I love to read and when I find myself in a situation I'm not happy with at first, I often find that my biggest comfort is sometimes reading about another person's struggle and tribulation when they, too, were going through a situation like my own. It's always a pleasant surprise to find something someone has written that you can relate to and that leaves you with a good feeling on the inside when you may need it the most. Articles, quotes, books; they can all be your best friend when you just need a little word of encouragement. That's what this section of my blog is about: A little encouragement and hopefully a few laughs for you single ladies out there. Enjoy!
