Hey Everybody,
I’m on the air Monday and Tuesday from coast to coast, sharing excerpts from the book and my take on Ali Fedotowsky, The Bachelorette.
Rumors have been hovering for a while that Ali will not choose anyone at all and stay single. That is my prediction as well. There are several reasons in my book, “Single 101: 101 Reasons to Celebrate Being Single” that are relevant to the current bachelorette, but let’s just consider five of them:
# 63- You’re Not Desperate to Find A Mate- what is she doing on these reality shows? Does someone as lovely as Ali need to take this route to find a husband?
#57- You Don’t Have to Be in A Relationship to Feel Complete- we don’t live in a couple’s world. Those who believe that we do are delirious.
#7- No More Broken Hearts- Ali has had her heart broken enough throughout both the Bachelor and Bachelorette experiences.
#74- No Drama- especially after Justin and Frank. By the way, Justin may become the first contestant to be sued by ABC producers for breaking his confidentiality agreement.
#24- You Don’t Have to Be Afraid to Go it Alone- Ali appears to have it all together and definitely has the courage to survive on her own.
Wild Crazy Reasons Why Ali should stay single for a while longer:
#80- You Can Lick the Spoon
#14- Farting is Less Embarrassing
#12- No Toilet Lid Issues
#17- You Are the Keeper of the Remote
#28- You Know Where the Soap has Been
Throughout the season, Ali would mention or admit that she wasn’t sure if she was ready for marriage, primarily due to her doubts about the potential bachelors in the competition. Intuitively, Ali sensed that Frank would disappoint her.
Roberto Martinez- many women are threatened by a gorgeous, to die for type of guy like Roberto, fearful of infidelity and abandonment issues.
Chris Lambton- may be the one that Ali truly felt secure with, but is that enough to convince herself that she’s in love with him and ready to be his wife?
The show has been on long enough for all to realize that not everyone is in it for love, just self-promotion. Even Ty who came close to the finals has a music career in Nashville. No one has pointed out yet where he was really coming from.
With all of that said, there is a new twist, as the new promos for the show that began airing last Thursday, unveil a potential problem with both bachelors, who appear to be apprehensive and not ready for engagement, let alone marriage.
Join me on the air live Monday morning, August 2nd with Monty Jett on 107.9FM The Coast, WLOW Radio during the 8 o’clock hour. Later that day, I’ll do a pre-taped interview with Don Bleu and co-host Trish of Don Bleu in the Morning on Clear Channel’s Star 101.3FM in San Francisco. Our interview will air on Tuesday morning after we’ve all seen The Bachelorette Finale and the “Final Rose” segment.
Thanks so much to Monty, Don and Trish for the dish! Check out these links:

Keeping Your Body Healthy and Your Mind Sharp
Getting my daily fill of the New York Daily News this morning, I came across the following article published by Reuters:
“Researchers find link between weight gain and loss of mental skills”.
It’s focus was primarily on older women who they claim should maintain a low weight to keep their reasoning, memory and over-all mental skills high. According to Dr. Diana Kerwin of Northwestern University in Chicago, she and her research team found that obesity in and of itself is “an independent risk factor for cognitive performance”. Kerwin also stated, "Even if you do have normal blood pressure and you're not diabetic, it still should be something that's looked at as an independent risk factor for your brain health."
This reminded me of the “Nun Study”, where researchers gathered long-term data on over 600 nuns living in Minnesota. They found that 21 percent of the participants had lesions and plaques in their brains, which are key markings of memory disorders such as Alzheimer’s Disease. However, they lived their lives with no outward signs of Alzheimer’s or dementia. They also discovered that these nuns had happier and more positive outlooks on life, were better linguistics and had better dietary and exercise habits.
Now I'd like to see the same research conducted on obese men and aging priests. In the meantime, lay low on those potato chips and sharpen your mind by eating healthy, staying active and empower yourself, focusing on your well-being.

Summer Sizzles and the Book is Hot
The Single 101 Nation is hot and getting hotter with the summer temps on the rise. I want to send a shout out to everyone in Kansas City and thank dating expert and columnist Pamela E. Spencer for her review. Just click on the link to Kiss and Tell-Single 101- http://www.inkkc.com/node/22144
This week we also want to thank Barnes and Noble for their add. You can purchase a copy of "Single 101: 101 Reasons to Celebrate Being Single" from their online catalog at http://www.barnesandnoble.com/
If you live in Central Ohio, join us for any of my upcoming book signing events during August and September. Paragraphs Book Store in Mount Vernon, The Westerville Library in Westerville and The Licking County Library in Newark are just a few stops along the way. Visit http://www.songsforcharliemusic.com/ and click on "Touring Schedule" for all the details.
As Pamela writes in her Kiss and Tell review of Single 101, summertime is usually for lovers, strolling through a park, eating ice cream and date nights at the movies, but it's also a great season for singletons. For the Single 101 Nation, summer is a time for peace and quiet, catching up on a good book you've been waiting to read while relaxing in your backyard hammock. Since the AC is cranked high right now, it's wonderful to be the master of the thermostadt!
The list goes on- ice cream ready for you and you alone in your freezer, hanging around the house wearing next to nothing or nothing at all, heading to a travel destination of your choice, taking a summer class and getting ahead before the fall semester or joining me for a Single 101-one-woman show. I'll save you a seat in the Single 101 Nation section!
When you think of summer, what's the best part of living the single lifestyle to you? Add your comment below, stay cool and enjoy this wonderful summer!
