Once a reader mentioned that she'd love some ideas for what to talk about or how to connect with her partner while on a date.

I think it's totally a worthwhile topic to discuss because it's easy to have all the conversations dominated by topics related to kids, work drama, or the house falling apart...or perhaps it's easy to get sucked onto your phones during a date. [That never happens, right? ;)] I mean, life can begin to feel pretty lifeless when we don't connect; when we go about our days and weeks on end without our soul making it's way to the surface. I think it can be easy to even forget what that feels like.

So, how about we all strip away the surface stuff and see what happens. I wrote out some ideas for practicing some deep CONNECTION and VULNERABILITY. I mean, you could potentially even have this list handy on your phone for some instant ideas if the conversation is feeling flat. I would totally geek out and do that. :) Because there is nothing better than feeling connected to each other.
