{Editor’s letter}Dear Readers,

My editor’s letter this month is short and sweet.

The reason is because I just want to thank and

acknowledge couple people who have helped

MSM.

I want to start by thanking Anya, last

month’s cover girl. She really came through for

MSM at the cover model search. Anya worked

out a great location for the search, Mantra and

she helped with getting a lot of people to sign up

during the search. Thanks Anya.

The second person that I want to thank is very

important to me and to MSM, our very dear

writer, Janelle Powers. Ms. Powers has so far

been a huge cheerleader for MSM and is working

on helping us succeed. Thank you so very much

Janelle. Also, thanks to all the readers who are

still supporting MSM.

Best,

Marie Stuart Noel

The Column

Is it Better to Settle or Set Limits?

Excitement, butterflies and passion: feelings we tend to experience after meeting a new

fling/hope to be lover. There are times however when those lustful feelings run parallel

with uncertainty, confusion and doubt. If the whole purpose of dating is to figure out

whether or not there is compatibility, what do we do when “love at first site” is replaced

with “we’ll see what happens”? Do we move on, in hopes to find “true love” or do we

hold on to what we have and pray that it forms into what we want? When it comes dating,

where do we draw the line between settling and setting limits?

After a conversation with my roommate about nine failed attempts at finding love in

2009, I wondered, had I been searching for true love or true perfection? That night I

made some calls and shortly afterwards made my way into the city, this time with a new

found perspective of what I was looking for. Just as my crew and I had settled into our

most frequent night spot, my favorite song and my favorite beer encouraged a meeting

between me and my soon to be favorite DJ. A corona promotion set up right next to the

DJ booth provided a perfect opportunity for me to set up a date. One hour later, after

faking interest in a conversation of old school hip hop, instead of requesting a song, I

suggested drinks and dinner. A quick “yes” and a short locking of lips sealed the deal, but

just as quickly I felt as if I made a mistake. There were no butterflies, no sparks,

no….nothing. Was my mind setting limits around finding the right one or was it time for

me to settle for the one right in front of me, and see what happens?

Across town and a little to the north, my roommate Erin was about to set some limits of

her own. She and her chef lover had spent the last four months spending a majority of

their time together and rarely spending a night alone. Unfortunately, the chef’s inability

to place a label on their relationship was stirring the pot. Finally after meeting his family,

receiving invites to friends’ barbecues and engaging in a daily routine of carting his

catering ass to work each morning, Erin decided that she could no longer settle for a

labeless relationship and wanted a definite answer as to where things were headed. In the

end the relationship ended, but Erin quickly realized that it was better to have set limits

than settle for a chef with a sour batch of relationship perspective.

It had been two weeks and a half of dozen dates later and the DJ and I continued to mix it

up. There were fabulous dinners, numerous cocktails and even a play in disguise.

Unfortunately as time went on, the spark began to fade and I was beginning to feel as if I

was settling for a boring remix rather than a love song. Then one night, while walking

through the commons with my dimly lit DJ, I recognized a familiar face. It was an ex of

mine who although the passion was there when we were together, his passion for partying

would override commitment. Remembering the feelings I had for my ex made me realize

the current feelings I had for the DJ were not strong enough to continue playing.

Needless to say, I would request nothing more from the DJ after that night. On the ride

home I came to the realization that sometimes we may be too quick to write someone off,

so it’s important to give it chance. In the same sense, it’s better to set limits around what

we want rather than settle for something lesser in what we have.

Massachusetts, where she quickly rose to become not just a dancer, but assistant director.

Soon after, in late 2006, Rosa became a founding member of Miss El Salvador MA, USA, pageant organized

by Danza Nahuatl. She is currently the event coordinator and instructor and uses her pageantry experience

to mentor aspiring queens.

Working with the pageant has allowed her to network and work with the Latino community in many ways

June 21st is the first day of Summer. One thing I love about the summer time is the food, especially

seafood. Chef Eric Thompson of Trattioria 89 Centrale located in Milford, MA has put together his recipe

Written by a woman, for women

Cut him

looseBy Janelle Powers

How many times has this happened to you?

You’re in a relationship and things seem to be going

really well when all of a sudden you start noticing little

things about your partner that stop you dead in your

tracks. I am sure you know what I mean, the little

things that didn’t seem like such a big deal in the

beginning but now seem like deal breakers. He makes

noise when he chews, she snores like a lumberjack,

he’s cheap, and she’s vain. All these things and many,

many more can either make or break a relationship.

The question then becomes when to cut him loose?

If you’re really looking for a long time commitment

then you may want to ask yourself; how much can I

deal with, and is this person the one I really want to be

with? You have to say as a good friend of mine says

“you must look at the relationship globally, take

emotion out of the equation.” Now I am not saying

that love doesn’t matter, it always matters but when

you’re looking for someone to spend the rest of your

life with you must look at the big picture. Love is not

all you need and indeed in the wrong hands can wreak

havoc in your life. Do you have the same goals; do

you have the same values? Are finances an issue and is

their personality compatible with your own. These are

all questions you must ask yourself when looking for a

partner. Your partner should bring out the best in you

not the worst.

My most important guideline for finding an ideal lover

and partner is happiness. Do they make you happy or

do they drive you crazy and not it that good way. We

should never short change ourselves, of that I am sure

and no matter how impossible it seems to find “the

proverbial one” don’t give up and don’t settle for

content. Happiness is something everyone should

strive for. You can’t be happy with everything in your

life and you can’t be happy all the time but as long as

you’re trying life will be a lot more pleasant. Love is

not perfect or predictable, it cannot be mapped out or

planned but it is essential to know what you’re looking

for in order to find it.

GEMINI

May 21-June 21

You're not known for your follow-through, and right

now something (or someone) in the romantic realm is

falling through the cracks. Make the calls, send the

emails -- get caught up.

CANCER

June 22-July 22

The road to romance can't always be smooth, and

right now it's distinctly bumpy. Drive defensively and

keep going -- you can avoid the biggest potholes

without slowing down.

LEO

July 23-August 22

When you feel good, you look good -- even if your

hair's a mess and you're just at the grocery store.

Have fun with every little thing you do (it won't be

hard), and keep your eyes and your heart open.

VIRGO

August 23-September 22

Could your personal philosophy of love use an

update? Take a casual conversation to a more deep

and meaningful place, and listen carefully for

something your world view's been missing.

LIBRA

September 23-October 22

Your beautiful balancing act is admired far and wide;

don't be surprised if you're hounded by rabid fans and

autograph-seekers. Bestow your attention only on the

most worthy.

SCORPIO

October 23 - November 21

They say that patience is a virtue, but you've never

really quite believed it. If you wait a little, though,

something that's eluding you will come quicker than

if you try to chase it down.

SAGITTARIUS

November 22-December 21

A romantic decision needs to be made, but don't rush

it. You're in a thoughtful, analytical mode, so mull it

over and talk it over with a friend. (Don't be surprised

if they ask for some love advice from you, too.)

CAPRICORN

December 22-January 19

If your recent romantic plans aren't going anywhere,

consider a clean-slate approach. The stars say that

what you start now will go further and faster than

what you've been slogging away on.

AQUARIUS

January 20-February 18

Keep working on getting those personal issues

squared away, but don't be too hard on yourself.

Expect to be loved for who you are, and give yourself

the same acceptance you give others.

PISCES

February 19-March 20

You're busy trying to balance your romantic matters,

but it doesn't always work like that. When in doubt,

put out more sweetness than you're taking in -- your

love karma will thank you.

ARIES

March 21-April 19

Wanna get something started? No time like the

present, especially when the stars are so much in your

favor. Even a little effort (and daring) in the realm of

romance pays off big-time now.

TAURUS

April 20-May 20

Clear your calendar of anything that sounds like a

drag and put yourself first. Sometimes it's not about

pursuit or what you're lacking, but relaxing and what

you've got. Yay!
