Affirming Your Truth

The use of affirmations, positive statements or declarations of the truth, has been touted for over a hundred years.  I first learned about them from Dr. John Pelizza in the early 1980s.  (Yes, I was very young then!)  He explained that there is a section of the brain that does not know truth from fiction; […]

Getting Ready and Calling Him In – Part 2

Consistent with the feng shui changes I described last week, I received other advice that helped me call my special someone in.  People suggested that I make it clear to the universe that I wanted and needed a partner, because a man would want to feel needed and that he had a role to fill.  […]

Getting Ready and Calling Him In – Part 1

So you’re ready to meet someone special.  You’re getting out there and giving the events you attend a fair shot.  Terrific!  Now let’s be sure that your thoughts, words, and actions apart from these conscious efforts are aligned with your intentions. Early in my journey to meet Roger, I consulted with Feng Shui expert, Sandy […]

Give It Your Best Shot

Last week I encouraged those who are looking to meet someone to try something new.  Now here’s the rest of the story: you need to really give it your best shot.  Too often I see singles missing opportunities because of their approach.  Here are some ideas for making the most of your efforts: Take an […]

Throw Away the Box

I recently heard a new twist on the expression “think outside the box.”  It was – throw away the box!  This advice might be well worth heeding for some singles, those who keep doing the same things in their attempts to meet someone new. Single people often lament that the good ones are taken or […]

Are You In a Relationship Trap?

Have you ever been in a relationship trap?  Perhaps you’re in one now.  You know the situation: you’re in a relationship someone that you know deep down is not right for you.  For some reason, though, you stay with it, despite the warning signs.  Some of the warning signs you see might be his working […]

You are Worth the Wait

Many people ask me why I wrote my book.  After all, I’m not a sex therapist or a counselor.  It was my experience dating and meeting other singles that motivated me to write.  Repeatedly I was surprised by how confused and discouraged people were – men and women alike.  One of the most common observations […]

Tricho What?

That’s trichomoniasis.  If you haven’t heard of it, don’t be surprised.  Most people haven’t, yet it’s one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) around, infecting an estimated 7 million people in the U.S. every year.  Sexually active women are the most commonly affected.  The cause is a protozoan (back to science class!), which […]

Treasure Your Body

Perhaps you’ve heard it said that your body is God’s temple, so you should treat it with respect and care for it.  I don’t disagree with this viewpoint; I just don’t find it very motivating when I need to make a change about how I treat my body.  After all, there are approximately 6,697,254,000 people […]

Sane Sex or Same Sex?

When people see my book cover or hear me say the name of the book, Worth Waiting For, Sane Sex for Singles, they often hear “same” sex rather than “sane” sex.  I like the phrase “sane sex” because it’s close to safe sex in sound and is just one level up from safe sex on […]
