Free quiz to determine your dosha, or ayurvedic mind/body type: http://www.whatsyourdosha.com

Q: What else can you tell us about this topic?

A: An exciting new way to look at compatibility and relationships that will inspire people around the world to start asking “What¹s your dosha, baby?”

Quentin Tarantino is a Vata. Sharon Stone is a Pitta. Jennifer Lopez is a Kapha. What does that tell you about these celebrities? If you know about Ayurveda, it tells you a lot! It can even help to predict which celebrity love matches will last, and which will be more tested by life¹s natural challenges.

Thousands of years ago, philosophers and scientists in ancient India devised a system called Ayurveda, or “the science of life,” which explains the nature of everything in the universe. Now, in What’s Your Dosha, Baby? I apply this ancient wisdom to modern-day relationships, offering readers an exciting new way to measure their compatibility with lovers, friends, coworkers, and family and arming them with the insight they need to make all their relationships work.

After taking the quiz to determine one’s personal dosha‹one of three personality types based on physical features and personality traits‹readers can learn how their dosha interacts with the others, their physical and emotional communication styles, instinctual preferences regarding food, travel, lifestyle, and work, fun ways to spice up your sex life and much more. Perfect for those looking to end the squabbling with their mate, resolve a conflict with their boss, or get the man or woman of their dreams to commit, What’s Your Dosha, Baby? will help readers find true happiness and achieve great success in life, love, and relationships.

It wasn’t too long ago that people would strike up a conversation with “What’s your sign?” Before astrology became popular in the 60′s and 70′s we would have had no idea what “sign” was being referred to: stop, yield, no trespassing? Eventually the vernacular of the ancient Greeks became a part of our everyday vocabulary, and today we can grasp the difference between a Capricorn and an Aquarius.

Now it seems everything old is new again! With the rise in popularity of all things Eastern, I’ve found a way for us find love in our lives with Ayurveda. With Ayurveda, we can wade through the dating pool with a lot more information that we can use to make better decisions about who we get involved with, or don¹t get involved with. With just a basic understanding of Ayurveda, we have a short-cut for getting to know each other.

Cherie Carter-Scott, Ph.D., the New York Times bestselling author, agrees. Of Coffey’s book she says: “Applying ancient wisdom to modern-day relationships is beautifully executed by Lissa Coffey in her book, What’s Your Dosha, Baby? She not only shows you what type you are best suited for, she also shows strengths, compatibilities, and potential challenges. Read this before you make any personal relationship commitments!”

Ayurveda can also be used as a tool to deepen a relationship, and to encourage intimacy. Each dosha responds differently to sensual stimuli. Ayurveda has suggestions for various seductive techniques for each dosha. We can get really close to our partners this way.

“What’s your sign, baby?” became the catch-phrase of the 1970′s after Linda Goodman’s “Love Signs” popularized astrology, and I hope that people today will be asking “What¹s your dosha, baby?” and enjoying the many benefits of Ayurveda thanks to her efforts. “Deepak Chopra really started this whole trend, but I truly believe that Ayurveda is the next big thing. If you haven’t heard of it yet, now you have!”

Widows Wear Stilettos…What Now?

Posted by Dan Janal, Your Fearless PR LEADER | May 1st, 2007

From a personal email from Carole Brody Fleet:

It is my genuine delight to announce the release of my first CD, entitled, “Widows Wear Stilettos…What Now?”

The CD is a spoken-word self-help CD, designed to help those who have been touched by widowhood and who need emotional and practical direction, as well as support and encouragement during the very difficult first weeks and months after the loss of their spouse. It also addresses those who have widowed for a longer period of time, but may feel “stuck” in their grief and need help in moving forward.

The CD is designed in conjunction with my books, “Widows Wear Stilettos: A Practical and Emotional Guide for the Young Widow” and “Widows Wear Stilettos: The Answer Book”.

At this time, the CD is available exclusively through the website (www.widowswearstilettos.com) and more information is available at the website. Please do not hesitate to share with your synagogue, your church and any other organizations to which you may belong – and of course, anyone you know who may be dealing with the issues and challenges of widowhood.

There are literally millions of women out there who are in need of this information, but even more importantly, these same women also need to know that they are not alone and that there is help and support available.

A special thanks to all of you who have helped me see this project to fruition and very special thank you’s need to go to: My amazing agent, Dr. Syd Harriet and Agents Ink (who continue to work overtime on my behalf AND have to put up with me!); absolutely everyone at and associated with Janal Communications and PR LEADS (who have helped us get fantastic press and media exposure and bless you Dan Janal for always being so supportive and quick with your help!), the fabulous Joelle Delbourgo and Molly Lyons for their wisdom and their recommend to Janal Communications and PR LEADS; all of the wonderful reporters, journalists, editors and other members of the media with whom I’ve had the privilege of working and who have been so instrumental in helping us reach those in need; my incredible media specialists; and the creative genius behind the best production company on the planet, Penguins 51, my all-around lifesaver, Karen Ronne Tupek (who works tirelessly at the dot-com end of Widows Wear Stilettos and has given up sleeping to do so).

Cheers to everyone!
