"On a sunset walk by the water, I clipped this beautiful wild heather, and it makes me smile, because everything we need is here. The universe is abundant," says Angela Olsen

Contributing to the Resident gives me opportunities to connect with more people than I would otherwise have. I receive remarkable feedback, as well as, I am often a shoulder to cry on or a confidante when it comes to the trials and tribulations of people in search of true love. Most recently, I am meeting people whom are feeling the crunch of our economy, a former executive who wants me to keep an ear open for any form of work, hauling junk, cleaning, anything. When faced with these challenges, it can take a toll on who we thought we were, and mess with our self esteem, myself included!
Patti Stanger, the Millionaire Matchmaker, whom I met at Mohegan Sun on Valentine’s Weekend, wants people to know, that “YOU are the prize!” In a recent online post, Patti says, (to women, but men listen up as well!) “He needs to please you as much as you need to please him. Ask yourself what type of man it will take to win your heart? What is your type? What values do you have? Don’t forget, YOU are the prize!”
Even in challenging economic times, the goodness of people prevails.
My identity was deeply connected to my cash position for many years, and as I took a peek into the lives of some amazing residents, I realize that we all have so much to offer beyond money!
A woman tells me, “I would love to join Patti’s club, but I am not a millionaire.” Fear not, if a person is wealthy, and unaffected by the economy, he should be more than willing to share! One thing that makes me feel worthwhile is cooking! There are inexpensive, and scintillating meals which can be prepared for marginal cost, and believe me, food is definitely still one way in to a man’s heart! Goya products help in a major way!
See the recipe here for a light, low carb, low calorie salad, which is a crowd-pleaser.
To quote Eckhart Tolle, whose books saved my life, “Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.” Thank you for reading!
