Attraction (h)Artichokes

You've heard of 'like attracts like'. Well, if that's true then "yuk attracts yuk"! The law of attraction is referred to in many ways by many schools of thought. Some call it karma; others call it the golden rule, still others refer to it as 'you reap what you sow'. The law of attraction ensures that what we put out in the world, we get back - some say threefold, others say tenfold. The law of attraction rewards any emotion with the same emotion; the reward of patience is patience, anger begets anger, love begets love.

Magnetic Polarity Mangoes

As an outsider looking in on others' relationships we sometimes think, "now there's an unhealthy relationship"!! Maybe, to you, it's passive-aggressive; maybe it's codependent; maybe one of the mates is abusive… whatever whoever defines as "unhealthy".

Manifesting Mushrooms

Ahhhh…the elusive manifesting concept. Not as elusive as you might think. We'll look at various presentations of this concept. As you munch your mushrooms, you will find that manifesting and attraction work together. However, we will deviate from the mushroom concept…mushrooms grow and thrive in the dark; people do not…if you keep yourself in the dark, you will not grow. Ultimately we all want to grow…in our lives and in our relationships with each other, right?

Reaping & Sowing Ratatouille

Do I reap what I sow or sow what I reap?!?! Ah, that is the question. This adage has always been somewhat of a "chin-scratcher"… ya know, like "which came first, the chicken or the egg?" And, it's right up there with "what goes around comes around." Which does come first, anyway?

Visualization & Vinegar

What? Why is she talking about vinegar - a sour liquid obtained by fermentation of dilute alcoholic liquids and used as a condiment or preservative - and how can vinegar have anything to do with relationships? And how is she gonna whip this one around to using vinegar with visualization? Funny thing about that is as I'm typing this, I'm not even sure yet. One thing I do know is that being part of a couple, feeling like you belong to someone, and being in love certainly goes a long way in preserving longevity. Not only that, being the condiment that enhances the "flavor" of life is most definitely something to visualize.

Word Waffles

There are way more "interpretive" definitions of words than IHOP and Belgium have waffles. How would you describe the taste of maple syrup on your waffle? How would your partner describe the taste of maple syrup on his/her waffle? Hmmm… and you WERE both talking about maple syrup, right?

Mirrored Mugs

Remember when we were kids… "I'm rubber, you're glue, whatever you say bounces of off me and sticks to you." Well, some things never change. When we look at others, even though we don't see it, oftentimes we're looking at our own reflection. So, at Couples Café we'll be serving all beverages in mirrored mugs to we can be sure we're "reflecting back" what we truly want to see.

Expectation Espresso

Unmet expectations have you all "wound up"? Did you ask your partner whether or not he/she preferred frothy milk on top or not? You didn't? You served it up the way you like it? And you got upset when he/she didn't drink it? When you order Expectation Espresso, you'll feel like you're at Burger King, as long as you tell the server what "your way" is!!!

Priority Pancakes

What's more important to you… the silver dollars or the savory sweet chocolate chip ones? Or, perhaps you'd rather create a combo-platter of both!!! Yeah, that'd be delish, wouldn't it? Just make sure you strike the right balance!!!

Society Club Sandwich

This sandwich is a triple-decker…piled high with layers of Women's Lib, Technology, and the "Me" generation…all stacked between a fluffy, yet changing two-sided "gender role" between each layer. This one's a mouthful!!!.

On-Line Dating Omelets

Has the dating scene left you in a scramble? When the omelet was served, did it look like the picture on the menu? Was it supposed to have black pepper, yet tasted more like cayenne? Perhaps you didn't read the "writing on the menu" closely enough. Perhaps you were just so hungry, it didn't matter enough at the time. This ISP of Love omelet will assure you the right mix of ingredients.

Synchronicity Salad

I was in my store one day - which, coincidentally was named Synchronicity, when a phone call came in about a Life Forum event taking place…they were looking for speakers and wondered if I knew anyone that would be interested. I was just about to say "no" when I suddenly heard myself volunteering. When they asked me what I would talk about, I said "ooh, I know…how 'bout Synchronicity?" I hung up not believing what I had just done; obviously someone else stepped in and offered me up for this. I couldn't help but shake my head and marvel at…well…the Synchronicity.
