Kissed Love & Marriage Good-bye? (For Women Only)

In  a society that lives from holiday to holiday by now you would have realized that Christmas is long gone and Valentine's Day/ Singles Awareness Day is right around the corner. In honour of the season treat yourself to some chocolate and a good read for the successfully single lady:



1. Happy and Successfully Single by Tina A. Swain. This is a relatively new addition to the singles library but a very quick and real read. There is nothing better than getting advice from someone who is living out the single experience. Even better to have it sound as though you're getting advice from a close friend. You can grab this book for as little as $15 on Amazon.






2. The Single Woman by Mandy Hale. Everyone who has been single for a while has come across her quotes on social media at some point. If you're new to the singles game and haven't noticed her stuff - you're welcome. This book is available in almost every book store and for as low as $9.50 on Kindle. You can also access free single living inspiration for women by following The Single Woman on Instagram/Twitter/Facebook/Pinterest for daily motivation on your single journey.

3. Singleness and God's Deliverance by Betty Vivian. So you've accepted your singleness and you're not waiting on any Prince or anyone for that matter to rescue you. This book is a good read mainly because it's Betty's personal and deeply real story of accepting her singleness. This is free on iTunes and an easy read.






4. Did I Kiss Marriage Goodbye? Carolyn McCulley. This book really focuses on the spiritual benefits of being single and how you can use that state (notice I did not say season) to serve God. You can get this book for as low as $9.00 on Kindle.

5. Sassy, Single & Satisfied by Michelle McKinney Hammond. The content is just as interesting as the title sounds. If you had to get just one book - get this one. With lots of biblical references and personal stories, Michelle encourages singles to live a life that blesses others and enriches their lives instead of sitting around throwing pity parties or twiddling thumbs.

A Matter of Time

I don't think it's any coincidence that God's time  seems to be the theme for this month. There just always seems to be a time line involved in everything we want to get done. Anyway, as my birthday is fast approaching I've been spending time reflecting, going through pictures, reading my journals just really reflecting to get some perspective. What was interesting was that while going through the journal I just happened to buck up this to-do list...yea...one of those goal to-do lists  where I need to do x by y time . Funnily, the list was written back in 2006 and it had check boxes placed next to the goals. I noticed that at least 3 boxes were still not ticked at the time, while others were ticked and dated...and now for the surprise the unchecked were: 1. Become a lacto-ovo vegetarian  2. Go Natural and 3. Something else that I can't quite remember now.. . It was very funny to me, as reading it marked the 8th day since I had gone vegan with no desire for mea

The Driveway : Another Dream

After posting the last post I made about time , I went to sleep and once again had a strange dream. I have since been contemplating what to make of this dream. I mean how and when can we really ever tell when a dream is just a dream or a vision or even worse a warning? Last night I must have had a lengthy dream but what I can remember is being at this place, I am not sure where it was, but in my mind it seemed to be at this specific house. The house where my grandmother used to live in Frankfield. It somehow seemed different though as there were scores of strange people mulling about and as the stretch of land to get down from the road to the house...the 'driveway', had steps instead of stones and seemed much longer and steeper. What is even more strange was that people drove down the steps and there were three (3) vehicles down in the yard (bear in my mind that in reality the front and side yard of that house has no space for vehicles and vehicles have never been down there as

Facebook Free For Three

The challenge was never offered to me to quit facebook  but I did it and for three weeks at that...that's right...three whole weeks! I feel now is a good time to share some of the thought processes that went into that decision, some of the reactions and how I spent my time being facebook free. The Decision When I decided to take a 'longer than 24hrs' break from facebook it wasn't a decision I considered and deliberated on. As a matter of fact like nike...I just pretty much did it. I know many people in my network were left feeling puzzled, curious or just down right worried about the decision especially with how I made that step. Like I said before...I just did it. These days when people say they are not on facebook they are normally met with the 'which planet are you from look', so you can imagine the reactions I got.  This statement I recently heard aptly summarizes the overall reactions.   'Whoever is not on facebook is sick and needs help.'
