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.

• BOYFRIEND?

  By myfemalepersuasion on January 12, 2015 • ( 12 )

  

  This is a bit weird! I was single for almost four years, and naturally used to being selfish. With my new status, I have to communicate more openly, practice full disclosure, be fully available, and cater to his wants/needs. I… Read More ›
