3 Tips from Life Coach Jackie Black

Friends, I've been at a loss. What to say about that dastard R? With his wandering eye and unsupportive ways.

But today in my inbox, it's a new issue of Coaching Compass with these tips on love from Jackie Black. (Not to be confused with actor Jack Black.)

Here are 3 Simple and Loving Behaviors to remember and use:

  1. Listen with your heart.
  2. Tell your partner that he or she matters to you and that his or her feelings are important to you.
  3. Ask if there is anything you can do or say right now that would be helpful.

Believe that your presence and your caring go a long way to soothe hurt and upset hearts.

Take a deep breath. Remind yourself to stay in the moment with the feeling(s). Trust that the 3 Simple and Loving Behaviors are enough!


Did you get that, R? Are you paying attention? Smarten up!

Say Observant Reader, you might be on to something here. Perhaps this is why Ms Black is a life coach and not a math coach. Let's face it, math pays better than life.

You know, Lucy, I hate these "taggings", but I like you, and you've at least tagged me with something I don't mind answering.

8 things about what my ideal partner should be like:

1. She should be good with money.

2. No dietary restrictions.

3. Enjoys spicy food.

4. No astrology crap.

5. Not allergic to kitties.

6. Enjoys whistling. (at least listening to it.)

7. Appreciates a good date square.

8. Can put up with my weird friends.
