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.

  When I met LB over a year ago, I felt like we were kindred spirits. This past weekend we found out that his close relative is buried in the same cemetery as my sister, not too far apart (distance wise)… Read More ›

• Excess Baggage (Thank you. I Release You!)

  By myfemalepersuasion on December 1, 2015 • ( 13 )

  

  I’ve been meaning to write a follow up on this post I put up a few weeks ago. The whole premise was that we should try to heal our issues before showing up to new relationships with “old shit” (I.e…. Read More ›

• When We Were Young

  Bear with me for another Adele post. 25 definitely isn’t 21. I felt the former album more at my core. (And I was single at the time – not going through a breakup. I know her career blew up on… Read More ›

• Is This All About My Sacral Chakra (Erotica)

  Lately I’ve been engaged in lots of self care – yoga, meditation, writing… And just yesterday, I treated myself to a deep tissue massage. I was in HEAVEN. And I’ll admit, the pressure the masseuse applied to my naked butt… Read More ›

• Love!

  I’m just gonna be random with you for a second. I can’t remember a time when I was so in love with a man’s voice. The intonations, the pauses, the dips, the raspiness (a word?), the clarity, the accent… How… Read More ›
