Synopsis
Love is a little word that we make big, and real love is important to everyone. Each stage of our development changes our definition of it. It is our constantly changing barometer about where we are at any moment of our lives. It is a lifelong quest for all of us, male and female, young and old. A few simple actions and strategies can help find real love that grows over time. This book offers insights that might explain a past heartache and make a good relationship better. Little things count. They add up to a simple, clear message: “I not only love you, but I also want to care for you and your needs on a daily basis.” This is what heads toward the Love Boat rather than the Titanic. If I have learned anything from failed relationships, a doctorate in psychology and thousands of hours doing my own brand of therapy, it is the message I gave my son, Eric, when he turned 18: “Be open, be honest, be loving, be free and let no person transgress with impunity.” We each have our own path, none the same. However, some tools, tactics, and principles can make each of our lives more effective and fun. In this book you will find cartoons of my little friends I call "Reals". Characters that leaked out of my unconscious. The “Real” evolved over time as I thought about life situations and ways to sort them out. He wears a cowboy hat, like mine, and his partner has long hair, like my wife. These 52 cartoons were not hard to draw. But they took me a lifetime to figure out.
