Notes
from Coach Laura
 This month I am
present to the many women in our community who are dedicated to
empowering other women around the globe. If we want to see our world
change, we must support women in other countries empower themselves.
The power of women supporting women in causes we believe in can
change the world. I've included some ways you can connect to these
women in the Cool Stuff section below.
I also believe
in the ripple effect. What we do right here at home in our own lives
makes a difference. That's why I am dedicated to women empowering
each other right here. What I know is that when women gather... the
world changes.
Upcoming Women's
Gathering
May 22. 6:30 pm
Our
Women In Joy community is growing....
Last month our showing of Duty Dating had so much interest
that women have been volunteering to host additional showings. Our
discussions have prompted women to re-evaluate their approach to
finding Mr. Right and connect more deeply to who they are. If you
missed the movie and still want to see it, we have two more
opportunities in May.
Connect to
Your Creative Spirit - May 22, 2006
Many of us say we're not
artists, but that's because we insist it takes some sort of elusive
talent with a paintbrush or performing ability. At our May
gathering, you will have the opportunity to explore the medium you
are gifted in or discover a hidden talent. Creativity is inherent in
our nature. Come and connect and celebrate yourself with us.
Date: Monday, May 22, 2006
Time: 6:30 pm -9:30 pm
Place: San Diego

Ask Coach Laura Blog - Q&A
QUESTION: I'm dating a
few men right now and I think one of them could be a long term
relationship, but I'm also in love with one who just reappeared in
my life after 5 months. Should I give him another chance? Signed, In
Love Twice
ANSWER:
Dear In Love Twice,
Ah yes, it is possible to love two men at the same time. I think
it's great that you have many options. That will help you maintain
perspective and make choices for your highest good. The first thing
I recommend (if you can), is to take some time to step back and gain
some more perspective. Pretend for a moment that there were no men
in your life right now. You have a blank canvas to say what your
requirements for relationship are. I recommend evaluating three
things: first and foremost your values, next identify the five most
important things you
absolutely must have in a partner, and
thirdly determine what qualities you want your relationship to have.
All of this may be difficult to do "objectively" as you are in the
honeymoon period with both. If there are any questionable
characteristics you are noticing in either partner imagine yourself
with an anonymous person and visualize living with that
characteristic. How much does it bother you? If you can live with
those characteristics and your values align with his, he has the
non-negotiable qualities you are looking for and you feel you are
already demonstrating being able to create the relationship you want
(for example: seeing him as frequently as you want, you have great
chemistry, you have fun together, full disclosure, you feel like you
can say anything to him and visa versa, common interests, etc), then
keep moving forward. Remember he's not going to get any better than
the honeymoon period, so if there's something you wish would change
about him, think again. The key to gaining clarity is staying
connected to what you want and being true to your self. The giving
of your heart is a sacred act and one that I advocate taking when
you have consistent green lights within you. Be willing to stay true to your values, needs and heart
and create the
energy for your best match to reveal himself.
Wishing you every joy,
Coach Laura
