Forgive me Cupid, it has been three months since my last journal post.

And what an eventful three months it has been! Yowsa.

In late January I picked up a new marketing/PR client--a startup holistic matchmaking company headquartered in Southern California. To help me understand the services they offer (something akin to an "extreme relationship makeover"), I met with their PhD psychologist (the matchmaker), their life coach, a neurofeedback/brain health expert, and a hypnotherapist.

I love what I do for a living. And on some very special days, I feel like I should be paying the *client* because what I'm doing is so fun and rewarding. The past three months have definitely fallen into that category. It has certainly been exhausting, working 12+ hours a day (hence my absence from OKC) but very, very rewarding.

The cool thing is that I was essentially "auditing" the matchmaking process so I could write about it. But it has been wonderfully, unexpectedly life-changing nonetheless.

I'm still the same person (I think). But I've left behind a lot of the fears, doubts, insecurities, and baggage that really interfered with my ability to sustain the kind of relationship I want.

I've also become strangely...nicer. Until recently, I had a pretty acerbic, sarcastic sense of humor. A pretty self-deprecating wit. Then the hypnotherapist pointed out that "self-deprecating" was awfully close to "self-defacating" (eeeewwww) and that perhaps I could find a way to be funny that didn't involve metaphysically crapping on myself. (Again, eeewww.)

Another cool change...deep-seated contentedness and happiness. Which, ironically, has made me a lot less driven when it comes to finding a man! I would love to be in a relationship, but I've become a lot more choosy and a lot less desperate. My standards are higher; but I'm now a lot more flexible on certain things that used to be "must-haves." I'm still figuring out what those things are. And when I do, I'll update my profile to reflect it.

And now I'm definitely a personal growth junkie. I've spent the past few months dealing with people whose focus is helping people improve their lives, and it's...delicious. :) Being around self-aware and constantly improving people is so invigorating! Consciousness is sexy. Introspection rocks!!!

Who knows what could be around the corner?
