The essence of true attraction

Now that Christmas is over, the inevitable retail season of hearts and candies is upon us. Yes, the former Catholic holiday in honor of St. Valentine has followed the path of Christmas. Instead of going to mass and lighting a candle we are subjected to constant commercials for dating sites, restaurants, and all sorts of romantic ideas. Unlike Christmas, this particular holiday is exclusive to those who are in pair bonds. According to some marketing statistics the highest number of membership purchases on dating sites or matchmaking companies is often after Christmas or Valentine's Day.

Countess Etiquette

She is no longer a Countess but still uses the title. LuAnn de Lesseps of The Real Housewives of New York wrote this book in her own attempt to be a protocol queen but it’s a difficult read. Having manners is something that the Countess does not display much of when she insults fellow cast mates on the show. Maybe she thinks it’s tough love but I doubt she will win any Miss Manners Awards anytime soon. The Countess was one by marriage but she is divorced so she really isn’t one anymore. But in her reality the rules don’t apply.

No Need For A Matchmaker When You Use Intuition

Ever wonder how people have chance meetings with the love of their life? I once heard Johnny Depp say that when he first went to France he had a feeling something magical was going to happen. It did. Depp met the love of his life Vanessa Paradis on that trip. Now it’s hard to imagine Depp and Paradis not together.

Many great love stories seem to happen through serendipity. A seat on an airplane. A train ticket mix-up that resulted in first class. Two people bumping into one another on a sidewalk. Is it just luck or is it intuition?

Why less is more, more often

How to Rule the World from Your Couch , by Laura Day, is an unofficial follow-up to The Circle, where she writes more on the notion of energy as a method of shifting the forces of fate around you. In The Circle, Day listed that the second element of wish fulfillment is embodiment. Embodiment is defined as the ability to fortify your senses in such as way that your entire being feels as if your wish has come true. It’s like the expression, "I can almost taste it," when describing an imminent victory.

Wishing and hoping are not the same thing.

The Circle , by Laura Day, offers a breakdown of how a wish comes true from conception to birth. Complete with a nine point plan that includes exercise and meditations, this book explains that a wish does not need magic to come true, The Circle simple describes the dynamic of making a wish become reality. The best thing about this book is that it is not about candles, incense, spells, or any kind of nonsense.
