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.

• A Message for my Fellow Bloggers and Commenters

  By myfemalepersuasion on April 14, 2016 • ( 7 )

  

  Thank you! As my fellow writers know, sometimes we feel as if we’re writing in a vacuum. It’s isolating work (which oddly, I don’t mind.) I’ve questioned: Why am I writing? Should I continue? Who really cares? And so on…. Read More ›

• The Dating Game – How Three Years of One-Off Dates Helped Shape My Perspective on Marriage
