Corri,
Just bumping this back up. I'm still trying to sort myself out here. About all I've been able to establish so far is that I seem to grasp the book concept, but trying to apply it to myself is damned HARD. I'm stepping back a little to try to identify my emotions a bit better, as I seem to be having some trouble recognizing them. Anyway, I haven't abandoned the workshop, just trying to not be an engineer here. I am an engineer (see, I can do the I am thing ), but that gets big time in the way of figuring out this attractiveness/R stuff.

On the attractiveness front, I have done a few of the things you mentioned to others like making eye contact, noticing peoples reactions a bit more, and yes, I am finding that I am indeed attractive. That eye contact and smile thing is so cool, and it seems to giving me some more confidence as well.

In the mean time, MrsGGB got a letter today from the radiologist that did her mammogram asking her to come back in for another appointment. They didn't find anything, but said she's got dense breasts. This is the first Mammogram she's had since 2001. Anyway, she's flipping out b/c there is a history of breast cancer in her family. From what I've been able to gather, it is just a routine closer look and most likely nothing to worry about. That on top of cub scouts starting back up with all the recruitment rallies, school parents meetings, and S17's shenanigans, well she's tapped out. I tried to validate her feelings, but it just seemed to make things worse (not getting the hang of this validating thing). I'm not going to let her drag me into her pit though, best thing for me to do is acknowledge the pit but stay the heck out of it I guess.

Anyway, just journalling and letting you know I haven't lost interest or fallen off the face of the earth. Hopefully, you are still game as well.
