My name is Rinad Bsharat and I should be dead by now. In March 2005, I was told I had three months to live. Yet it is 2021, and I am still here. Faced with a cancer diagnosis at twenty-three, Rinad Bsharat is sure it will be a footnote in her life's journey. As a young twenty-something with high ambitions, she is invincible. Convinced the disease will be a temporary distraction, she follows her dreams and starts law school as scheduled. The disease, however, has other plans. Nicknamed "Bisseh" or "cat" as a child by her father, Rinad has expended her nine lives in a battle against Hodgkin's Lymphoma after doctors claimed six months of chemotherapy would cure this disease. Her journey has lasted eighteen years so far, and traversed nine different treatment protocols-each one threatening her life in a different way. Throughout her treatments, Rinad struggles with her identity and her faith as she searches to find love and the purpose of her life. With each diagnosis and subsequent remission, Rinad learns to live each of Bisseh's nine lives with, and in spite of, the disease. With every relapse, she attempts to live the chic dating life of a successful young attorney-albeit sometimes in very outrageous wigs. She tries various supposed "cures," from traditional Western medicine to New Age methods in rural Mexico. During these treatment protocols, she maintains her career as a successful attorney working in the federal government, and then she goes on to build a second career in real estate. Rinad is told many times to prepare for death, but each time she beats the odds. She allows herself to ask-and explore-many difficult questions that challenge her beliefs in herself and her faith. With each remission, she is reborn stronger and comes to see this realization as a different type of cure than she initially sought, finding peace in the healing of her heart from a sense of purpose and everlasting love.

This workbook is a supplement to the book, The Journey from "I-TO-WE". It encompasses the 23-step, comprehensive "Create an Emotionally Intelligent Relationship" program developed to help individuals and couples achieve relationship success at home, at work and within themselves. I highly recommend that both you and your partner have your own personal copy of the workbook. I also advise reading each corresponding chapter in the book twice before you begin the workbook exercises. The book offers in-depth conceptual descriptions of the ideas and principles behind the "Create an Emotionally Intelligent Relationship" program along with vignettes that detail a story of a fictional couple composed from people I have coached over the years. The combined elements convey each concept, skill and technique. A comprehensive program is contained within the book and workbook. The exercises will challenge you to face your fears and stretch beyond your comfort zone. You will examine many aspects of yourself, your partner, and your relationship in a way you have never done before. You will be asked to be vulnerable, empathetic, courageous, and honest, and to accept absolute personal responsibility for your words, actions, and behaviors. Working together and valuing this program is critical. You cannot succeed if you agree to participate in this journey without wholeheartedly being committed. If you take shortcuts or hold back, you will cheat your partner, your relationship and yourself. The more you put in, the more you will gain. Aim to give 101% of yourself and enjoy the full benefit of the program. Remember, it takes two to "Create an Emotionally Intelligent Relationship."

The best medicine may not always be found at a pharmacy or in a doctor’s office. Sometimes it comes in the form of a four-legged friend. Three well-known leaders in their fields—award-winning dog photographer Jesse Freidin, adolescent HIV+ specialist Dr. Robert Garofalo, and LGBTQ advocate and journalist Zach Stafford—offer a refreshing, beautiful, and unique portrait of HIV infused with a deep message of hope. Each extraordinary profile shows the power of the incredible bonds between humans and their canine companions, whether that means combating loneliness and stigma, discovering the importance of unconditional love, overcoming addiction, or simply having a best friend in a time of need. When Dogs Heal shares the stories of a diverse set of people who are thriving and celebrating life thanks to the compassion and unconditional love of their dogs. A portion of the proceeds from this book benefits Fred Says, an organization dedicated to financially supporting HIV+ teen health care.

One of the world’s leading experts on infidelity provides a step-by-step guide through the process of infidelity—from suspicion and revelation to healing, and provides profound, practical guidance to prevent infidelity and, if it happens, recover and heal from it. You’re right to be cautious when you hear these words: “I’m telling you, we’re just friends.” Good people in good marriages are having affairs. The workplace and the Internet have become fertile breeding grounds for “friendships” that can slowly and insidiously turn into love affairs. Yet you can protect your relationship from emotional or sexual betrayal by recognizing the red flags that mark the stages of slipping into an improper, dangerous intimacy that can threaten your marriage.
