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’m Officially a Mess

  By myfemalepersuasion on May 4, 2015 • ( 4 )

  

  I was listening to Pandora last night, and this song came on. For a hot minute, I went into an emotional tailspin. Not a heaving, snot-dripping, ugly-face cry (well, maybe it was ), but nonetheless… And then I went on… Read More ›

• I Am Superwoman

  By myfemalepersuasion on March 12, 2015 • ( 15 )

  

  I’ve been a mother since 16. Juggling school, a job – I worked at what was then calles Kentucky Fried Chicken on Myrtle Avenue in Brooklyn, and a baby didn’t necessarily make me superwoman though. I was just a kid… Read More ›

• Expect the Best in Friendship and Love

  By myfemalepersuasion on March 2, 2015 • ( 9 )

  

  Expect the best from your friends, give them your best, and they will come through. I caught quite a bit of slack (from someone I’ve known a long time and care about deeply) for the article I wrote about the… Read More ›

• I’m Engaged! Haters Gonna Hate?

  By myfemalepersuasion on February 27, 2015 • ( 21 )

  

  I would imagine that if or when I’m really engaged, people in my (very small) circle would be happy for me. Actually, I’m sure they would. But, tbh (to be honest), we all know people who can only muster up… Read More ›

• A Few Things I Miss About the Single Life

  By myfemalepersuasion on February 25, 2015 • ( 16 )

  Is it too premature for me to write about missing the single life? Not missing it as in – I wanna go back there. I had a good 3.5 year run at it. I mean missing it as in admitting… Read More ›
