I’ve been flying under the radar the last couple of months after a rather preoccupied ride on that oscillating happy-sad rollercoaster called love. Now that I’ve got my own head around it, I think it’s time to share another one of my epic love-life case studies. I recently got knocked for six by one of [...]
R-E-J-E-C-T-I-O-N. That big, scary nine-letter word that we’re conditioned from an early age to avoid at all costs. Sometimes, we try so hard to avoid the dreaded R-word that we never actually go for what we truly desire. One particular area of our lives where our fear of rejection can really slap us in the [...]
We often fall into the mindset that we have no control over our lives. Usually, we like to play victim when things aren’t going so well – maybe our job sucks, we’re overweight, we’re in an unsatisfying relationship, or we’re lonely. We’ll blame whatever shortcomings exist in our lives on our past, bad luck, or [...]
As much as I like to rant about the lack of chivalry in the general male population today, I must admit there is one area in which men beat us ladies hands down. I’m sure you’ve had those times in the street where you’ve had to walk out of your way to avoid colliding with [...]
Ever had one of those days (or months, or years) in your life when nothing went the way you wanted and everything you touched turned to shit?

Have you ever made an enormous change in your life? How did your family and friends react? Did they support you, or did they try to knock you off the path you wanted to follow? You can’t underestimate the importance of a good support network in your life. When you want to change your life [...]
One thing I used to find particularly difficult after coming out of serious, long term relationships was the awkwardness of being single at parties, dinners, and other social occasions. A partner by your side for social occasions is comforting when you hardly know anyone else in the room. You always have one another to communicate [...]
How long does it take you to get over a break-up? It used to take me months! Now it can take me as little as couple of days. If you’ve ever been through a break-up, that time frame probably sounds ridiculously short, but learning to deal with break-ups more easily is all about understanding yourself [...]
This post was prompted from a discussion with my neighbour who had been single for a couple of years. Out of the blue, he asked what my perfect first date would be. Stumped, I realised I had never actually thought about it. I had no idea. On the other hand, he had about ten great [...]
