April Meeting Notes: Claire Andrea Zammit on "Calling in The One"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The April meeting was hosted by guest speaker Claire Andrea Zammit at the Rosewood Center. Claire spoke to Sock Club about "Calling in The One", a book by her writing partner Katherine Woodward Thomas. Katherine transformed herself from dating unavailable men and being depressed to being married with a child at 41. She and Katherine strive in their work to make this transformation easy and fun. They also teach a course about feminine energy. They believe that women can be ambivalent about their feminine energy which is about being as opposed to masculine energy which is about doing. This reminds me of my friend who says that she knows she must act like a man at work, but when she gets home, she drops the act and is a woman around her boyfriend.
Claire shared her personal story of calling in The One. In 2005, she was in a relationship which felt average, like a 7. After 3 years, she felt deep anxiety and sought a way out. She shifted her beliefs through powerful statements that re-anchored her identity. She moved from false identities such as feeling rejected by men to true ones. By shifting her beliefs, she shifted her relationship and left the man she was living with. Then through friends she met Craig whom she will be married to this month. Miraculously even before she met him, she read an article that he'd written and felt that he was The One. Plus she states he's off the scale, an 11 of out 10!
While dating, Claire made room for two in her life by renting a bigger apartment. Though she was a single woman, she behaved as though she was in a relationship. It's like preparing a nursery for a baby on the way!
To learn more from Katherine herself, please listen to the inspirational radio interviews on her website.

Out and About: Spicy Salsa Night Coming Soon!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Sock Club member A e-mailed me about salsa, I thought she needed a recipe. Oops!
She actually wants to get a group together to salsa so if you know of a spicy, not mild, place to do just that let us know and we'll set up a date and time. I expect that L, dancing queen, knows where to go and exactly what shoes to wear.
