POLLYTALK FROM NEW
YORK

Hey There!!! Now's Your Chance, It's Leap Year
There's many a gal waiting for a proposal, but wait no more
my darlin' because with one more extra day on February 29th,
to be sure, this is the quintessential Leap Year!!!
Legend says that during Leap Year gals have the advantage . So now's your chance to strike up a proposal
and ask the dream man of your life, "to be your wife," oops I meant "your mate," and it's perfectly okay to do so.
So why wait it out any
longer. Go for it!!!
Now about my slip up on "be your wife." That gives me pause to reflect because heavens us gals do need a
wife these days to help us multi-task in a myriad of responsibilities, which pile on even more with marriage.
Now I know that there are gals who have plenty of suitors and then there are gals who just don't have a beau
in sight. Not to worry. Just be grateful you're not living in a Jane Austen novel but take heed from some of the
lessons there in. From Pride & Prejudice, can't we all agree that in our repertoire of men we all know or have
known a dark swarthy Darcy type. If this is your choice remember the adage "Be careful what you wish for,"
because breaking down the male barriers of arrogance and indifference takes some clever manipulation of
character and female intuition. Of course, unlike the Austen females, nowadays women are better educated
and have asserted themselves into career positions which give them incredible freedom to actually do without
a man, but can they really? Coco Chanel, the great Parisian couturier and celebrated lover of rich and powerful
men said it all, "What is a woman without love, without a man!!!" She may be right, which brings me to a very
important point of discussion. As my mother once said to me, "What do you want to wind up all by yourself?"
Now thank goodness for moms prodding us on to remember that marriage is the great end all. However, even if
Jane Austen sent us the most perfect man to propose to this leap year I'd hear one of our sisters out there say,
"But I'm not attracted to him." Heh, ho, I see it all the time, some women just can't control themselves and go for
lust. It takes over and disappointment eventually creeps into the relationship, reality sets in and bam it's over.
You've heard about the fatal attraction syndrome, well you really don't want to go there either, do you?
So what's a gal supposed to do?
you ask. Compromise!!! That's right,
it works all the time for an amour de
coeur. The man you may have thought less than perfect, the one who is a steady suitor and not just "An
ordinary Bill," as the song goes, is your best bet. Clearly you've got to really want to add someone special in
your life, call the liaison what you will a "significant other" or by any other name will do.
Leap Year let's you plunge right in and take the initiative to say "Let's do it, let's fall in love." Be happy, be
snappy and get with it!!!

That's the first part of making it happen. The phrase "Dont' dream it, be it " isn't an original thought of
mine. It's a quote from the Rocky Horror Picture Show, a late 70's RKO Production. Towards the end of the
movie, the cast is transformed from up tight individuals each with their own unique hang-up, to more liberal
accepting of "themselves" sharing, caring, even daring one of a kind entities, living and breathing what they
actually think and feel. What a sigh of relief one can make when you can be you and not a stuffed shirt
version of you hiding behind a veil succumbing to conformity. I admit that society does require conformity, but
not to the degree it did a hundred years ago. It's enough to forego conformity as long as you replace it with
consistency. Ever meet someone at work that is totally different in a social setting? That's because they
haven't been able to find the right balance between conformity and consistency during the 9 to 5 part of their
life. It's about being "real" and standing by who you really are. If someone doesn't like you at work, chances
are there won't be much opportunity to socialize with them after hours. There are however, those chance
social functions where you are close with one coworker and they invite another coworker to a party, and the
words; "I had no idea you were this cool outside of work..." are said about that person.
Anyway, this is what is called making it happen. You spend about one third of your life "on the job" and
some as much as another 1/16 of your day just commuting to and from work. So how important do you think
it is to be happy at work? Now imagine not only being happy at work, but being happy about who you are at
work? It is so important to be in a job that allows you to be you. Any other position would require you to be
some else for almost one third of your life. If you count the time you spend sleeping, your job divides who you
are literally in half. So make it happen. Start by being you at your job, and if you can't be you there, then find
a job where you can be you. Make it happen... take a chance... be you and bring your best fantasy to life in
the process.

Make It Happen... "don't dream it, be it!"
by Andrew Perretti
There's no better time than the present to act out what
you've been fantasizing about in the past. We all fantasize.
Men, women, young and old all day dream about what it would
be like to do this, or that. The this and thats vary according to
each individual, but nevertheless, there's a lot of this and
that's out there that need to materialize, manifest, become
reality. Turning a dream into reality isn't very hard to do. It
takes some practice, but if you don't actually take the first step,
it will remain just a thought and never materialize.
