Happy Pride! This is the time where thousands of individuals come from all over to join in Chicago's Pride Celebrations. It's amazing to me how few people are aware that there are actually TWO Pride celebrations in Chicago; the Pride Celebration the last weekend in June which hosts the Gay Parade and Black Pride which is held over the July 4th holiday.

Thousands of people will be coming to town to join in the festivities; to meet new and exciting people and even to scout the party scene for new dating prospects. These encounters can either lead to long-lasting friendships; dating situations; or possible relationships. The important thing to remember on the dating scene is that every dating situation you experience will NOT always turn into a potential relationship. How will you know how to tell the difference? How can you enter into that new dating situation and not give too much of yourself? What should you expect if anything? Would you like to learn about the different phases of dating and what to consider in each one? Then you will definitely want to get a copy of my latest release, The 5 Phases of Dating … Without Losing Sight of Your Purrfectly Authentic? Self.

Here is a quote taken from the back cover of my latest book release written by Philippe Matthews, Host of the Philippe Matthews Show ( www.thePMshow.com ) :

'The relationship powerhouse has done it again! Whether you are just entering the dating arena, currently in a relationship or trying to bring clarity and understanding into your marriage you will definitely benefit from The 5 Phases of Dating.'

Would you like to know what the 5 Phases are? Would you like a sneak peak as to the contents of the book? Log on to the Web site, click on the image and then click on content information and to read the preface. Where can you get a copy? What will it cost you? When it was released? The book's debut was last month during the Printer's Row Book Fair. It will be available only through my Web site www.purrfectharmonyinc.com and at my scheduled guest appearances. In honor of Pride through July 10, if you log on to the website and sign up for the monthly newsletter, you may purchase the book for $10 ( $5 off the retail price ) by clicking on the image on the homepage.

This book is written from a 'straight-to-the-point' perspective. It is guaranteed to upset some and enlighten and intrigue others. Throughout the remainder of the year, I will be facilitating workshops at several different locations to discuss my dating philosophy, The 5 Phases of Dating ... , and would love to have you come out to discuss and/or debate the points brought up in this book. It's very important to remain true to yourself in any situation, dating situations included. Here is an opportunity to challenge yourself and your concepts about dating for the price of a good salad.

If you would like to be kept abreast of the schedule for upcoming workshops and guest appearances, be sure to sign up for the free monthly newsletter on the www.purrfectharmonyinc.com home page. On July 2nd, I will be signing copies of my latest release; The 5 Phases of Dating…Without Losing Sight of Your Purrfectly Authentic? Self at the Lipstick and Lace Party at the Park West. Please stop by the table to say hello and/or to pick up your copy.

As always, Live Your Life Purrfectly Authentic.
