Dear Dr. Wendy,

Help! After my divorce, I avoided dating anyone for over a year. Now that I’m finally dating again, I’ve only gone out with people who don’t seem right for me. After meeting several where there was no mutual attraction, I finally met one who was attractive to me but we have no common interests and seem to have very different values. Am I being too picky? Maybe I should just go out with the one I’m attracted to! Should I stop dating again or is there hope for me? I hope you have another workshop coming up soon where I can get some information that might help me! Thanks!

Signed,
Pat in Novato

Dear Pat,

Yes there’s hope for you! Please don’t give up and please don’t settle for someone who isn’t a match for you. Luckily, you’re just in time to attend the next workshop on How to Create the Relationship of Your Dreams. I invite you and all your single friends to join us on Wednesday, April 2, 2008 7:00 - 9:30 PM (Please arrive promptly). We’re meeting at the Unitarian Universalist Center of Marin, Fireside Room
located at 240 Channing Way, San Rafael, CA 94903. The cost is only $20 ($10 for reviewers)
and refreshments will be provided. Please RSVP to reserve your place and/or to schedule a complimentary coaching session: You can reach me at (415) 342-1300 or DrWendy@InJoyLife.com (For more information see www.InJoyLife.com).

This event is an opportunity for you to meet singles and explore relationship issues, discover solutions to your past relationship patterns and learn how to avoid dangerous dating traps. If you date this person to whom you are attracted, it sounds like you’d be falling into the classic attraction trap. This is where you overlook major incompatibilities and focus on the strong attraction, hoping it will work out. It never does. Attraction is necessary but not sufficient to make a long term romantic relationship work. If you join us, you’ll learn how to avoid this and other dangerous dating traps, and you’ll learn the 10 principles of conscious dating, so you can have more enjoyable dates in the future!

You’ll also get a preview of the Relationship Success for Singles Course, which is guaranteed to help you create a life you love, with love in your life! The course meets for 10 weeks on Wednesday or Monday evenings starting April 30, 2008 and includes a comprehensive workbook and individual coaching.

In the ten week course, you are guaranteed to:

· Clarify your values, vision and essential relationship requirements.

· Uncover and release blocks and patterns that have stopped you.

· Develop a clear plan for creating the life and relationship you desire.

· Acquire a support team to assist you in finding the love of your life!

Here’s what others have said about the course:

“Wendy really helped me to identify my relationship needs and wants, and the blocks I had to finding the right partner… I got clearer on my relationship requirements, uncovered limiting beliefs, and made a plan for meeting my partner. I recently married an emotionally available man and we share something I never had before - real mature love. This course is an excellent way to get clearer on the type of relationship you want and to create a plan to achieve it.” C.P., Pleasanton, CA

“Wendy’s Relationship Success for Singles class was very useful in my process of finding the love of my life. We have been very happily married over 2 years now, and it just keeps getting better! We are overjoyed to have found each other. The course certainly made a major contribution to my readiness and clarity, and greatly increased the efficiency of my dating. I’m glad to have taken the class, and made some friends among the other attendees, in addition to the ways that it forwarded my search. I tell my single friends who ask (and many do, after seeing how good a relationship we have) about it.” D.D., Novato, CA

“After attending Wendy’s Introductory Evening, I asked myself if I was really serious about creating the relationship of my dreams. I knew this was my chance. Six months after I took her course, I started dating the man I married on Jan. 20, 2007. The workshop helped me find out what I really wanted so I could be the chooser instead of the chosen. Wendy gave me new tools which kept me from making the same mistakes. One of my tools was a hand made collage of my future life and relationship. I still have it on the wall and it inspires me to this day. Don’t miss this opportunity.” D.S. San Rafael

“Wendy is a light and a Love who is committed to helping men and women find the partner of their dreams. I just completed the 8 week course and learned A LOT about how I am in relationship and what I truly require in my next one. There is so much material to dive into and Wendy presents it in a fun and lighthearted way. The 8 week course yielded more than just a plan; I made some great new friends as well. Now that I have new tools and more knowledge about creating and manifesting a relationship of my vision, I can set out step by step, and explore. Now I can be the chooser/manifester…Sure you can read about how to do all this in great manuals, but to have a core group of support and comrades on the same journey is more than helpful; it’s essential! And Wendy creates the space for this to occur. Check it out and share with others.” M.C., Mill Valley

“The Relationship Course for Singles and Wendy’s coaching WORK!!!! It’s one thing to know that I want to be in a relationship. It’s another thing to know how to make it come true. Wendy gives you all the tools to make your love quest a success!
Wendy is wonderful in helping you explore, define, and focus your vision. She and the course are inspiring. I have learned to focus on my relationship vision and goals, to clarify my skills, needs, wants and values to attract and choose the right relationship for me. Wendy is the
greatest inspiration and support towards manifesting my dream!” H.C., Redwood City, CA

The investment for the 10 week course, coaching, workbook, and materials is normally $695 – and is reduced to $550 for enrollment by April 30. Additional discounts are available for early enrollment and if you sign up with a friend!
