Owning Your Happiness

Don’t let anyone talk you out of your happiness

Today on this last day of the National Singles Week blog crawl, I had the privilege of guest blogging at Onely. Christina and Lisa asked whether I might be willing to talk a bit more personally than I typically do here. Specifically, they wanted to know if I had experienced a watershed moment when I realized I was happy living single, or whether I knew it all along. Click here to read my answer. And thanks again to Keysha Whitaker and Terry Hernon MacDonald of Single Women Rule for coming up with the great idea of a Singles Week blog crawl and for making it happen. (I don't know why they never mention that they were on the Tyra Banks show back in May - I think that is awesome!)

Because this is the last day of Singles Week, it is also the last day of the special deal on Single with Attitude: Not Your Typical Take on Health and Happiness, Love and Money, Marriage and Friendship. You can get $3 off your purchase of the book when you order it from this website and use this coupon code during checkout: WR6PYUZQ. (You can also order it from Amazon as a paperback or Kindle version, but I can't create discounts on the Amazon pages.)

With Singles Week over, I'll be going back to posting a bit less often. As always, you can find past Living Single posts here.
