How to Meet Someone Wonderful?
Tuesday, 03 May 2011 19:30
When I hear people expressing their sadness about how they don't have a life partner...I hear what's missing ... I understand, and reassure them that they are not alone. More importantly, however, I suggest that they look at stepping up the venues for meeting someone.Example: I have a 43-year-old client; never married; only one serious relationship in her life; a few Internet dates. This woman is BEAUTIFUL but couldn't either attract (?) a date or find someone who even remotely interested her. I told her to tell EVERYONE she came in contact with that she would like to meet someone wonderful.
At first she fought it ... She thought she should just be able to meet someone like "normal" people do; that it should happen "naturally"; that she'd meet someone when it was "meant to be"; and that telling others was embarrassing! She also said she HAD told everyone ... and I know she believed that when she said it. But I never buy into that. Until you've met THE ONE... you can NEVER tell enough people you want to meet someone special.
Is the Divorce Rate Falling?
Monday, 25 April 2011 00:00
In my book, “Thriving After Divorce,” I tell a story, once told to me, of a man and woman in their nineties who went before a judge at the local courthouse to get their final divorce decree. The judge, peering over the bench, couldn’t believe it when he saw them. Groping for words, he paused, scratched his head and said, “Tell me… why would two people your age, who have been together for as long as you have, get a divorce?” “Well…” the man said, “we had to wait for all the kids to die. We didn’t wanna upset ‘em.”Divorce, at any age, is a bracing decision. There are some recent statistics out, however, that point to a shift in our society. The University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School published a longitudinal research study in 2010 that states the divorce rate is falling in certain parts of the population: college graduates who marry when they are over the age of 26.
Of the college-educated couples in the 1980s that were over 26 when they married, 82% of them are still together. For those who waited until they were over 35 to marry, the divorce rate drops significantly further.
Of those college grads that married before they were 26, only 65% of them are still wed.
But the more disheartening part to this study, however, found that the less educated, lower income couples have a rising divorce rate. Between the two extremes of the college-educated vs. non-college-educated groups, the national divorce rate then balances out to remain …at almost 50%.
What exactly has brought this shift in this part of our society?

Would you like to meet a person of great quality? Do you dream of finding someone who is simply…incredible? Would you like to be with someone you admire, respect, and feel a great deal of chemistry with? If you don’t think it can happen for you, you are among the many who believe:* “All the good ones are gone.”
* If I did meet someone spectacular, they wouldn’t want me.
* I could never get (and I don’t really deserve) someone sensational.
If you identified with any of the above statements, you belong to a large percentage of the population. My email Inbox is stuffed with letters from people all over the world who feel this way. The truth is, however, if you set out on a personal journey to deepen your awareness, grow yourself, and lighten your heart, many of the limiting beliefs that keep you from your ideal mate would vanish. Anything becomes possible when you consider doing the following:

Have you ever gone through a breakup? Do you wish you had handled things differently? Whether you were the person leaving the relationship, or the one being left, rarely does anyone feel they were being their best self when the split happened. It can get messy, feelings can get hurt, and most people put the breakup crisis on the memory shelf along with “some of the worst experiences that have ever happened to me.”It is possible that at this time in history, with more information and deeper awareness than ever before, people have begun to realize their potential for having better relationships. Along with this insight comes the opportunity of being able to LEAVE someone… with more wisdom, care and dignity than in the past. What is the best way to handle saying goodbye? Start with:
Why Would Jesse Cheat On Sandra?
Monday, 04 April 2011 00:00
Tabloid relationships are intriguing studies of how people who have absolutely every material possession they could want…are no happier than the rest of the population. And when they break up, because their actions and lives are so public, we have a chance to watch and surmise what went wrong. Recently, I received this note from a reader:“What would make Jesse James leave a class act like Sandra Bullock for Kat Von D, or Prince Charles leave Diana for Camilla? I see this all the time. What’s going on here? I’m writing to you because some of us with inquiring minds really want to know. I purposefully left out Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt. I can’t put my finger on it but I think she has some issues. I’m also on the fence about Halle. But you get the idea. I would think that if a woman was loving, loyal, supportive, honest, intelligent, and sexy, then the man would be ecstatic. Is this not the case?”
