100 Day Fitness Challenge

So, I am doing a 100 day fitness challenge with a group on line, Megan Castran started it. I met Megan a year and half ago in Beverly Hills one night when I was out with some friends at Mastro's Steak House. She had been stood up by a friend for dinner and just walked right up to me and introduced herself. Megan told me that she was part of an online community called the 100 Day Reality Challenge (www.cocreatingourreality.com) which is like a myspace for people who are into the Law of Attraction. I immediately joined and have met some amazing people who keep me inspired daily.
Megan lives in Australia and is here in L.A. on vacation. She invited me to hike up Runyon Canyon with her and her family this morning. I live a block from Runyon and love it, although instead of hiking up the canyon, I generally wimp out and just walk up and down the streets in my neighborhood. I have about 8 pounds that have managed to take residence on my stomach and legs that I am determined to get off and the hike today made me realize that my little "walks" just aren't cutting it, as I was left in the dust by everyone on the hike. So, I am participating in the 100 Day Fitness Challenge with gusto, and will be hiking that canyon at a fast clip very soon.

Amazing New Book

I just read this amazing new book by Lilou Mace.

International Internet guru, a.k.a. "Big L", believes that we can create anything we want using the power of our thoughts (as revealed in The Secret). Drawn to the USA from France, she used this law called The Law of Attraction, to co-found the "100-Day Reality Challenge" community, build a following of thousands of YouTubers, and meet Oprah Winfrey, someone she greatly admires.
Go to Amazon.com and get your copy. Be ready to be inspired!

Photobucket Album

I have been going to some fund raisers in Los Angeles for prop 2. Californians please vote yes on prop 2. It is a modest measure that stops cruel and inhumane treatment of animals, ending the practice of cramming farm animals into cages so small the animals can't even turn around, lie down or extend thier limbs.
Even if you eat meat, you will want to vote yes, to help stop the animals from suffering.

Why Men Don't Call

As a professional matchmaker, I still get asked the question, why didn't the guy call me again like he said he would? You probably had a great time, felt chemistry and even kissed. It can get frustrating if you let it. But the trick is not to let it phase you! The guy that you were so excited to see again could have been married, engaged, seeing three other girls at the same time and chose one he liked better, thought that your nose was too long, your butt was too big, you talked too much, or you were too sweet. The fact is, you will never know. He has his reasons so just leave it at that. If he hasn't expressed any more interest, then he isn't your soul mate. Move on down the road. Date like a guy, go out, have fun, meet new people. Your life is fascinating and busy, so frankly, if he doesn't call again, you most likely won't even notice!

Are You A Job Snob?

Here is a question I got recently from a client:
I met a sexy, funny guy at a party recently. We really hit it off and saw each other for breakfast the next day and a movie the next night. He finally told me what he does for a living. He wears a character costume outside of different businesses. I don’t want to be shallow but I was turned off immediately.

What someone chooses to do for a living tells you a lot about the person. While it is important to see everyone for who they are and appreciate their inner qualities and not just what they do for work, you also have to be aware of the choices men you date are making. If he has this job because he is lazy and doesn’t want to put in the effort to get educated or find a real career, then this can be a problem. Also, is someone who has an extremely low-paying job with no benefits going to be able to be there for his family and kids financially? On the other hand, if he is dressing up in silly costumes just to make it though a rough patch while he is looking for work or going to school, then it is admirable that he isn’t above doing what he has to do to get things in order and pay his bills.

Men often have preconceived ideas about women with certain professions. I have had men tell me that they do not want to date a lawyer, because they felt that she would have too strong a personality. I have also had men tell me that they would not want to date a massage therapist or a hairdresser because they felt that she would not have anything in common with his high-powered lifestyle in the business world. Personally, I bless all of your massage therapists and hairdressers because I don’t know what I would do without you!

Getting Down To The Nitty Gritty

Dates are supposed to be fun not a chore, a job, or drudgery. A date is supposed to be about going out and enjoying life and in the process getting to know someone new. So often a date can feel like an interview or an interrogation. What a drag, right?
First dates can be nerve wracking considering that your date for the evening will be assessing all of your good points as well as your faults and may find some of them unacceptable. The trick is not to worry about whether there will be a second date, just concentrate on having a great first one.
You do want to be aware of his reactions so that you can assess the situation.

Here are five Clues that a man is not interested in you on a date:

1. He is checking out other women in the room or flirting with the waitress.
2. He shows no interest in what you are saying. He has kind of a vacant look like he is in another world.
3. He tells you that he is not interested in a long- term relationship or that he has no intention of getting married for a long time if ever.
4. He says things that are offensive, sarcastic or rude. Some men use this technique to sabotage a date so that you won’t want to see him again.
5. He makes calls on his cell phone or is constantly texting.
Being aware of his body language or downright blatant clues will help you to make a more graceful exit at the end of the evening. Knowing that he isn’t really interested actually puts you in a power position of just being able to observe, learn a few things and know that you will be moving on to the next guy and one step closer to finding Mr. Right.
