Quarantine Dating
April 5, 2020I don’t know about all of you but this quarantine has got me all in my feelings–big time. One minute I’m laughing at all the ridiculous memes on social media and the next I find myself crying watching Sleepless in Seattle wishing I had a partner to quarantine with on the couch.

Unlucky in Love or Trust Issues
The dreaded day is quickly approaching…yes, that’s right…Valentine’s Day. I can’t believe I started this blog on February 13, 2016. Four years later and I’m still single with no real romance to speak of after eight years of divorce. No…
Finding Love the Second Time Around
One of my single girlfriends and I made a “pact” (if you will) to make a deliberate attempt at meeting a nice guy. We started with going to happy hour in the city (if you can call Hartford a city)…
What a Difference a Day Makes
Since my last post, I have had a serious attitude change. What is it about the holidays that can bring out the worst in you? Today I took down my Christmas tree, cleaned my house, went on a long hike…
The Year In Review
Another year down and I’m spending yet another New Year’s Eve alone. Every year I find myself hoping that by this time next year I will have certainly found the love of my life. All my dreams will come to…
The Ghost of Christmas Past
Let’s just face it, the holidays can be brutal. The financial stress, the pressure to get just the right gift for everyone, the mall parking lot traffic and people cutting you off, the long lines and feeling that everyone is…
