The Empty Envelope
Julie Jordan Scott
As I sifted through my mail, I saw the envelope. It was one of those padded envelopes that usually hold books or audiotapes. I knew it would probably arrive that day, because in my Prospering Womens group our coach, Christen, mentioned she had sent them winging on their way to each of us.

Creating False Expectations For Clients
By far every agency on the internet claims to be the one which does the most to find the ideal partner for men.

Agencies claim they are presenting “marriage minded women” who are keen to marry foreign men. This creates the impression that most women in Russia will eagerly marry a man just because he is foreign and available. These same websites will further go on to assure the man that the woman is not marrying him for his money or a better life.
