Over the weekend I took part in a workshop that I thought might help me understand this thing called relationships a bit better. The training combines mindfulness, body awareness, and most importantly, what Hakomi refers to as “loving presence” when relating to another person. As much as I love working on Global Glue Project, I […]
Attempting to write about sex within a 10, 20, or even 40-year partnership is akin to me writing about politics or knitting: I can’t speak intelligently to either. The reality of my personal experience in long-term partnership doesn’t exactly fit the definition of long-term, hovering around the 3-year mark. Which is exactly why the wisdom […]
For anyone who doesn’t know this, my sister Gillian & I are the co-founders of Global Glue Project. Yes, we are in fact, siblings. Related by blood. People react to this information in a variety of ways: “Oooo… that’s so sweet! You work with your sister. I could never do it, but that’s awesome!” or […]
As our name implies, we are interested in figuring out what the glue is that holds relationships together. Just as important as the glue, is how to get through the hard stuff. This is why every Glue interview includes a section on obstacles, where we ask the hard questions about how couples find their way […]
It’s hard to imagine Nancy & Barry, clearly in love and at peace with 42 years together, getting into dramatic conflicts in their earlier years. Currently, their favorite activities are grand-parenting and quiet time together, yet Nancy recalls times when they would “Pull the car up stopping on the side of the road screaming and […]
Could relationships be improved if more couples practiced yoga together? Just last weekend I attended the Yoga Journal Conference in Colorado. At a glance I would guess that 75-85% of attendees were women. Arguably, when a woman takes the time for self-care and uses her yoga practice as a practice for self-acceptance, it will inevitably […]
On Friday, we let you know about the exciting Global Glue lecture and film series on creating and sustaining long-term relationships. We couldn’t be more excited about this event, which will bring relationship experts together to share their knowledge, wisdom, compassion, humor, and insight, as well as start a dialogue, and hopefully help you understand […]
Global Glue Launches Series of Curated Films and Talks with Relationship Experts Since launching our kickstarter campaign for 52 Glue Films (a film a week for one year), we have received amazing feedback that the films impact the viewers the way we intended: as sources of inspiration and wisdom. Last February, we began holding community screening […]
The surest path to long-term relationship is removing the need to be right. As long as you remain locked to the idea that, “my way is the right way,” and that there is no middle ground to be found, then there is no “we.” If only one person is ruling the show, then essentially there […]
Every so often we receive emails about Global Glue Project that act as the oxygen we breathe to survive. Global Glue is a passion project, one that is fueled by our belief that these stories matter and have the potential to impact the world, but until we started receiving that feedback, we didn’t actually know if […]
