If you’ve ever been single for the holidays, you know it’s hard to deal. All of a sudden, it seems like everyone is cozying up in big sweaters on deep cushy couches with their cute, cuddly boyfriends. And you’re thinking, “hey, where’s mine?”

Well, this holiday season I’m single too. Last year I was with my ex-boyfriend. But this year, I’m flying sola.

But I’ll tell you a secret…it’s the BEST holiday season I’ve ever had!

I’l loving the freedom of creating my own traditions with family and friends. I love doing Christmas with the Rosales-Friedmans–movie marathon of 4 movies, 2 theaters, and popcorn and twizzlers all ding-dong day. It’s a Christmas miracle!

And most of all, I’m loving the extra time and space to get quiet, and declare my deep gratitude for my amazing love-filled life. I’m grateful for the people who have always been there, and the bright new connections in my life.

I’m talking to YOU, my love. Thank you so much for being you. I appreciate you. And I love you tremendously.

Somehow, being single for the holidays doesn’t feel so bad at all.

Leave a comment below–let me know how you deal with being single for the holidays. Do you love it? Despise it? Do tell!

Till I see you soon, take good care of your sweet heart.

How NOT to Expose Your Body Issues On a Date

Screen Shot 2013-10-07 at 5.09.00 PM

Body issues–everyone’s got em.’ But how do they affect your dating life?

That’s what I was talking about over lunch a couple days ago, with my matchmaker friend. She was telling me all about her “problem client” who seems to have it all–beauty, intelligence, success, and even an athletic lifestyle.

So what’s the problem? She’s 25lbs. overweight, and very self-conscous about her body. (To be clear–her negative opinion of her body is the problem here, NOT the extra weight.)

So how did her body issues affect her dates?

Watch it here and find out: 

I’m asking you–Have you ever been like this “problem client?” What would you tell her if she were your client?

Let me know in the comments section–I can’t wait to hear your advice!
