For fifteen years my love life had been my only life. I entered into relationships with men and lost myself in them completely. It’s not that these men I fell in love with asked me to submit to them; it was just what came naturally to me being the people pleaser that I am. For …

Going out single can be a very scary thing, especially when it comes to dining solo. But as a single mom I’ve learned (and blogged) in the past, that a party of one is better than none. While there is sure to be a certain amount of awkwardness the first time you decide to eat out …

I stepped my high-heeled feet off the bus at Port Authority that morning with butterflies in my stomach; sure of where I needed to go and what time I needed to arrive, but uncertain of where life was going to take me afterwards. I held my purse tightly in one hand and a set of …

Picture this: It’s 4pm on Valentine’s Day. I just signed off of work for the day to get ready for my trip to NYC for a drag queen filled celebration of love, when I receive an email from my dear friend Sherri over at Single Edition Media with the subject line TV Opp, asking me …
