I had a great draft written last month. About all the happenings in my life. Things with work, the boyfriend, friends, travel... yadda. Well, there seems to have been a shifting of the tides because this month is drastically different than last month. I'm thinking my year will end way different than it began and, although it's hard to believe it right now... I'm sure it's for the best.
I am, once again, a single lady. {Cue the Beyonce song}. It's hard for me to even type that, being that I was planning a future with this man but you can't plan a future alone, can you? I won't say much about that whole ordeal out of respect to him but I'm very proud of myself for one HUGE thing I took away from it. I tried. For the first time in my dating life I tried with all my might. I really put blood (not REAL blood, it just sounds good) sweat and tears into this one and, even though it didn't work... I feel good. I gave it my all. At the age of 29 (I'm a slow developer) I practiced patience, compromise, sharing, caring, nurturing, nesting and all that lovey jazz. It felt wonderful... and some day soon, someone will appreciate it and reciprocate in the way that I need them to. Until then-- I will enjoy the comfort of my FANTABULOUS friends and family. I'll cook, I'll redecorate, I'll read and travel and try new things...Oh, speaking of... Just booked a Thanksgiving Ziplining adventure with a bunch of my girls. Yes, Ziplining for the holidays! The pilgrims would be so proud. It's on my personal bucket list and will sooner than later be crossed off.
I'm really kicking it into overdrive for the remaining few months of the year. Last month, I found myself in Santa Monica, California for the first time and also submersed in a dunk tank. Last week, I attended a photoshoot for Jupiter Beach Magazine for their "Top 40 Under 40" January edition. That was a blast... and I got to wear a blazer for the occasion. Faking "grown-up" status is a must do from time to time. It makes me appreciate my career that much more. Anyway, I'll be sure to post some of the final proofs from the photoshoot once they're released and the ziplining pics as well.
Hope all is well in your world. Just inching by... Day by day...

Hi Deena. I'm sorry about the lost romance. But that's life as they say (whomever they are). As an older gentleman, I've had my fair shares of lost loves as well. Hell, I even got dumped by email some time ago! You just have to look back at the relationship as a learning experience and move on. Just never sell yourself short. You need to find your own happiness. And my final words of advice...next time, try an older gentleman! LOL We're done with all that crap and our feet are settled on the ground. Best to you!
