From a personal journey to...

I have blogged off and on about a personal journey I have been on for about a year or so. It's nothing earth shattering for anyone but me. I hate to say it, but I kind of became a cliché. Indeed, I had become that person who needed to find themselves. One of my favorite quotes along the way came from Tolkien, "Not all those who wander are lost". It kind of contradicts my previous statement, well not kind of, it does, because I talk about finding myself, but truly, I knew where I was all the time. Are you confused yet?

So for the second year in a row, I am flying by the seat of my pants and coming up with idea's of things I want to, need to and have to get done. As those of you who read my blog know, I made this oath last year and went on one hell of a year long, transformative, journey. As I write this today, I think I might have just finished with one of the biggest transformations in my life and I didn't even realize...

The single person's guide to Valentine's Day.

Are you single and fretting over Valentine's? Maybe you're becoming increasingly depressed, or blue, because you keep seeing those jewelry commercials on television, or those candy commercials? Or your friend's or coworkers keep telling you their plans, or hopes of a potential special moment? Well, I am here to virtually hug you and to tell you, it will be okay. First, don't begrudge your friend's or coworkers their happiness. Smile sincerely and be happy for them. Being happy for them, will make you feel better and will increase your outer (yet invisible) glow. Hey, you might glow so brightly, you could end up with a Valentine's date if you go to Happy Hour on a Friday night. Now, how do you get over yourself and move beyond the stigma, that is kind of self-imposed, of being single on Valentine's day? Take your power back and put you first. There are a million and ten places open on Valentine's day. Severa...
