Love in America

As we press through this recession accompanied by business failures, home foreclosures, stock market fluctuations, and worldwide crises happening on a daily basis, I am reminded of the stories my parents told of the Great Depression. They both grew up in Oklahoma during the 30s when the rains stopped and the wind blew the crops away in a blanket of dust so thick, they fled to California to survive. At 19 and 16 years old, they worked in the fish canneries in Long Beach for a summer and then caught a ride to the San Joaquin Valley where they started out picking cotton.My Dad talked his way into being hired for an all night cow-milking job at a large dairy farm and then bartended during the day. From there he taught himself to auctioneer by listening to the chant at the local cattle auctions. He begged a stockyard owner to let him work for no pay on his days off so he could learn the business. It was then that he made the long slow climb to owning one of the largest stockyards in the U.S. What does love have to do with it? Everything.

Have you ever had the unsettling feeling that no matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, sooner or later, the person you count on the most…will leave? I know from personal experience that as soon as a great partner walks through the door, within a few years, this person will become so happy, so knowledgeable… and so in love with someone else…they’re leaving me.It’s important to stop here and note: I’m not talking about my husband. I am, however, talking about my assistants. When I hire them, they are single, struggling, and have usually come through a recent divorce. One or two years later, they’re engaged to the love of their life and resigning to take a new job that pays twice as much as I can. Naturally, I’m thrilled for them. Who doesn’t want their best-buddy-almost-family member to have everything they deserve?

It appears that almost everyone has some dating tips to give you when you’re single. From your family members and friends, to Internet relationship websites, you can get a truckload of really bad advice on how to find a date or a mate. Someone sent me a list of tips the other day to look at. “Are these good ideas?” the person asked.After reading them—and doing a few deep-breathing exercises to normalize my blood pressure— it seemed like a good idea to spend a little time considering what some of them meant.
