I met guy, we got to chatting.  I found myself liking him.  Consequently, I instantly felt I was in trouble. I was informed enough about the do's and don'ts of dating to understand that if I were to begin showing interest, as I like to do when I'm—well—interested, ther...

Sometimes opposites really do attract. I mean, imagine two introverts at a frat party. I bet your brain transitions to them being alone in a dorm room reading a book, or snuggled up under a blanket to watch a favorite movie. How about two Type-A's gone camping?  You...

My friend split with her boyfriend and I was also single, although she had gotten back on the proverbial horse first. I went to visit her for some healing vibes and we sat outdoors, drank tea and reminisced about the good ol’ days when we felt people were nicer, sweete...

Every gal probably knows the guy I know. He's the guy who talks in flirts. Like when I say I'm off to poetry class, he tells me to write a poem for him. When I ask him about his broken arm, he's ready with a Sharpie for me to sign his cast,  but after I do, tells me I...

When I first met Grace, she and I shared many similarities and we got along well, so looking back it's easy for me to see how we became instant friends, despite our differences of opinion when it came to views on lifelong partnerships. However, going out as a single g...

I almost stopped writing my blog. Well, honestly, I did halt for a while, but I bounced back. During that time, however, I wondered if I'd ever blog again. Wondered if I should delete the account I've worked so hard to create, change its name, or do something else alto...

Just before and immediately after the passing of my husband, I was surrounded by birds. There were symbols of birds, metaphorical birds, and also real, feathered ones that made homes in unexpected places. While the bird signs have been less these days, I still have a...
