We learn in the context of our relationships, and the world is a looking glass reflecting back what we need to know. Our innate desire is to have nurturing and intimate relationships, experience good friendships, and have positive interations with others. Relationships, whether in our personal lives, work, community and any setting, show us what we need to know about ourselves.

We often live our lives with detached reflection. As Stella Terill Mann state, "The daily mirror test will help us see many parts of the truth about ourselves". Thought provoking self-reflection enables us to take inventory of ourselves; and to build, revive and renew our connection with others.
Relationships are mirrors. In this episode, Dr. Jean Marie reveals empowering life lessions that can inspire us to self-reflect, heal, let go and love.
The Love In Action Practice is to reflect on your relationships. Are they adding to or subtracting from your wellbeing. Are they draining or restorative? Are they healing or and bring ease and comfort or destructive? What role are you contributing? Journal on these relationships and what they are showing you about yourself, your perception of love and worth.
Dr. Jean Marie closes with an excerpt on "Self-Belonging".
