I’ve started two (online) groups for singles at meetup.com. This is a great way to bond with others in a similar life situation, build a community, give and recive support plus have a laugh or two! All meetings occur on Skype and are for free! One group is called “single women's circle” which as indicated …

As we are entering wedding season in this part of the world I feel the evident discrepancies in how couplehood is viewed by society versus singlehood. While planning (yet another) bachelorette party I found myself feeling rather annoyed and reluctant. At first I couldn’t put my finger on why I was dragging my feet with …
In the last post I describe three types of singles, two of these are the inbetweener and involuntary single (don't know these terms? Read "Three types of single, which one are you?" ). My number one advice for every involuntary single is to take themselves out of the dating market and not return until they’re …

It’s been a while since I last wrote about single life on this blog. The truth is I put it all on the shelf. Not out of disinterest or lack of inspiration, it’s been more of a “temporarily closed for construction” situation. Now that I’ve worked with singles one on one plus novel personal experiences, …
A while back I wrote a text called “That one issue”. To recap, every single one of us has (at least) one area in life where reoccurring struggles seem to emerge. The issue can be related to health, friendship, work, finances, personal relationships etc. Characteristics of “that one issue” are the progressive mini steps in the …

I’m unable to count the amount of times I’ve begun to type on my blog only to delete it. Mainly, I’ve had a feeling of being a phony if I were to post photos of picturesque nature landscapes or of myself with a wide smile enjoying life. I’ve captured plenty of images on camera and …

Diverging from my old beaten life track and turn in the direction of travel and discovery has been the ultimate decision. Having the luxury expanding my sense of freedom certainly has given grounds for both gratitude and pride. The perks of travelling blended with trifles like culture clashes, language barriers and constantly getting astray, has …
I’ve always believed every cloud has a silver lining. Plenty of times in my life, plans and expectations backlash or don’t unfolded the way I’d prefer yet after some lapse of time, the purpose of the event becomes evident. I remember when I was slaving away on a farm in a small rural town in …
The terminology used when describing singles is rarely a flattering . The absence of a romantic partner, seems to lead to conclusions indicating there is a dysfunction at bay. One area where this occurs is in our ability to bond to another human being. I can testify to this myself having been on the receiving …

The interrogation is a scenario that most singles are quite familiar with. It involves a minimum of one "detective" who's leading the interrogation, and a single person who's declaring their innocence. Important to note is that the interrogation is not culture dependent nor does consider how the parties involved relate to one another. It can …
