Comment on A Man with a Plan

Anonymous — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 21:11:22 GMT

As a man who is also oblivious to things, I would have loved it to get some advice like "Women like a man with plan" because I (and probably most men) just guess and makes excuses why things don't work out. Sure, my feelings would have been hurt, but at least I would have learned something instead of continue to do the same things that don't work and lead to missed opportunities.

Emma,
I'm an aspiring writer. I admire your ability to connect with your audience. Have you considered doing a post on your writing process? I am always so interested in how different writers write and what works for them. I know I would love to hear about what works for you, and I'm sure your other readers would, too!

Excellent post! You're right, type As are the ones who would best benefit from less Power Yoga and more Restorative Yoga. One piece of advice about meditation that someone shared with me is if you're struggling to keep your mind still (or meditation freaks you out, period) start by lighting a candle and watching the flame flicker for 2, 4, 7 minutes. Zoning out on a flame will be your friend! -Emma

Hmm...I do have many "intentions" for this year, rather than "resolutions". I guess I just want to build on what I have been doing for the past year. Great blog though about taking one's head out of the sand. I need to do the same myself. I can be rather self-absorbed; I just keep it to myself so no one really knows until I have to ask them to repeat what they just said! I'm too busy delving into my own thoughts to listen. I will "intend" do work on that! :)

This post is absolutely amazing and you could not have hit the nail on the head any harder.

I'm approaching the 1 year mark of what was a miserable break up for me. There was a lot of couch time, a lot of hours watching The Notebook, a lot of crying, and sadly a lot of "but I don't understand... if you say I'm the best thing that ever happened to you, why are you not with me??"

Now that I know this man is still dating the woman he SWORE had NOTHING to do with our break up, we'll call 12/12/11 "The Day I Dodged a Bullet."

Thanks for this post!
