I'm a writer daylighting as a banker! I started this blog as a single woman in my 30s, and while it has blossomed to include conversations on spirituality and travel, the basic premise is still relationships. I like exploring love relationships (they're fascinating) and the idea that we take ourselves wherever we go (from relationship to relationship, city to city, country to country, etc.) So self assessment is always necessary for growth. And you know if I'm writing about relationships (romantic and otherwise), topics also include dating, lust, the single life, getting ready to be ready (for whatever kind of relationship you envision), etc.

Thanks for joining me on this journey. If we're doing it right, expansion is ongoing. We never stop. This blog evolves, as I do. But -- I can only write from a woman's perspective, for us, and for those who love us.

  I was in the shower Tuesday night, and I could hear my daughter upstairs in her bedroom singing along to some tune playing on Amazon Music. I thought to myself “Wow, my daughter’s voice. My baby.” I’m weird like that,… Read More ›

• I feel like writing today!

  Perhaps my emotions are spilling over from an incident at the gym this morning. I have a stalker there. And this isn’t the first time. I hop out of bed at 5am, jump in the shower, throw on some clothes,… Read More ›

• Getting Mad At a Lover: What Happens Next?

  By myfemalepersuasion on August 11, 2017 • ( 6 )

  Is there anyone who pushes your buttons more than your lover? What generally happens when you get upset with them? Perhaps for pesky, innate behavior… Or plain forgetfulness. (Or even things they do on purpose…) It takes a ton of… Read More ›

• Who is Your Family? How?

  By myfemalepersuasion on August 7, 2017 • ( 25 )

  

  “Your vibrational family joins you at every stage of your life.” I believe that to be true, and it ties right into the idea of “finding your tribe.” In the past few years, I’ve found and reconnected with vibrational family… Read More ›

• What Are You Meant to Write?

  By myfemalepersuasion on July 31, 2017 • ( 14 )

  

    I haven’t been reading many blogs lately, except for the occasional travel blog (and most of them aren’t that great). I haven’t been writing much lately, except for the occasional journal entry, or the occasional poem or social media… Read More ›

  What I’ve learned is that you cannot help a person in crisis if you bring yourself to where they are emotionally. What value are you in that moment if you start passing out and whaling louder than the person who… Read More ›
