What are your questions?

Good morning, bloggers!

I hope the storm didn't mess you up too bad last night, and hopefully it provided an opportunity for you to snuggle up inside with hot chocolate and a movie with your loved one. That was my plan, at least, until duty called, and I stayed at work until 10 p.m.

Next week, I will be interviewing Michelle McKinney Hammond, a relationship coach, and author of numerous books about love. I don't know about you, but I have never heard of a relationship coach, so when I heard that this opportunity was available, I thought it would be perfect for the blog.

Since Roxy and I like to consider this blog a community, I wanted to ask you all what questions you have for Michelle. They can be about anything at all related to dating or relationships. Leave your questions in the comment section below before midnight on Monday, so I can ask your questions (as well as some of my own).

Here's a press release, written by Pure Publicity, I received about Michelle, so you can have a better idea of what we're talking about:

Relationship coach Michelle McKinney Hammond has counseled thousands of women and knows even the most independent women desire the healthy attention of men. She is the author of over twenty self-empowerment books that have sold millions worldwide. In her brand new release The Sassy Girl’s Checklist for Living, Loving and Overcoming (Harvest House, February 2007), she provides women simple principles and a personal checklist that will help them discover a healthy love life:

Stop living on the Defense - “Women need to stop taking things so personally. When you face a relational conflict it could be another person’s reacting to a build up of other stressful experiences.”

Control Your Man-Power – “We know we have the power to influence the way a man views other women…chances are if a man doesn’t trust women you can thank another woman for that.”

Give Your Approval – “Men live for the approval from the woman they love…a disrespectful woman will cause him to direct his attention to another woman who will give him affirmation.”

Learn to Cook – “Conversation combined with a meal prepared by a woman’s hands will bring intimacy to a relationship… dining together provides a setting for support and uninhibited conversation.”

Cover Your Man – “Discretion is learned and a woman who does not expose other people’s secrets will be viewed as loyal and trustworthy.”

Resilience Equals Respect – “A woman can choose to let her problems make her bitter or better…when she is able to endure and bounce back from difficult circumstances, then she will quickly earn the respect of others.”

Ask Questions Before Giving Advice – “Women need to wait before they give advice and ask questions so their man can clearly assess his situation and make his own healthy conclusion.”

Live in Balance – “Women need to prioritize their time and learn when to put aside their job, other commitments or busy schedule, and balance the attention she gives her man, her family, her friends and her community.”

I can't wait to read some of your questions!
