Craig, the man I've been happily married to since 1994.  Isn't he handsome?

Hello, and welcome!              

When I was thinking about what I would most want to share with you, what occurred to me was that I wanted you to know what I am passionate about, and what guides me in the work I do.

After many years of my own relationship lessons (one failed marriage, numerous other relationships (long- and short-term), some good, most decidedly less good - all powerful teachers - and finally in the marriage of my dreams), I have arrived at some important understandings.  Here is a partial list:

h Everyone is always doing the very best they are capable of, in the moment - even if it is not really their best;
h Whatever you observe in another (whether it pleases you or not) is simply a reflection of some aspect of you;
h We cannot give what we do not have (love, acceptance, trust, etc.);
h We cannot receive what we do not already have (same as above);
h Empathy is critical to the success of a relationship;
h In the absence of hard facts, always assume the best intention;
h No matter what is going on outside of you, what you are really working on is yourself;
h If you cannot forgive, you will not be successful in a relationship;
h Intimate relationships are our most powerful teachers for learning about being our highest and best selves as women;
h To love and trust is our natural birthright, and everyone has the ability to experience both.

I have a huge amount of compassion for people's humanity, and what happens as everyone strives to be happy.  For many, that is a hard road to travel, because it stirs up all the "I don't really deserve it" feelings.  For many others, it is simply so foreign to the lifestyle and choices they've made, their path is not clear.  I honor the courage it takes to go after your heart's desires.

Here is what you can count on from me, whether you work with me individually, in a group, read one of my books, or participate in a seminar or class:

· Compassion and acceptance
· Encouragement
· Humor
· Dedication to your success
· Honesty
· An in-depth understanding of men
· Knowledge of what works in relationship

In this time we live in, it can be a challenge to develop our deepest, truest selves; the part of us that is loving, intuitive, and as I call it, "undefended".  With the right encouragement, support and partnership, that way of "BE"ing is possible, and is, in my opinion (and personal experience) the only way we can manifest the right relationship - and life - for us.

It would be my honor to be of assistance on your path...wherever on that path you may now be. 

By the way, I always welcome feedback and suggestions, so if you have any comments, please email me: karen@theheartmatters.com.  Also, things get added and changed all the time, so please "drop by" on a regular basis.

Wishing you the relationship of your dreams,

Karen Jones
