- 5/20/2011Relationship is progress that is strong and enduring. This strength comes from love. This strength comes from knowing someone that you show love through compassion and help them through times of homelessness, trials, and tribulations. This person is finding his relationship with other spiritual beings that speak words of wisdom and inspire us to live life to the fullest and give him some friendship and care. Even if there is carelessness there is God and this spiritual people to help virtually. This brings strength and healing power. This is the only real relationship even in times when some things seem bleak. This motivates and stirs consciousness that is good. God is good, God is great!

- 5/20/2011That was really a “quality” lecture. I love the ideas of “companioning” with like qualities and those spiritual. Also, “to thine own self be true”. Thanks for the well delivered ideas.

- 5/20/2011The love and conviction shared in your lecture brought me to tears. I’ve recently divorced from a marriage that spanned 28 years with 4 wonderful children and associated grandchildren. The facebook age is upon us and being mid-age (if there is such a stage) confronts with an entirely new world, it is good to know the bedrock of my innate God like qualities can not be overshadowed or overlooked in this glamour and glitzy oriented world of today. Thank you.

- 5/20/2011Robin–I, too, was so touched by your lecture. I loved the naturalness of your delivery, including your blue-jean-clad appearance :) . For me, this symbolized that the “special” truths you were sharing, were meant to be part of “everyday” life.
LIke Wes, #12, I am hearing your message in the wake of the dissolution of my marriage. My husband chose to end things after 3 children and more than 30 years of marriage, and he just married someone else a couple weeks ago. It has seemed nearly impossible, at times, to have any healthy sense of myself, separate from this sense of failure and abandonment.
Your lecture has given me fresh resolve to keep on going directly to God, the God who is Love, and listen for God’s approval, and to do this consistently. Thank you again for the deep tenderness in your message.
Gordon from Madison, WI
- 10/7/2011Great talk! Really loved the idea Robin shared about looking for a sense of "approval" in relationships. And loved the parallel she drew from the Bible, how the very first thing that happened with Jesus, BEFORE his ministry, BEFORE he did any miracles, BEFORE he proved himself in any way, was that he was given approval. "This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased." Great to know that we have that same sense of approval, and it comes before we do anything! We don't have to go out and earn it or prove ourselves to others first.
