FATE: Are we in the hands of fate or is fate in our hands?

Are we meant-to-be or are we meant-to-make-it-happen? Some people and moments-in-time feel unexplainably meant-to-be. But what about the thousands that don’t?

Sticking Your Neck Out —

One of my author faves, Allison Winn Scotch explores choice vs. fate in THE THEORY OF OPPOSITES, a modern day love story about losing a safety net and learning how to jump anyway. Yikes! It’s about going in the opposite direction of your comfort zone (not my favorite direction) — creating a “Life Map”, then owning it/living it fearlessly and intensely, regardless of how vulnerable, inadequate, and totally freaked-out you might be. (I’m freaked out just thinking about it!)

Last month real life “Air-Traveler” Erica Domesek (@psimadethis) decided to edit her own Fairy Tale via Twitter after she sat next to her “future husband” but didn’t get his full name on a flight. (Don’t you just hate when that happens?) Erica tweet-begged the airlines to help her track him down and when that failed, she rallied the universal Twitter Nation. Erica took destiny into her own hands after her possible true love had been seated in “2B.” Read the rest of this entry »

Banksy’s heart-on

It’s almost February 14th — UGH!

That means:
PRESSURE if you’re in a Relationship. DEPRESSION if you’re not.

It’s the HOLIDAY of unrealistic EXPECTATIONS and humongous DISAPPOINTMENTS (so fun!) —
Wait… isn’t that just about my every day?

Oops!

So uhm, while you’re trying to bribe the hostess at that fully-booked “romantic” restaurant and feeling kinda forced to express yourself, why not take time to listen to my Valentine’s Day Songlist? Who knows, maybe it’ll help put you —

How do we know if we need to work harder for something we really want or if it’s time to give up, time to let go? That’s a tough question, because when we’re in the middle of it – like a career we think we’re right for, but stuck halfway up a very high hill —  or a relationship that’s good in some ways, but maybe not good enough when it comes to forever and ever — we just don’t know.

It’s confusing because we might get a lot of positive feedback in our chosen CAREER (like I get from Casting Directors, or people I’ve worked with in the past) but not a lot of jobs.  Or maybe the POSSIBLE SOULMATE we adore opens up a little bit more (like a certain doctor in my ER), but then pulls back… Ugh!

“To Be or Not To Be…”

Life has a lot of sorta-right-sorta-wrong gray areas, where we’re sorta stuck… sucked in by emotional quicksand.

And it’s a case-by-case situation – there’s no crystal-ball-global-answer, which is beyond frustrating!  Sometimes it helps if we do an out-of-body and look in – like we’re advising a best friend who’s in the exact same situation.

What advice would I give myself if I’m being totally objective? Read the rest of this entry »

Is FOREVER AND EVER a figment of my imagination?

Is he someone I can’t have, so that makes me want him more? Or is he in my heart deeply, purely, completely because we’re meant to be?

Are we just a romantic moment? A true love story? Best friends? Soul mates? Two simply in sync?

Or is he a drug zapping me of sense of time and consequence? Do I experience withdrawal because I’m I addicted to the fantasy?

looking for “the one”

Am I a physical attraction that will fade from his romantic sunset? The chase that’s no longer exciting, once he catches up?

Will he slay dragons and swim through shark infested waters through sickness and frustrating life-sucking situations? Will he stick with me when I get crabby, stomachache-y and emotional monthly? Read the rest of this entry »

if only…

Call it what you want – “SOULMATE”, “OTHER HALF”, “PERFECT PERSON” – we’re all looking, but we’re not all finding. Or — maybe we have found… WAIT! How do you know if the One is THE ONE? 

Like a certain Doctor who keeps messing with my mind…

Is he what I’m looking for? Am I that for him? Am I the yin to his yang? The vice to his versa? The Tiffany to his Pat?

No need to consult my CRYSTAL BALL about Valentine’s Day. I’ll be getting countless contradictory verbal and nonverbal romantic riddles from Dr. Adam — same as last year, only more of ’em.

It’s exhausting trying to figure out how he can sound closed-off, as he stands ultra-close. I’m not talking about some of the time, I’m talking about all of the time. And no, I’m not imagining it! He actually leans into my body when he says, “Do me a favor and get some ice.” – (No it’s not for our chilled drinks, it’s for an icebag for a patient!)

He’s a perfectly proper Physician whenever anyone’s around in the ER, but then very flirty when no one’s watching.  So does he or doesn’t he: Like me? Love me? Get me? Need me? Want me? Hey, I don’t even know if I want him – unless I get to pick the version I want.
