The 5 People You Spend The Most Time With
Jim Rohn once said, “you are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with.” We will forgive Jim for ending a sentence with a preposition. I otherwise have much to say about how this applies to everything.
All of life and even the future of society boils down to the company we keep. If those people aren’t reflecting the life you want to be living or even the society in which you want to be living, you need to surround yourself with better people. The challenge is, how do you meet them?
Last year, I conducted a “Find Your Tribe Workshop.” It was broken down into 3 days of learning primarily how to feel more worthy and deserving of filling our lives with better people, presuming that becoming a better person, shedding (in a manner of speaking) the dead weight of people you no longer tolerate and holding one’s self to higher standards in social situations would attract more of the right type of people.
What if there’s more? What if there is a way to actually MEET better people in person?
My guest today is Rose Pinochet. She had been struggling with this question herself in the realm of dating, so she decided to host events to bring awesome people together. And the thing is (and I say this in Chapter 7 of my book) the person at the event may not be your exact person, but if they are your caliber of person (male or female), networking with people who share similar values is how you will eventually get introduced to the right person.
Rose has begun to branch out with this concept, not just introducing people with conservative values but also teaching classes that help those people build strong communities together.
If all this sounds as exciting to you as it does to me as a parent, hoping my kids get in with the right kind of people, watch our show today as Rose and I discuss all kinds of landmines in the realm of dating and meeting today that singles are up against, and the ways we think might help you to circumnavigate them.
Without further adieu, please watch the latest Well Being Wednesday Show.
The Underground Cotillion is not a new idea, but it's somewhat new to the right. For years, the right has been duped into tolerating the left, intermingling values and allowing this slippery slope to erode our relationships and our communities through devaluing what we hold most dear and ultimately demoralizing us.
Rose Pinochet is bringing back the "arranged marriage." Now, we aren't setting your kids up with the exact person, per say, but we are creating events that empower, enrich and help single people who share right leaning values to find others and interact in person.
Meet Rose Pinochet, a dynamic visionary with an unwavering passion for weaving connections and fostering growth. As the ingenious mind behind The Underground Cotillion and the creative force driving the stamp of Culture, Rose has earned her stripes as a process expert. Armed with an enchanting blend of cultural flair, social insight, and a knack for unraveling intricate social patterns, she's set to revolutionize the right wing landscape. With a dash of whimsy and a penchant for understanding life's complex tapestry, Rose's journey promises to be an exhilarating dance.

What’s In My Cup
For the past 12 days or so, since the new moon, I have been using a blend of 3 flower essences to promote productivity and efficiency, security and to have hope.
Flower essences are a little woo but if you’ve given your child the Rescue Remedy or used it yourself in an acute crisis situation, you likely understand how much flower power these remedies really have.
The three I use each day in a glass of water that I sip throughout the day are: Elm, Aspen and Gorse.* These are of course the Bach Flower Essences.
Perhaps, they will also uplift you through these challenging times!

The community-creation aspect of home/unschooling has been, for me, the primary job I perform as a parent. At 17+, my elder son *does not know any girls!* Not literally; he knows a few, but there is no circle of eligible girls for dating, and it really bums his out. Add in his criteria for a mate, and the options get *really* thin. I know we will move (although he will be launched at that point) in the next several years, and, this time, I NEED to know there is a critical mass of people who share my values in the general area. I have good and real friends and have been so grateful to see the seeds of more in some of our online communities, but I want to make sure that I have that second derivative of a we-might-not-be-besties-but-you-won’t-put-me-in-a-boxcar bubble when I enter the next stage of my life.
