I have a friend who notices patterns. He’s pretty analytical and I like that about him. I too notice patterns. I’ve noticed that I attract certain personality types. I’ve taken a few personality tests and know that my personality tends to be more “melancholy”. As a result I attract the opposite personality type in my… Continue reading The Exception

Dating Has Purpose
Once upon a time I believed I could not and would not date. If dating was the antonym of courtship, then I chose courtship. I even share this in my first book. But then things changed. I changed. The years rolled on and I found myself walking out what my friends and I call, “extended… Continue reading Dating Has Purpose
When Your Best Friend Gets Married
My best friend got engaged. We knew it was coming but then again we didn’t. We talked about the possibilities and played out the scenarios but nothing makes it real until it really happens. Well it really happened. And all of a sudden, memories of our shared singlehood flash across my minds’ eye. Like that… Continue reading When Your Best Friend Gets Married
Life’s Suprises
Sometimes in life the unexpected happens. Like you go to an event when you really don’t want to go because you have a cold and you’re tired but you go anyway because you care a lot about the person hosting it. And you also have a special position on their campaign team and they could… Continue reading Life’s Suprises
Building Slowly
I admit I can be an impatient person. Even after all these years and all the tests God has used to develop patience w/in me, it is not my preference to wait. But in the world of getting to know new people and developing relationships, I have come to value a person that takes their… Continue reading Building Slowly
I Never Wanted to Date
So now I’m more open. I’m receiving phone numbers, I’m going out, I’m letting the universe (and Jesus, of course) know that, “I’m accepting applicants from quality candidates at this time. Dating wasn’t my first choice. It wasn’t what I thought my romantic life would look like 10—ok, ok, 15 years ago. But there is… Continue reading I Never Wanted to Date
The Gift
It’s been a month since we started hanging. I knew I was attracted but had no idea God could use that attraction. I had no idea you would be a safe haven. A place of restoration. There are so many things I marvel at: the treatment of respect, the understanding of my value, the seeing… Continue reading The Gift
Blind Spots
It’s amazing one can be intelligent, driven, successful, beautiful and godly. One can be all those adjectives yet still be susceptible to Foolery. Manipulation. Falsehood. And Deception. One of my spiritual gifts is discernment. Demons and spiritual entities of darkness approached me early on in my spiritual journey and I was hardly afraid. I could… Continue reading Blind Spots
Getting Older
People have been asking me what I’m planning for the big 3-4. I honestly have no plans. My emotions have been up and down (ok, mostly down) about the upcoming event and I don’t know how I will feel when it gets here. Will I have a series of bursts of energy and strength… Continue reading Getting Older
When You Like Them But They Don’t Like You Back
It happens to the best of us: someone catches your eye or maybe you caught theirs. Perhaps there followed a nice stimulating conversation after that initial attraction. The atmosphere seemed perfect, the dialogue phenomenal, and you can’t help but think, “Hmmm, this may just lead to something”… To read more check out my guest blog… Continue reading When You Like Them But They Don’t Like You Back
