I’m not counting

There are certain people in life who you should be able to count on – family … spouse … close friends …
But not everyone should be counted for.
There are just some relationships with people that you cannot count on … and that’s not to say it’s a bad relationship, but learn it early and remember it often or you’re bound to feel disappointment.
The real challenge comes when the ones you can’t count on make you feel like you want to count on them … it’s an oasis and if you dive in head first you’ll find yourself with a mouthful of sand, the thought of which makes me cringe!

Feel free to dip your toes, but beware the consequence should you immerse yourself in this illusion.

Right where I’m supposed to be… or am I?

UntitledA few weeks ago I came to the realization that I am right where I am supposed to be. I’ve been happier than I have been in a very long time.

I accept full responsibility for my Singletude. I am Happily Single!

That’s not to say I wouldn’t enjoy being less single, if the right guy was interested ;) but for now, I enjoy my life. As is.

Isn’t it funny how just when you start to get used to life, it switches things up on you?

So I really shouldn’t be surprised when I get a call from my manager … AKA My Favorite-est Manager EVER!!  More than “Greatest Boss” mug worthy … telling me that a re-org announcement will be made shortly and she will no longer be my manager *major sadface*. She has been the most supportive, inspirational, encouraging, caring manager I have ever had the pleasure of working with.

Well, before I get too tear-y eyed over it …

My point of the post comes from something she said to me earlier today. How maybe sometimes things are just meant to change, something that I had been trying to tell myself yesterday. It doesn’t mean I am not still on track. I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before I am settled in to life again when I have to duck another curve ball!

I am making peace with the fact that I have lost … and hope for another opportunity to work with her again in my future.

Now I am looking forward to the challenges which come with change and more opportunities to make an impact in my career. It’s what I thrive on. I think this change will make a positive impact on our business unit and improve process in need of attention. I hope to be a major contributor to change  - for the better!

Oh, and my new manager happens to be really great too and I think we will work well together :D

Wish me luck!

Excerpt from a Social-life

It’s a tough job being a socialite, but someone’s gotta do it, right?

The past four days felt like a whirlwind of mixing and mingling and meeting people.

I hosted a meetup for my local group kicking off Thursday at the Morris Tap & Grill. We were joined by another group in the area and even had some samplings from Bolero Snort Brewery! I’m so happy to hear much everyone enjoyed it.

Friday night I popped by the neighbor’s for some pre-Cinco de Mayo cocktails and quickly found myself in the midst of a college frat party!

At first I felt like if they were to card me I’d get kicked out, but it too turned out to be a really fun night … and with the greatest neighbors in the whole town how could it go wrong? :D

Saturday night started off with an A Capella Invitational at a local high school. What an awesome experience it was. All of the kids were so talented and Street Corner Symphony, from The Sing-off season 2, drove all the way from TN to perform!

Check them out and buy some tunes. They were truly entertaining.

Met some friends for a late night bar crawl and finally got to check out the new late night grilled cheese place in town.

And let me just say, there is nothing so horrifying as a grilled cheese at 2am under intensely bright lights when it’s humid, rainy and your over heating cus you just danced your ass off.

A weekend to remember for sure, but now … time to prepare for my upcoming social calendar and see if I can actually fit in time for everything else too!

Wish me luck!!

Online Dating just got WAY more exciting!

By now I am sure you have all heard about the new online dating site World Wide Lovers, but have you heard that newly single celebrity heart throb Ashton Kutcher is signed up and looking for love!!???

I’ve been off dating for a little while now, but if there is one reason to put myself back on the market I think this just might be it!

They do say that one out of every five people find love on the internet.  I just never thought that I could potentially be matched up with Ashton Kutcher!! I think it’s time to update my profile and pictures.

I have a hard enough time deciding what to wear on a date with a non-celebrity and just think about all the paparazzi!

Do you know a special single lady who’d die for the chance to date Ashton? Be sure you tell them all about it and send them over to WorldWideDating.com for their chance!

SingleEdition B3 Workshop

I’m on a train … headed into the city to attend the SingleEdition Media’s B3 Workshop taday ay Lord and Taylor.

The day will be filled with sessions desigbed to help us lifestyle bloggers build our brand, business and bank accounts!

In the past I’ve had the pleasure of attending similar SingleEdition events, which were focuses on the single lifestyle, with the Live the Life You Love series.

Not only do these events offer us singles great advice and support,  tgey also give opportunity to network with a dynamic group of women (men too) who in many ways are much like me.

I’m so appreciative of these opportunities and feel very fortunate to be a member of the SingleEdition media team.

I’m hopeful to walk away with some inspiration and motivation to focus on really giving my blog the attention it deserves. I often feel like I’ve lost touch with my audience and have a hard time contributing unique content.

The truth is, I have more questions than answers in life and feel challenged to provide readers with something to take away from my posts. So I neglect it. I realize this is silly and a big part of me doesn’t really care if my words are seen by one or one hundred sets of eyes.

Here’s hoping the B3 Workshop will give me the kick in the pants i need every so ofetn!

I can’t wait to share in my experience more post-event so stay tuned!
