[Update: I just found a new post you may want to check out. It is from April at It's All About Balance, and it's called "Single, but not alone." Thanks, April!]

Today, the blog crawl features Rachel Buddeberg. I had the good fortune to host her guest post over at my All Things Single blog. She wrote a terrific piece, "Visioning a world without singlism."

Tomorrow, Lisa and Christina from Onely will keep the bar oh so high with a wonderfully imaginative and witty post that will appear right here at Living Single as part of the blog crawl.

Events such as Singles Week, officially recognized by the Census Bureau and the media, don't just happen. Some person or group has to make it happen. I asked Thomas F. Coleman to write a brief history of Singles Week, which appeared earlier this week at my All Things Single blog. He never once mentions his own name in the post, but the person most responsible for getting Singles Week on the map is Thomas F. Coleman. That graciousness reminded me of his book party for The domino effect: How strategic moves for gay rights, singles' rights, and family diversity have touched the lives of millions. It was his book, his lifetime of contributions that we all thought we were there to celebrate, but when he got up to address the festive gathering, he used the occasion to single out and to thank everyone else for their activism over the years.

So thanks, Tom Coleman, and thanks to Lisa, Arlene, Green LA Girl, April, Rachel, Christina and Lisa from Onely, Keysha and Terry who made the SWR blog crawl happen, all the readers and commenters, and everyone else making Singles Week, and single life, something to celebrate.
