Finding Mr. Right in Nine Holes

This is a post from a very dear friend of mine Catherine Behan.  She is the Golf in Love Instructor, the Soulmate Savvy Relationship Guru, if you want to have a fun relationship take on her  Soulmate Savvy Mastermind, and the LOALoveCoach for singles looking to attract someone that will align with their life goals.

She’s upped the level of play with her Golf in Love program and I wanted to give any golfers out there an introduction.

Seven Myths Women Believe About Golf

//

There is a secret out there that single women need to know about.

This secret is not for EVERY single woman, just the ones who have been wondering where the terrific, athletic, passionate, fun, ambitious, upwardly mobile and intelligent guys have been hiding out. Yes, ladies, I am talking about the golf course.

Now before you all start squawking out the list of reasons why “That will never happen!” Hear this:

75% of all the golfers playing the game are…..MEN.

Terrific, athletic, passionate, fun, ambitious, upwardly mobile and intelligent men. Three to one. Think about that a minute and then let’s look at the Seven Myths Women Believe About Golf.

1. It takes too much time. While playing 18 holes is a day swallowing event, there are many ways to experience golf in very sustainable bite sized chunks.  Once you have a practice routine and build a comfort zone so that you can show up at the range confidence intact, you can get a complete golf experience in an hour or less.

2. It takes too much effort: Yes, it does take some concentrated strategic effort to become confident enough with YOUR version of golf, but it can be done. Remember, you are doing a lot of other stupid shit to meet guys.

3. It costs too much money. It is easy and FREE, that’s right, free to get involved with golf. Yes, you will need a small investment to get started, but once you have your game plan in place, you can create romance on the golf course for FREE!

4. There are mean men out there. Yeah, so where in the world aren’t there a couple of bad apples. The key is become more confident so you ATTRACT positivity from the male golf community.

5. It is too embarrassing to miss shots. I get that. Even though I have played for over 30 years, I still get embarrassed. What has changed is my REACTION. This is my secret weapon. Being funny after a missed shot is VERY attractive to a guy!

6. I don’t have the right clothes: Please. Finding great golf clothes is easy. Even the major department stores carry golf friendly brands. If you want to see classy, sophisticated golf clothes, check out http://annikasorenstam.com and check her out.

7. There aren’t enough opportunities out there for women. That is changing Finally. I belong to a fantastic organization called http://WomenOnCourse.com and Donna Hoffman, the founder is like the Oprah of Women’s Golf in the US. Even the Wall Street Journal is watching her. This group is hot and current and you will find a virtual golf community that will definitely maximize your golf experience.

How do you know if the new wave of golf is for you?

1. Are you single?

2. Are you ready to be part of a couple?

3. Are you relatively athletic?

4. Are you interested in meeting terrific, athletic, passionate, fun, ambitious, upwardly mobile and intelligent men?

5. Are you ready to stretch your self-confidence and move forward toward golf and love?

If you answer a resounding yes to any of these questions, run don’t walk to http://WomenonCourse.com and sign up.

Become a Soulmate in Six Easy Lessons: Lesson One

Catherine Behan at Soulmate Savvy has a SoulMate micro coaching program. It’s an audio series of six sessions designed as in introduction to her work and to her six month program, the Soulmate Mastermind.

I just finished Lesson One.

I’m feeling like  “I did it wrong.” or “Why don’t I have more to say?”  But it’s done.  And trust me, when the audio session hit my inbox I couldn’t listen to it.  I can go out on a date and I can pretend I’m open, but the reality is, I’m going to shut down every man that comes along.

I guess I’ll do that until I don’t or I’ll just keep doing that.  So, I’m being brave and taking a look at the possibility that maybe I don’t have to wait and maybe I don’t have to settle and maybe there is something available in looking at what I’m doing, being or saying that isn’t allowing for anything but me saying ‘no’.

Here is what I found in lesson one:

What I want:

A man who partners with me financially.  He can have free reign over whatever he makes.  I don’t want it, but I want someone to talk finances with me, not AT me, with me.

A man who encourages my self-reliance and knows how much I need him.

A man who is and speaks encouragingly and gently.

A man who wants to put his arms around me and can be gentle.  I want to experience that his love is gentle.

A man that enjoys me, has a good time with me and laughs.

A man who loves his work and includes other people in great endeavors.

A man who loves his family.

We:

Each of us listens to the other

Enjoy each others and our unique differences

Enjoy the uniqueness of those in our lives.

Are warm with each other and can laugh.

Accomplish a lot but do it in confidence, peace and at a pace that allows for life to be good.

Value each other.

Appreciate each others pursuits.

Honor and value eachother’s accomplishments.

What these would allow:

Laughter, Encouragement, Trust

Relaxation

Simple Confidence

Gratitude

Room to accomplish what I want  practically, in intelligence, with full interest and  joy.

An engaged and spectacular partner!

A community of intelligent, conscious, loving, open, generous, fun and joyful  people.

It’s a wonder what comes out of my heart sometimes, because all of this is there, but I’m saying ‘no’ to all opportunities to explore this.  I have it that men don’t want this stuff and that I’m just a stupid female, but I’m not willing to negate something that makes me feel good.

Lesson Two just arrived.  Let ya know how that goes.

Cute Island Guys From Fiji and other Saturday Night Music

Working on a Saturday night, came across these cute guys. Wild Fijians! Love that yelling thing, so much nicer than the way those Wild Ass Mauri do it!

He’s one for the guys, since y’all are all into the Brazilianas these days.

Then on came Sara, Balance, Bass Nova

Alan Watts POV on Life

This guy is such a treat. I had to share it here.

Uh oh. I’m a little hooked. Here’s another.

Ow. This one hurts.

The Kitchen Sink, Dating in Dania Beach, FL

OH MY GOD… I was watching TheFood Channel and this showed up. I so wish I lived in Dania Beach, FL. This is a tabletop festival they call The Kitchen Sink. It’s a fully loaded Ice Cream Sundae that’s served in a kitchen sink with two sparklers! Wonder if they allow ya to BYO dessert wine. I will make a special trip to this Ice Cream shop in my lifetime, mark my words. It’s gotta go on the list. In fact I need to make the list. It’s good for, both, falling in love and breaking up!! Rock on.

Do Men Like Divas?

I was checking my blog stats the other day. I’m rather addicted to checking the stats on this blog, since it’s my most fun site. “Do Men Like Divas” was a search that led to our blog. Well, thanks very much to the person that created the search, it’s a great question. Now, I want to know too!

Let me start this post by saying that I define Diva as a woman who likes herself and knows what she likes and wants. Note: a Brat is a woman who has to have what she wants. Divas may well be grown up brats, we know what we want, but we’re willing to be open to things we never knew were available too!! Lol.

Here’s what I find when I Google, “Do Men Like Divas”.

#1 – Why Gay Men Love Female Divas – LOL!! Hilarious. – Does that indicate Gay Men may have a higher level of self-acceptance than straight men? Yo no se. You men will have to tell me.

#2 Justin Timberlake is no Diva – Hell no! He’s just very Metro, Gen Y, Mod Geek. I do not look forward to the ego confrontations these Gen Y guys are gonna have to deal with. It’s not gonna be pretty. Mark my words.

#3 Shay, the Date Diva speaks with Brother Marcus on whether men like to be approached by women. – This woman keeps showing up in my online world, we make have to get to know her!

Here’s my deal on this topic, WHO CARES!!! If I approach you and you like it, we’re great. If I approach you and you don’t like it, I bet there are going to be a lot of things about me you don’t like.

I don’t think there’s a hard a fast rule about this one. Doesn’t matter to me who does the approaching, it’s what happens after we’ve approached one another I care about.

I don’t think I would enjoy a man with hard and fast rules like this. To me it’s like asking, “Should you let a man lick your ankles?” Well, honestly, I don’t know… I don’t think I’ve ever had a man lick my ankles, it could be a lot of fun… We won’t know till we try, hey?

#4 A Blog Post from the Ape Culture blog, which looks good. The post is a review of a concert called, Men Strike Back, which I’ve never heard of. –

I take it this concert series was an organized response to the series of Divas concerts over the last 10 years from Music’s great Divas the likes of Celine, Cher, Barb, Who else??? I don’t know. Love those Divas, would love to see Bette Midler in concert. That’d be joy. I don’t want to hear her be crass right now, though, I want to hear her be sweet. She’s so stunning when she’s sweet.

#5 A connection to the Advice Diva’s Blog. Lot’s and lot’s of advice like “How to get your ex back.” – If I have to approach it like that, I’m pretty clear getting him back won’t be worth it.

And Last but truly not the least…

#6 A blog post called “Weak Men Don’t Like Strong Women” – I didn’t read it. let me know if I missed anything. The title is great and I’ll let you guys sort out for yourself if that is true or not. I want to be liked by the people I spend time with. It’s not an option for me to care about you so much that I forget to care about myself.

I will continue on this Diva path and seek relationships with men and women that are encouraging, expanding and a ton of fun.

Thanks for playing. This was fun.

How to Be a Soul Mate: A Lesson for Great Lovers

Here is a post from relationship and soul mate coach Catherine Behan out of San Diego.  What I like about Catherine is that she is not ‘atmospheric’.  When she speaks about a soul mate she doesn’t transcend universes.  She’s hoping your relationship will, but she’s present, and I think part of her point is that good soul mates stay present for each other too.  I really like this lady.  Here is a quick lesson from Catherine on being savvy about relationships.  Find her on Twitter @soulmatemastery and at her blog SoulMateSavvy

Lizzie, this is for you today.  It’s what you keep saying.

What Is A Savvy Soul Mate?

Soul Mate is a woman who:

• Knows exactly what she wants, not what she THINKS she wants.
• Finds soul satisfying enjoyment in many places, not just within her relationship.
• Possesses a high degree of self-compassion.
• Has made peace with past relationship dramas and traumas.
• Discovers new talents and gifts and pursues them.
• Balances career and personal life.
• Trusts at least one woman friend with her heart’s deepest dreams, fears and dilemmas.

How Savvy Are You?

The Soul Mate Mastermind Coaching Program begins on June 1. Listen in on one of these Preview Calls and get all the juicy details.  Registration for calls happens here:   The Soul Mate Mastermind begins June 1, 2009
