Finding your YOU that leads to TWO

Something from The Inspiration Box

A beautiful woman is in a field with her arms outstretched and her face to the sky, feeling inspired by love.
I hope this gives you a bit of inspiration today.

Here’s one of my favorite poems that I've found inspiration in many times over the years.

This one I had on a print hanging on my wall when I was in my twenties; it’s now very tattered and worn from taking it down off the wall and hanging it back up each time I moved.

Unfortunately, it’s now too worn, torn and creased to display on the wall, but I keep the print folded in my inspiration box to enjoy on those rare occasions when I have a chance to take the box down from the closet, sit and look through it.Continue Reading

6 Ways to Celebrate Valentine's Day While Single

4 Comments

A beautiful woman holds her hands in a heart shape over her heart symbolizing Valentine's Day.
This is your chance to celebrate - your way!

I know. It’s that holiday again.

The one where it seems like all of the women in the office are getting a big, gorgeous bouquet of flowers except you. Where you feel like there may as well be a big sign over your desk with an arrow pointing down saying “I don’t have anybody to send me flowers!” 

If that sounds more than a little cynical, it’s because I have a very good memory of all the Valentine’s Days I celebrated as a single girl, and I can still recall the dread I felt each year as the day rolled around.

Sure, there were a few years when I actually encountered both the holiday and a boyfriend at the same time – but this was a feat not often repeated. Most of the time it was just me watching from my cubicle as the parade of flower deliveries began finding their way all across the offices of the particular company where I was working at the time.

Always the same assortments of a dozen red roses; maybe with a different vase or a little more or less baby’s breath, but all saying the same thing: “I have someone; I’m not alone”. Continue Reading

Healthy Relationships: How to Know if Yours Is

Leave a Comment

A beautiful woman holds her head questioning if she's in a healthy relationship.
Am I even in a healthy relationship?

I've often heard the question - how do you know if the relationship you’re in is a healthy one? 

It’s a timeless question, one that I’m sure has been asked by women just like us many times over the past millennia.

At some point in our lives, we find ourselves questioning whether or not it’s worth hanging around a little longer to see if things are going to pan out the way we’d like them to. Or whether it’s time to let it go, because it’s just not going anywhere – at least not anywhere in the direction you want it to go in.

And while sometimes it’s pretty clear when you take a step back and look at it objectively, more often it’s a heavily gray area that requires some real soul searching to figure out what’s going on. Continue Reading

Three Things You Can Do When He’s Getting Emotionally Distant

328 Comments

A beautiful woman stands behind a man feeling sad because he seems distant.
Is it all in your head or is he getting distant?

Why do we sometimes hold on so tightly to something that isn’t working for us?

To someone that isn’t treating us the way we deserve to be treated? Who isn’t loving us the way we were meant to be loved?

You know the scenario – it starts off with fireworks, an amazing connection; you just can’t get enough of each other. Then suddenly, he’s not calling as much, he’s out with his buddies more than he’s out with you, or you just have some gut feeling that something has changed for him.

He seems distant.

Any time a relationship I was in started taking this kind of turn for the worse I did what so many of us do. I started hanging on tighter.

Yep. Break out the stranglehold.Continue Reading

Run...Run for Your LIFE!

A group of beautiful women finishing a running race and supporting each other.
It's time to find your true strength.

Do you really know the REAL YOU?

If someone asked you to describe the real you, would you even know what to tell them? About who you really are? What you’re really capable of?

Do you have any idea how amazing, how unique, how special, how incredible you really are?

I didn’t think so.

Because most of the time, we’re thinking the opposite. That we’re so lacking. If we could just be more like so and so. If we were thinner, sexier, prettier, funnier, smarter… whatever.

You get the picture.

We think the reason we haven’t found love, why we’re still single, is because there’s something wrong with us. And we really believe there is. When we think like that, we find that we’re not surprised we haven’t found someone. Continue Reading

The Inspiration Box

4 Comments

A beautiful woman looks out over the ocean.
And you learn.

Today I was sorting through a box of old papers and books I found tucked way up on a high shelf in the back of the closet.

I had all but forgotten about this box of sentimental items so carefully packed away in a corner of the closet, left over memories from a life I had almost forgotten about.

Among other things, in it I found some letters I wrote to myself back in my single days, when love seemed like such a faraway dream. Many of them were sayings and quotes that touched me deeply.

I would read these to myself on the dark, lonely nights, and they helped to inspire me to keep going.

One of the papers in particular caught my eye, as it had a poem written on it that I had come across long ago, and printed out to save in this special box. As I read it today, it brought back such a flood of memories for me, tears were streaming down my face as I remembered that earlier version of myself, so uncertain.

I want to share it with all of you. May it inspire and help you as much as it did me.Continue Reading
