December 1st , 2007

Hi all, it's Kara here,

It's been a while and I apologize for that. I've just been so focused on developing my new web site, DatingSuccessTechnology.com, that I'm having trouble finding time for anything else. If I could figure out a way to work without sleeping, right now, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

In this issue:
1) Jump Start Your Heart™
2) Fear Of Failing Can Keep Us From Succeeding
3) Launch Date Set For DatingSuccessTechnology.com
4) I'm Taking Down My Other Web sites

1) Jump Start Your Heart
Opening your heart is a tricky business. When you do that you risk being hurt. But if you don't give it a try, you'll never be able to enjoy a deeper level of love. That kind of love requires you to be vulnerable, to take a risk. This is something I'm working on with Chris, my fiance', so I need to learn to do this as much as anyone else.

When people tell me, "They won't let me get too close because they've been hurt. So I'm just being patient." Both men and women say this to me, but more often it's women saying it about men. If you're already enjoying a certain level of love and openness, great. Just keep opening to each other more and more. But if you're frustrated, and it's been a short time that you've known each other and you know it's time that things moved up to a deeper level of caring, then that's the time to decide if you want to continue with that person.

Sometimes – dare I say often – men use this as a way to not get too deeply involved. I'd love to poll a good number of men who say this and find out if it's that their hearts got broken or if their wallet got cleaned out in a messy divorce. That would be more understandable than avoiding love.

But if you're enjoying a relationship where love is flourishing, it can always get better. If your partner is willing, it's a wonderful process to share if you will sit together, either face-to -face or side-by-side, and with closed eyes, imagine the love energy emanating from your heart to your partner's. Imagine a flow of energy traveling back and forth between each other's hearts. If you do this together, you will be shocked and amazed at how much more love you're able to experience. If your partner is not willing, then if you do it on your own, you'll at least feel more love for your partner. It's just so much more powerful if you do it together.

If you're dating different people this process can allow you to get past the surface "wrapping" so that you can find the "gift" that is within. As long as the "ick factor" isn't in play, then how tall, rich, fat, skinny or tantalizing someone is should be secondary to how it feels to connect with their heart. Even if there's no real attraction, at least you can enjoy a heartfelt experience with a fellow traveler who is searching for love... just like you.


2) Fear Of Failing Can Keep Us From Succeeding
Whether you're dating, married, or somewhere in between, fear of failing can do a lot to keep us from getting what we really want. This hold true for everything we want but since I'm the relationship expert, we'll stick to that topic. But just remember that it works for all your goals, hopes and dreams.

The reason I'm writing about this topic is inspired by Martha Beck, a life coach who has a regular column in Oprah Magazine. She made a comment that is so huge that I couldn't just leave it alone. I had to share it with you: "The difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is that successful people fail more." What does that mean? Like I said above, you need to take a risk... in this case, a risk of opening your heart. Sure you can get hurt, but isn't the possibility of success worth it? And the bigger risk you take, the greater possibility of failure AND success. So I say, take the risk and go for the success. If you fail, just like Thomas Edison said, "Well, that one more thing that didn't work."

The only time you blow it is when you shrink back, vowing not to try something like that again AND/OR you don't learn from each failure. You see, there's no such thing as a failure if you learn from it because when you learn from it it's a wonderful life lesson. Everything we do is an opportunity to learn. And with each thing we learn, the better we get. Better at handling life, at loving, at opening to receiving another's love, at making money, at making friends... you name it. Our job, whether you know it or not, whether you accept it or not, is to become the very best people we can be while we are on this amazing ride on a planet that is spinning 1000 mph and traveling through space at 67,000 mph! Don't you think that's fantastic? Don't you think your life is fantastic? Then get out there and make the very most of it. Love with abandon, take risks, be willing to fail because with each and every failure you get to be that much smarter, that much better, that much more lovable.


3) Launch Date Set For DatingSuccessTechnology.com
I've been talking about my new web site and my new business for a while. I've been working my buns off getting the web site finished and the courses completed. Now I'm close enough to announce that on January 2nd, 2008, DatingSuccessTechnology.com will go live. If you want to be notified you can go there and sign up to receive the 3 emails I'll be sending out. One you get immediately upon signing up, one a couple of days before the launch date and one on January 2nd. When it goes live you'll definitely want to take advantage of several offers. The first that will attract your attention will probably be the special report, 15 Dating Mistakes. There are both a men's and a women's version, because although some of the mistakes that men and women make are the same, there are others that are gender specific. Another thing you'll want to do is take the Heart Fitness Test. That will be a revealing look at how well prepared you are to love. Then the other thing that you can receive is 9 Steps To Instantly Improve Your Dating Skills. That comes with a one month trial membership where you get FULL ACCESS to everything available to members only.

If you're married or in a committed relationship, the next thing I'll be working on is the Committed Couples Support Center. Dating advice is different than committed couple advice and I want to be able to offer richer, more focused advice to both groups. You'll get an opportunity soon to sign up for the Committed Couples newsletter in January.


4) I'm Taking Down My Other Web Sites
Just so you know, Men Made Easy, Marriage Made Easy, and Women Made Easy will no longer be available after January 1st, 2008. Those books will only be available as courses. I want people to really get the full benefit possible with what I teach and I've determined that the best way to accomplish that goal is to offer that information as a fully developed course. So if you've been thinking of getting your copy of any of those books, you should do so prior to January 1st. Also, I'm going to be taking down AliveWithLove.com. I know a lot of you visit it regularly to read the over 500 pages of articles, but I must focus my energy on DatingSuccessTechnology.com because that's where I want to focus my energy. S just know that January 1st they all will be taken down.

That's it for now. I hope you will take a risk and open you heart to life, to love, to possibilities you don't yet know exist.

With much love,
