Your 5 Biggest Challenges
to Finding Love

You are not putting yourself out there. Many of you tried online dating for a few months, went to a few meet-ups or went out on a few dates. It did not go the way hoped or you had a "bad experience" so you gave up or became really discouraged. You also don't have a plan- a system for meeting Mr. Right.

The men you liked weren't interested in you. When you meet someone you like it is easy to become nervous. You either shut down and act disinterested or you try too hard and become the pursuer. And you take it personally when someone you are interested in does not reciprocate your feelings.

Treat Yourself on Valentine's Day

Lately I have been paying attention to how I treat myself.  And I mean ALL the definitions of the word "treat".
 
If I want to reward myself for a job well done, or comfort myself after a challenging day, how do I treat myself?
 
Well in the past, I may have indulged in a bottle of wine or a rich desert. I may have gone out to dinner and eaten too much of whatever food I felt like at the time, regardless of how that felt in my body.

On Valentine's maybe I would consider treating myself to a box of candy as a Valentine's Day reward.

What I realized is some of the ways I "treat myself" was not really a "treat" at all!

Pamela and Bear

I lost my beloved dog Blanca after a grueling 9 month battle with cancer. After she passed my heart was truly broken.  After 12 months of grieving, I thought maybe it's time to get another dog, so I went to the pound on my lunch hour just to "look".
