There’s a lot of stuff to consider! I wondered, when I laid this blog’s hierarchy out, and included body, heart, mind, spirit as separate categories, whether it wouldn’t be appropriate to unite heart and spirit. But the two are separate.
The heart of each person functions fully, regardless of the ability of the spirit to be full and healthy. To put this another way, you don’t have to be a good person to really love someone, you just have to be human.
As Mick Jagger put it in Jigsaw Puzzle “The gangster, he looks frightening, with his Luger in his hand, but when he comes home to his children, he’s a family man.”
So people can be fully present and fully feeling, without being fully spiritual. Thus, the dividing line between the categories of heart and spirit.
My keyword research says that matters such as loneliness, how to write a good dating profile are huge draws. There is also a place for writing about our families, and how to get along. These are the matters that fall under the category “heart.”

A few months back I reflected on this question: is being smart an advantage for dating? Rob Henderson has said that it is: I’m basically smart, aren’t you? You’re reading for fun, that makes me think that you’re above average in intelligence. Less intelligent people are watching videos. But is it possible: Being smart an

I have to admit I am incompletely satisfied with my last post on the topic on what women want in a man. Long, discursive, and ultimately unsatisfying to me, I wondered if I had skirted the issue. Maybe what women want is not the issue. Maybe one needs to look at what women expect or

Last week I admitted I was struggling with Match.com search. I turned off the email notifications and almost slid into despair. But … whenever it’s darkest, there is seen a light at the end of the tunnel. Cynics, of course, say the light at the end of the tunnel is a train coming the other

I started the week with the free edition of Elite Singles but once I found out how much it costs to “go premium” and actually get to see people’s pictures and communicate with them, I decided to try Match.com. Now I am learning the Match.com search tools. It’s not easy. (Last week I wrote about
