Last Friday, I was bored bored bored at work, while waiting for one last interviewee to arrive, so I killed 20 minutes reading the "missed connections" board on craigslist. This is where posters (mostly guys it seems) post to women out there who they wanted to say hi to but just couldn't muster up the courage. It's been great reading these posts. It made me realize that you could be out there "wowing" 10-20 guys a day and not even know it!
That reminded me of a message Oprah gave once about keeping your light shining. I can't remember her exact words, but it went something like this:
Keep your head up, your smile bright and your light on! There are men out there looking for you. If you walk around with the lights off (head down, no eye contact, no smile, no signal that it's ok to approach)...men won't see you... but if your light is shining bright you will attract them like moths to a flame.
It occurred to me that I am mostly always shining...I smile at almost every guy that makes eye contact with me. They always smile back...sometimes we'll exchange hellos...I've always been a big flirt, and I think flirts naturally keep their lights on, while others have to work a little harder at... but anyway...the lesson is... if you want to be seen, keep your light shining gals! :)

THANK YOU!!
I know this is true. And a good reminder for all of us!
