We have all dated someone or even been in a relationship with the person who has plenty of dirt to talk about his or her ex? How does it make you feel when you encounter someone like that? Sometimes this can feel icky and unattractive. Other times, when you are still holding on to some resentments towards your ex, this can serve you as common ground to connect with this new person.

Dating someone who is clearly still resentful towards his or her ex is a sure way to build your next dysfunctional relationship. It is understandable to feel the connection with someone who is going through the same challenges or feels similar disappointments as you. Misery, as they say, loves company. The unfortunate part of this truth is that we start developing new bad habits of staying miserable just so we can keep this company. Sometimes we are drawn to people who’s hearts aren’t fully mended yet because we want to be the one to mend it for them. Perhaps we hope that this person can in turn fill in the emptiness we feel deep in our heart. Or maybe we just want to feel good about ourselves for “rescuing” someone, hoping to become the hero in their eyes. So we try and try very hard to be the best companion for them, to be loving and giving, desperately wanting to convince this person that we are so much better than their ex. Only to get hurt, disappointed and feel rejected in the end. Not so much because our “kind” efforts were turned down, but because we failed to honor ourselves in the process.

As a dating expert I strongly recommend anyone who still feels bitter about their past relationship not to date until they take the time and the effort to clear this baggage. And if you are really ready and available to be out there on the dating scene and you come across someone who is still stuck in the past, do yourself a favor and let this person go. Because most likely you have just encountered someone who is emotionally unavailable. If his trust was seriously violated because his ex girlfriend or wife was cheating on him, there is nothing you can do to repair his trust. Even if you are faithful and honest. He has to learn how to trust again first before he is capable of trusting you or anyone he meets in the future.

Ironically, people who have trust issues are typically attracted to the ones they find difficult to trust. Maybe because they are so invested in the idea that not trusting anyone is the safest thing to do. Our hearts secretly crave for challenges. Yet, the biggest challenge we sometimes tend to avoid is to look within.

Bookmarks are easy to make from materials found around the house. These are not only more creative than the store bought variety, but are infinitely more interesting. What’s more, you will be saving landfills – ever so slightly – from becoming mountains of trash.

What is easier than making bookmarks? What is faster and what is so versatile? Lest we begin to think these little place holders are inconsequential and are not worth the time it takes, consider this: How many times have you been reading something quite interesting, the phone rings and you needed a place holder? Finding none already in the book, you grabbed a tissue out of a nearby box and closed the book on it.

How much better would it have been had you transferred the already there bookmark to the correct page? My books, you say, don’t have their own bookmarks. Of course they don’t but they should. Here is an easy solution, and I think, a better solution to the problem; even better than a traditional bookmark. Place a note card in the book and write down ideas as you read; word clues will be enough to refresh your memory.

Now that we know that we need bookmarks how do we make them? That is a mind boggling question since there are so many easy creative ways. You can make them out of a stiff piece of thin paper. You don’t want the paper too thick it could mar the book by permanently creating a slight bulging area between pages; you want the length to be shorter than the page but long enough not to get lost.

What effect do you expect from your bookmark? Are you out to create bookmarks to advertise your book sales online; are you looking to find ideas for crafts for children; for simple gifts where you will be emphasizing some seasonal holiday or event; or are strictly utilitarian in your approach? Whatever decision you decide, making bookmarks is simple and easy. However you can complicate the procedure and make them works of art if that is your decision.

Suggestions:

If you have children allow them to direct the effort. They will be more interested in creating bookmarks if their own suggestions are taken into consideration. Or, if they are waiting for your decisions you could cut the thin cardboard into appropriate size, have them paint, draw or paste designs. For a decorative touch punch a hole at the top and add a ribbon.

Recycled trash:

Use cards, Christmas, birthday, mother’s day, whatever to make into bookmarks. These will be short or long depending on the size of the card. Both the sides of a
