How Do YOU Like Your Eggs?

A good question that all women should ask themselves.

It never ceases to amaze me how little nuances in movies and books can actually awaken one to an important life lesson.  It happens to me all the time.  Are you absorbing the “Life Lessons” that mass media is trying to communicate to you?

Do you actually remember the scene from the movie “Runaway Bride” starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere?

He pressed her to figure out what her preference was for the style of eggs she enjoyed eating.  It seems that Julia’s character made whatever her current love interests favorites were her own favorites, rather than allowing her own tastes to develop.

Every time Julia’s character fell in love, she lost herself in the shadow of the male that she was interested in, mimicking his tastes and interests rather than developing and sharing her own.

I call these types of women “Shadow Women”.

I know quite a few.

Here is an example.

I have a good friend, let’s call her Rachel.

Rachel is a very pretty and vivacious thirty-one year old, divorced, mother of three.

Rachel is a serial monogamist, quite adept at making love out of nothing at all.

She chooses her target, (man), and quite invisibly stalks him and becomes a part of his world (and his significant other), without the male really taking notice.  She is a Cancer Woman with the Moon in Scorpio, very smooth operator who appears quite innocent.

Anyway here is how she “works it”.
