My Love Book

Over the last several years, life has been rather challenging and I'll honestly say that not every day is great, but I am learning to cope. It's a slow process and if you've been reading my blog, you're getting a glimpse into some of what I've had to deal with, both with physical pains and emotional ones, as well as all the different things I'm doing with trying to heal.

I think for many of us, we get those moments where we feel really useless, maybe not as a person, but due to the fact that we cannot be the ball of energy that we used to be. Dishes don't get done, laundry doesn't get put away, and trying to have a job never mind a thriving career seems futile because we just never know how we are feeling from day-to-day.  There are moments when I feel like I am contributing nothing to my relationship and then I give my head a good shake, pop open this book, and realize that despite my issues, I'm awesome, just like you are incredible in your own way too!

This Love Book that Bill created to celebrate our 9 year anniversary back in September, reaffirms not only how much he loves and appreciates me, but that we complement each other wonderfully.  A lot of the pages are personal and I tell you that tears well up in my eyes every time I read it!

Here it is, enjoy!

First Date Advice

~ Patti Stanger, Millionaire Matchmaker

Dating is tough especially as you get older and realize that you may not be the catch you were in your youth! I’ve read a lot of dating books over time and some advice has been really helpful in general and in my personal life, while other tips have gone in one ear and out the other. 

There’s no magical formula to making sure you don’t get your heart broken, but what I’ve learned is that the idea of dating doesn’t have to be as nail-biting as one may think. It can actually be a lot of fun, even if there is no chance for a second encounter, you just have to be in the right mind-set. So I’ve created some guidelines that I feel are essential for a good dating experience and can be beneficial for anyone, at any stage of life.

Rule Number 1
Wear some sexy underwear.  If there’s some sparks, you might get a chance to show them off later. I tell you, even if there is no attraction to your date whatsoever, you’ll still feel good and smiling on the inside!

Rule Number 2
When out on a date, make sure you smell good! If the person you are sitting across or next to smells like week old socks or an ashtray, this is a turn off. I know I'm out of there before the waiter can say "May I take your order?|

Rule Number 3
If you’re going to be late, CALL! The worst thing you can do is show up late without a valid excuse. It’s a terrible first impression. 

Rule Number 4

Be your authentic self. No one likes an imposter and eventually you'll be found out.  

Rule Number 5
Don't play games. If you hit it off, you will be seeing each other again relatively quickly. There is no reason why you wouldn’t. . I don’t care how busy your schedules are, if you want to see someone again, you’ll find a way, even if that means a 5 am breakfast.

There is only room for one chance, well, okay, maybe two, but still don’t waste your time and energy on someone who can’t be bothered to go that extra mile for you at the beginning. It’s a wake-up call of what your future will be like.

As the saying goes, there are plenty of fish in the sea, you just have to be careful on what you catch or what tries to catch you.
