The Top 6 Things You Can Do to Survive the Holidays When You’re Single

9 Comments

A beautiful woman is sad because she's spending the holidays alone.
I know what it's like to be alone during the holidays.

I remember how excited I would be if I met someone who showed some real relationship potential in the months or even weeks leading up to the holiday season.

Finally! This Christmas I might actually be a part of a relationship - a couple!

I might actually have someone to show up with me for the office holiday party and family Christmas gathering! Someone to exchange romantic gifts with and to snuggle with in the cold nights; to kiss under the mistletoe.

And the best part was that I’d have someone to spend New Year’s Eve with – it wouldn’t just be another year with me babysitting my nephews so my sister and her husband could celebrate their togetherness (as much as I loved being Auntie Jane, seriously - they could find another babysitter for one night!)

But most years the timing didn’t work out and I was, once again, alone for the holidays.Continue Reading

The "A" word - Alone

39 Comments

A beautiful woman sits on the ground feeling alone in her relationship.
Haven’t you ever felt awfully alone when you’re actually in a relationship with the wrong guy?

Sometimes, if we look at the reasons we stay in a relationship that isn't working, we find that it’s all about the A word.

Alone.

If we’re really honest with ourselves, I think we’d find that much of the stuff we allow in our relationships is because we’re afraid of being alone. As in, without a guy.

I think a lot of us feel that way even if we don’t want to admit it.

We don’t want to be alone. Whether it’s our culture that tells us we need to be with someone, be part of a couple to be OK, or whether it’s our own internalized belief system, we can go to great lengths to make sure we’re with someone, even if he’s not the one for us.

Because at least he’s someone.

And if he’s someone and we’re with him, than we’re not alone.Continue Reading

The Gift of a Broken Heart

45 Comments

A beautiful gift signifying the gift of a broken heart.
About all that heartbreak. It’s a gift. Really.

I was telling a friend about this blog today, and explaining why I’m so passionate about wanting to help spare my single girlfriends out there from so much of the heartbreak I went through, when I realized something.  About all that heartbreak.

It’s a gift.

Any time we experience a broken heart over someone who didn’t turn out to love us the way we loved them; any time we’re forced to face the reality of unrequited love; any time we’re left watching someone walk away from us, realizing we’re on our own again.  It’s a gift to be grateful for.

Really.Continue Reading
