Hi, I’m Lee. I started this blog when my kids went off to college, and I realized I needed a social life. It started with me attempting to take ownership of my happiness by forcing me outside of my comfort zone and pushing fear and insecurities aside. I’m sure that some of you can relate to making plans with friends and then something happens. As a result, you cancel everything because you don’t want to go by yourself.
However, we all deserve happiness and a social life. With the many movements that have had an impact on defining the meaning, roles, statuses and opportunities for women, I would be remiss if I did not also consider societal biases with regards to gender and age. It is a fact that women are viewed differently and perhaps negatively for displaying the same behaviors as men when expressing their free spiritedness and independence.
Owning my happiness demanded that I free my mind from some of the negative social conditionings that are associated with women. It demanded that I allow myself the freedom to explore what makes me happy.
I will share experiences, relationships, and interactions with you along my journey. My blog is about me living my life as a single, “experienced” woman and sharing those experiences. I encourage my new visitors to start with my earlier posts to appreciate my progress on this journey. It is my hope that I will inspire others in similar situations.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I welcome your comments, thoughts, and any words of wisdom and/or encouragement.
Much Love,
Lee
