Love is a truly beautiful thing. True love is everlasting and rare. You cherish and preserve it. And when you've been through some things in the past, when you find it again, you are even more grateful. However, as you get older, and you get to the age where based on life expectancy, you've lived... Continue Reading →
Friendship breakups – they suck!
I saw this meme last week and it really spoke to me. Some feelings resurfaced. I remembered my best friend from high school. Someone who was like a sister. And someone I thought would be around forever. I still can't explain the exact cause for the fallout. But it happened. And a friend became a... Continue Reading →
Requirements gathering, not just for managing projects, also applies to dating!
Over the last couple of years, in my current job, I've been learning about project management. I've taken courses at work, watched webinars, asked people questions...it's just been non-stop learning lately. Early on I learned the importance of gathering requirements in the early stages of the project. Doing so saves you a ton of... Continue Reading →
Ghosting…that’s what we’re calling it now
During my morning wake up and scroll through Facebook I saw an article about a young woman's first date, that seemed to go well...until she suddenly stopped hearing from the guy. In my day (sounding like I'm an old fossil) we called it the disappearing act, but now it's called ghosting apparently. Yeah, I... Continue Reading →
Unattainable standards?
The past two weeks have been rough 😔. My pastor suddenly passed away, and although I didn't know him well personally, he had an impact on my life and I learned so, so much from him over the years, I just feel an incredible loss! Dealing with a loss, it just makes you think about... Continue Reading →
Un-anniversaries and holidays
Getting divorced is HARD, well hard is an understatement, but chances are you know someone, or you've been through a divorce yourself; so no further explanation needed! Regardless of how/when it happens, you'll NEVER forget what you went through...but when your un-anniversary falls on a holiday, how's that for an in-your-face reminder!!!! I got... Continue Reading →
At what age does a woman become a cougar?
I seriously googled this phrase today! All because I went out with a twenty something this weekend. Thank God I look younger than I actually am, but it often means younger guys approach me thinking we're the same age. Honestly, the men that approach me are either really young, or grandpas! I'm not quite sure I... Continue Reading →
Is it being picky or not willing to settle?
We hear it all the time when you're single. "You're too picky." "What's wrong with you?" But what's wrong with having some standards and not being ok with settling just for the sake of having a man, any piece of a man for that matter. I for one believe in not settling for less than...

Why you don’t answer unknown numbers…could be a guy who calls months after you meet them…for the first time!
So, this just happened. I got a call from an unknown number. It was a guy who says we met and had been talking on the phone a few times. Only, I haven't been talking to a guy whose name was who he said he was. I go on to ask where we met and... Continue Reading →
What I learned from ‘Being Mary Jane’ last week
Not my fav show, but I feel invested since I watched all of season 1, so I'm now watching out of obligation. So, on last week's episode, Mary Jane's "cut buddy" was introduced. Maybe I'm not up on my slang, but I still call it FWB...friends with benefits. Being single, we all have our moments...especially last... Continue Reading →
