Ready for Love?? MAYbe! #WineSale!

 So, did you watch Ready for Love, last night?  Hmmm.. thought it was going to have all sorts of fun dating advice, since they have the three Matchmakers, but instead it's yet another dating show where there are 5 million women paraded in front of a guy (Rock Star?? hahaha!  Pop Star, maybe...have they drastically changed the meaning of Rock Star, and I didn't hear about it until last night? So silly! )

I liked the guy, don't get me wrong, but I have had it with all this information for women (and men) to be themselves on a date, but NOT to be funny.  Ugh! Nooo.  Be funny!  Funny gets girls, if you're looking for a girl... I've gotten married twice because of a great sense of humor.... gets me every time! lol!  That, and a great body, but I've never married the 'great body' ones! hahaha!  They had virtually no sense of humor, and that's what you need to make your life sooo much nicer, right??  So I didn't like that 'dating advice'.

And that poor girl, Leah, I think, the one who had previously been involved with the 'Rock Star' (now I just like referring to him like that... clearly, I canny remember his name! lol!), intimately, as they tried to make her say on national television... clearly they had had a previous relationship, and she must have thought it meant way more than it did to him, which leads me to believe that this guy might be just a tad shallow, dispite his musical prowess, and didn't she say she met him when he was married??  Maybe another reason his marriage didn't work out?  Hmmmm.... whatevs, everyone deserves love, blah, blah.... and how is it they can have a French girl on there - aren't there immigration issues at hand, there, too??  hahaha!  I know from personal experience! hahaha!

Okay, so I liked the funny girl (big surpise! lol!), the art teacher, and the girl who can play the piano so well (very pretty girl), and the girl who had lost her fiance to skin cancer - sad story... and I can't remember the rest... will watch it, again, of course... really like Guiliana and Bill Rancic, and the format of the show was interesting, but it's not what I thought it would be.  This business of sooo many girls for one guy - that's just a bad idea, as ideas go.  And just because he's good at singing, doesn't mean he should make a girl who wants to be with him also be a musician... is handy for the band, but you shouldn't make those girls all uncomfortable... aaargh, hate that!  Even a seasoned musician would be nervous in a situation like that...

And then the whole choosing section, or, more accurately, the NOT choosing section, where they disappear under the stage... sorta funny, but pretty disturbing! haha!  Poor wee Leah, and look at all the work she had done on her lips, just to try to catch her 'man'... is like fishing, finding the shiniest lure to catch your fish! hahaha!  I felt for that kid, though - so young, that must have been really painful for her.  I always hope that someone will be watching the show, will be attracted to any of these girls, and then they'll find more 'love opportunities'.... oooh, I like that phrase - love opportunities! haha!  That's what I need - more 'love opportunities'! hahahaha!  I hope YOU have lot's of Love Opportunities, too!! Maybe tonight?? I hope so! lol!   See ya', baby!  Ailsa xox!

#Wishes! Beyond The Secret - A Very Interesting and Enlightening Read : ) #TheSecret #SteveHarvey #LawofAttraction #LOA #GenieWishes #MakeAWish!

Make Your 5 Genie Wishes! 

5 Genie Wishes, as a way to help you fall asleep faster and much easier... it works! 

Generally, my Genie wishes are soo elaborate, lots of extra detail, like a little discussion of all that the Wish entails, so, more often than not, I nod right off before I'm even started on my First Genie Wish - haha! 

Anyway, that said, I love the whole concept of making wishes, there's nothing wrong with that, is inappropriate for some meannie (it's always a meannie) who says, Ach, that's jus' 'Wishful Thinking' - Yes, it IS Wishful Thinking - and that's a VERY good thing - Wishes are just Hopes with another name, and they give you a very nice glimpse into your possible futures, what you REALLY wish would happen for you in your life, so, go on and make all the wishes you want, then go out and make all your wishes come true! : )

This of all the wonderful things you can Wish for, and list them when you are ready to fall asleep - it's a great way to put things in order, in your own head, a new way to prioritize what's important to you, today : ) 

Make A Wish - Make 5 Wishes! 

Try making your 5 Genie Wishes - or any kind of wishes, or any kind of list, to help you fall asleep at night - it really works! Night night! lol! : ) #GetAGoodSleep!

Go ahead and do your 5 Genie Wishes - is very good for freeing your mind, you can wish for anything you want, it doesn't have to be altruistic, like you would do in a prayer (prayer is good, too, of course!), and your 5 wishes can change every day, as your life changes, and your interests and desires change. Make a Wish, Baby - Make 5 Genie Wishes! : )


I just finished reading Beyond the Secret, by Dr. Lisa Love.  Very interesting.  I never did get around to reading The Secret, by Rhonda Byrne, but I love Steve Harvey, and he mentions it a lot in his books, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man... and Steve Harvey mentions The Secret on his TV show, The Steve Harvey Show (10am, Monday to Friday, on Channel 52 KSTW).


 There you go - this link to Barnes and Noble will take you straight to Beyond the Secret, by Dr. Lisa Love.

Anyway, Steve Harvey talks about The Secret a lot, enough that I was thinking about it when I was at the library, last week... some sections of our favorite library are kind of a mishmash of books, which is, in itself, sort of funny (but makes it tricky to find books without asking someone, or looking them up online), but that mishmash approach worked in my favor, last week, since I accidentally came across Beyond the Secret, so I picked it up, checked it out, and voila, now I've found a new book and perhaps a new approach to life! TaaDaa!! I'll definitely let you know how wildly successful I become, as soon as it happens... will start putting the energy out there to become wildly successful (so I can help even more people...!), since the whole premise of the book is taking a more spiritual approach to the whole Law of Attraction Principle. Very interesting, right?  I really liked it : )

 And this link will take you straight to Steve Harvey's books - I love them all - funny, straight-forward, and really good, solid, advice : )

I like anything that brings greater insight into yourself, helps you cope better with life, teaches you little bits and pieces that will help you to have a happier, more fulfilled, more joyous and prosperous life, and then you can pass that information and those new skills on to your children, spouse, partner, students, Readers... lol!  Whoever you can pass the information along to, it's all for the Greater Good, right?  Yep!  Hello, Greater Good!

 And this just looks like a whole lot of relaxing fun! lol!

I love the idea of The Law of Attraction.  All very 'power of positive thinking', but with specific goals in mind.  Very useful in just defining what it is you really want or need in your life, and, of course, very interesting how those things can change so drastically over the years.  One thing I really liked in Beyond the Secret was the notion of how what you really, really want might not be what is good for you (well, an old boyfriend comes to mind, here - ugh, what a jerk!!  And I desperately wanted to marry him for years and years, but he was too cool for school to get married, so now he's just an old bachelor - yuck!!  Dodged a bullet on that one! hahaha!)  So it's interesting the concept that although you might desperately seek something or someone out for yourself, the universe might be helping you out by keeping it out of your hands... interesting, huh?  Thanks, Universe!

But I really, really love the concept of the Law of Attraction to bring what you really want and need into your life.  I think it makes you really focus on what you really want, and that, in turn, makes you think more seriously about the steps you might need to take to make that happen - and then there are the incredible gifts from God, or the Universe (pretty much the same thing, for me! lol!).  I am a religious girl, if you haven't noticed, yet (!), so I pray a lot, and I started holding my Bible while I am praying, or put your hands on your bible - as long as you are connected physically to your Bible... it feels very effective.  I first heard of that from Joel Olsteen when he was on Oprah's Master Class, and it really moved me.  I'd never heard of anything like that, before (I'm Presbyterian! lol!  We tend not to do anything that 'hands on', if you will! lol!), but I've been holding my Bible to my heart when I pray, ever since then, and I have to say, what a huge change for the better in my life.  Try it, if you are comfortable with that.

In the meantime, think of the genie in the bottle (nooo, you silly, not Christina Aguilera! hahahaha!), coming to grant you your wishes, and make your wishes right now - go ahead, I'll wait... done??  Now start to bring those thoughts into your life all the time, whenever you remember to! lol!  It takes a bit of determination, but it'll work... and you can learn some really good meditation techniques in Beyond the Secret, too... it just seems like a very kind, very spiritual approach to The Secret... something to think about, and definitely a Good Read!
