Life and Other Things You Can’t Control

Last Wednesday I was feeling great. The job was stressful, but one I loved, and while I know I was being paid less than many of my colleagues, I really felt blessed by it. In the midst of a pandemic, making six figures from home is a gift from the Universe. Particularly as I have […]

A Lesson in Organic Attraction and Chemistry

Before I begin, I’d like to say that I discussed this post with the person I am writing about. You see, a long time ago I learned that I had the right to share details about my own emotions. My private thoughts, experiences, misconceptions, and perceptions as they happened. I am an open person, and […]

Why You Should Try Social Groups for Singles on Facebook

Here I am, alone in Texas. Aside from my step-son’s mom, who was and always is a close friend I cherish, and one other friend in Fort Worth, I had no one. My family and lifelong friends live in Toronto Canada. And most of the people I knew were my former husband’s family. Post-divorce, there […]

Having a Female Tribe Matters

It’s funny the things you tell yourself when you have dwelled in a place of insecurity for a long time. We all have narratives or ‘stories’ we like to play over and over again. One of my most prevalent stories is that women don’t like me. I’ve been thinking about the context of that story […]

Ending The Delusion About Male Friendships

When I was a kid, my best friend was my cousin Ben. You see, we were a year apart. I was the older one. And our families did everything together. We congregated at my grandfather’s 50-acre farm about one hour north of Toronto. Whenever we could. Which was often more than twice a month. I […]

5 Reasons Why ‘Sick and Single’ Sucks

I co-habited with the former spousal unit for over seven years. And during that time, normal stuff happens. The cold or influenza strikes. And you have the advantage of living with someone who can, at the very least, make you some soup. Check for a pulse. Oh sure, I know married people who crave the […]

Unleashing the Happy Single Vibe

I like being outside as much as possible. It is little wonder that, while some people complain about walking their dogs, I don’t. I consider it a beautiful part of my day. Sure, sometimes it’s a little rushed. And boy does it suck when it is raining. I was used to having a backyard and […]

Getting a Social Life (Again)

New year resolutions. I always found them a little odd. Like, you go to bed on the 31st and with the turn of the hands of time, you wake up someone different? I’m not jaded, I just think I understand human nature a little. Bad habits (and good ones) are part of your character. Your […]
