Where My Girls At?!?


As a single woman, I for one, find so much comfort in confiding in and talking to my single friends.  Not all of my friends are single; some of them are married with children.  But, for the most part, the women I interact with on a daily basis are young, beautiful, successful and living happy lives… They also happen to be single.

The more and more I think about it, I realize that we are more than likely in each other’s lives for a reason.  I don’t know about y’all, but at times (when I am feeling lonely or not having a good ”single girl” day) I look to my friends as an example that it’s not just me, that I am not alone, and I’m not “less than” just because I happen to be single. And as selfish, superficial or immature as it may seem, it’s a little comforting to know that I am not rowing this “single girl boat” alone.  We are each other’s example that we are “ok” and personally, sometimes I need a reminder.   Being a single woman, I have the luxury of going out for drinks, to parties, dinner or whatever, whenever I feel like it.  It’s the part of being single with no children that I love… No one to answer to, but myself...  There are some great single girl outings that my friends and I frequent throughout the Chicagoland area.

Urban Fetes is a prominent event planning and marketing company that specializes in creating unique events for young professionals.  The company throws monthly Mix & Mingle events and other social events for young professionals.  My friends and I also manage to spot “a few good men” while attending these events, which is always a plus!! You and your friends should check some of these events out! Visit their website for upcoming events at www.urbanfetes.com

My girls and I also like to do “out of the box” activities... Fun themed parties are always things we like to check out! Summer is FINALLY here and to kick it off we plan to attend a "We Miss Da 90s" themed party! This event is a tribute to the era we all know and love and my girls and I are super excited!! Its coming up THIS Thursday July 21st at Saw Tooth restaurant in Chicago.  My girls and I are excited to throw on our gear and dance to music from a time we all know and love! You should join us!! 1350 W. Randolph, Chicago, IL

Being single CAN be fun.  I, for one, am having a blast, for now… (LOL).  Find a way to stay active while you are single; enjoy your life and the people in it! These are the best times of our lives, and I don’t know about you, but I plan to LIVE IT UP!!

Table for One please… Enjoying my life… Love me or leave me alone!

BACK TO HAPPY TIP: NEVER feel sorry for yourself! Everything happens for a reason.  Find a way to do things that make you happy! Make your own smiles! It’s SO worth it!

"If you're really a prince, I'll marry you..."

One of my favorite movies in the entire world is “Coming to America”.   It’s a side-splitting comedy about an African prince who goes to New York in hopes of finding a bride, so he won’t have to marry the princess his parents have chosen for him.   In the end, he finds love and they live happily ever after…O f course ! Isn’t that what happens in the movies?   Girl meets Boy…Girl falls in love…Boy falls too (eventually)… and they live happily ever after!   Movies have had me thinking this is what my life would be like as an adult!   Well they damn sure had me fooled!   It’s definitely not how my life has played out. I always thought I’d be married and done having children before I turned 30… Well, I’m pretty close to 30 and that has yet to happen.   In fact, I don’t see it anywhere in my near future.   I don’t see my childhood prediction coming into fruition anytime soon.   While dating, it’s been super difficult to encounter a man who actually wants to be in a monogamous relat

Weddings & Babies... Weddings & Babies...

All around me, there is love & life!   I am so happy for all of my friends who have found love and are adding to their families.   It’s no secret that my mother, the hopeless romantic is ready for me to have a baby.   In fact, last Tuesday (my birthday) we had “the talk” for the 100 th time.   She explained that she is not going to wait much longer for me to find the “man of my dreams” and get married!   I only have two more years to get pregnant and have a baby!   LOL!   She is very serious about this… And don’t get me wrong, I would like to have children, but in my own way… She is not tryna hear that at all!   There are certain things I expected to happen in my life and although things haven’t quite turned out like I envisioned, I have to live with what I’ve got.   How do you think I feel?   With the exception of a select few, almost all of my friends are currently in love, married, engaged, or pregnant!   And I am very happy for them, but I can’t help but think, “I wish that

A Forgiving Heart

Are you forgiving?   I mean really, truly forgiving?   I know I try to be, but only when it’s granted. It actually takes a lot of strength to be forgiving; to take your feelings out of a situation and forgive the person who has wronged, hurt, angered, or WHATEVERED (yes, I made up a word) you!   I’m pretty sure it all boils down to the bigger situation and if it’s actually worth it.   But, that’s a personal choice. Before you decide to forgive someone, do you come up with grounds for whether or not they should be forgiven or is it a choice you make, regardless of their reasoning?   I, for one, am a pretty good judge of a meaningful apology and that’s usually all it takes.   I mean, we are talking about minor, non-life changing, silly, but still significant situations that can be corrected.   I mean, who are we to judge?   The most unforgiving people usually are in the wrong or in wrong situations themselves.   I wonder why that is? I wonder where I would be in my life if God didn’
