have to be alone.  — Indepthwoman  on space2live

This is one of the best… Read more

me understand the how an introvert functions. She helped explain to me
that I am introspective extrovert, and this gave something to identify
with and allowed me t… Read more

I met Brenda and took the MBTI… I had a fairly good understanding of these types before the meeting but was impressed by the depth of knowledge that Brenda shared with me. She clearly has a passion for this work and a gift in imparting the information. There have been doors opened for me because of our talks… — Alan Hintermeister
