Before Carrie Bradshaw and her crew rocked New York in “Sex and the City,” and Joan and her “Girlfriends” took the TV world by storm, the ladies of “Living Single” highlighted the highs and lows of the single life. Having girlfriends who have your back never goes out of style. “Cherish your true friends. While you’re single you have more opportunity to build and nurture those friendships than you do as an attached woman. Your partner can’t be all things to you. Those friendships will help you sustain your union,” says Angela R., 51, who has been happily married for 22 years.

It Starts With You
“We place a lot of attention on what the other person should be like. But how do we get in a state of readiness to be with that person? While it’s important to seek specific qualities in a partner, not enough of us spend time on our own spiritual development.”

Spend time developing your self spiritually, intellectually, socially, and emotionally. Before you enter a relationship make sure you are NOT brining unneccessary baggage.

Ok so Summer is the season of love. You see couples on the beach, in the park, at family gatherings. Awww it is tooooo kuh-yute!!! But for some, its like “Do they really have to kiss every 3ft…give me a break”…but since I got such great feed back from the “Single & Satisfied” series I bring you the top reasons why it is great to be single in the SUMMER!!!

1. You do not have to answer to anyone. You don’t have to worry about your boyfriend not wanting you to go out. You just have a great time. Only feelings that matter are yours!

2.You become a man magnet Owwwwww. Lets be real, when it gets hot, you show a lot more skin and a lot more guys are looking and not just the creepy old dudes outside with tight denim shorts and an opened button up shirt showing their gut…yuck!

3. More time with the girls! There is always that one friend that gets the exclusive invites and calls you last minute to check out an exhibit at the museum…go and have fun!

5. You have more time to try something new. For some reason the summer time is the perfect time try new things. Revisit an old hobby or pick up a new one.

So ladies enjoy the summer! Learn more about YOU! Appreciate your own company by going to the beach…bring a big floppy hat and your iPod. Appreciate your own company by going to the park with your favorite book. Check out a movie or spend some quality time with family and friends. Enjoy this time and worry about boo loving in the winter.
