I’d like to introduce myself. I am Kate Woods, the current Relationships Editor for BellaOnline.com. You can get acquainted with me by clicking on my name and reading my bio on the Relationships page.

Below are a few of the articles I’ve posted on the Relationships site:

My Mother, My Daughter, Myself - Family Ties
It always amazes me that when I was younger, I was absolutely sure that I was completely different than my Mother in all ways. But now that I'm a little bit older and a little bit wiser I know that is simply not true. So often now when I laugh I sound like my Mother, when I speak I hear her ideas emanating from my mouth and when I give my daughter advice there are many times I tell her the same things that my Mother told me. Equally interesting is that fact that when my daughter was younger, I used to look at her and listen to her and think that she was nothing like me and that I wished she was at least a little like me.

Relationships of Life
Every time we interact with a person, place, or thing we are experiencing a relationship. We have relationships with people, money, food, holidays, flowers, feelings, emotions, computers, pets, friends, relatives, spouses, children, employers, religion, significant others, society, politics, neighbors, online communities such as MySpace, Facebook, Online Dating Sites and forums, medical professionals, telemarketers, etc., etc. … and depending on what you believe, perhaps even with Angels, Demons and God. Indeed, relationships are pieces of the jigsaw puzzle we refer to as our life…

I can’t imagine ever running out of ideas for articles on the many Relationships of Life so I believe that I’ll have plenty to talk to you about in my future articles. I hope you’ll visit the Bellaonline.com Relationships site often and that you find the articles both informational and interesting.
