“Give the world the best you have and the best will come back to you.”

—Madeline Bridges

I love this quote! It is applicable to so many aspects of our lives. For example, work, education, avocation, sports. We know that if we want to succeed in any endeavor, we have to work at it. This is true for family, school, business, exercise, and other life endeavors. Success takes hard work. But it is achievable. It can be done.

Yesterday, I was a guest on Art ‘Chat Daddy’ Sims WVON 1690. We talked about how Chicago can be one of the worst cities in the country if you’re single. The stories are legend about the horrors of the Chicago dating scene.

As a native Chicagoan who has been single, married, divorced and a single mom, I could relate. I’ve dated as a single woman and a single mother. I am one of those sorry statistics.

I was recently watching a TV show with a couple experiencing the infancy stage of their relationship. You may know how that feels because you have probably been there.

The beginning of a relationship is generally the best part of any relationship. You cannot wait to see the other person. You are both being communicative and willing to settle disagreements quickly. But, in the back of your mind, you may be thinking to yourself this is just too good to be true.

This is when things can get cagey and you may start to self-sabotage your relationship. Fortunately, you can prevent this from happening.

Art Sims of WVON 1690 and I recently talked about some ways singles can prevent the holiday blues. Here’s what we discussed during the talk radio show.

It’s that time of year again. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s bring lots of holiday excitement. There is much emphasis on seeing family, friends, and loved ones. But when you are single, the holiday season can feel lonely.

Most people have high expectations around the holiday season. There is much involvement with family, visits and parties with friends, a lot of holiday anticipation, and excitement coupled with stress. There is pressure to give the perfect gift, have the perfect meal, and experience the perfect holiday. This can lead to pressuring yourself to expend a great deal of energy in order to please everyone. This is usually followed by exhaustion and emotional letdown once the holidays are over.
