My best friend is getting married and I have the wonderful distinction of being her maid-of-honor. Isn't it convenient for my dream of dating again and falling in love, that weddings are the number 1, high-quality singles event in the world? Yes, I am still looking at the many ways a girl can ...
Why is it when we most want to connect, we're apt to feel vulnerable and withdraw by putting up an emotional wall? If you are like me and dream of dating again after being off the dating market, then we need to take a look at our emotional walls - or the REAL reason we haven't been out on the dat ...
Recently I accomplished the level of business success which allowed me to get a home for just me and my sweet animals. I was living at my business - now the two are separated. Along with this change came cleaning, painting and sifting through boxes and boxes of stuff. I did say boxes and b ...
I have family and friends who are screaming for the chance to have some fun at my dating expense. Maybe they should choose my dates. Sometimes I think having them chose my dates couldn't be any worse then my choices in the past. But is giving your family or friends authority in deciding who ...
Where do you go to meet these wonderful, enlightened, please-let-them-be attractive, minimally damaged men? Finding love in your 50's is not the same as finding love in your 20s. We no longer want to spend every weekend hanging out in a bar. Since I am still in research mode, I stumbled upo ...
Facing life on life's terms is the challenging part of living. Wouldn't it be wonderful if every day went exactly how we wanted it to? You know, waking up to the sun shining, in perfect health with everything progressing along without any glitches. What a life that would be. Howeve ...
This week I have been researching how to open our hearts to love. I've been single for 20 years and haven't dated in 4 years. The thought of dating again and the possibility of falling in love with someone is pretty scary. I've picked dating again as my dream goal so there's no backing out ...
Where am I on my dream to begin dating again? It's research baby! I'm in research. I've been reading the book 5 Love Languages by Dr Gary Chapman. After years of counseling, Dr. Chapman noticed a pattern: everyone he had ever counseled had a “love language,” a primary way of expressing ...
Soon I will be on vacation in a remote location in Mexico with no running water, no electricity, no signal for the cell phone, nothing but the beach and a book. Planning a nice walk in the early morning hours is about the most activity you will find me doing for the next 6 days. For some this ...

At least that's what we hope to say tomorrow at 1:00pm PST . . . So, here we are - the Saturday before the San Francisco Bay to Breakers - the annual festival in which 75,00 people decide to shed their inhibitions and run/walk/dance their way through San Francisco. This race is not only a mil ...
In March of 2009 I started down this dream path that I am on. My dream was to lay to rest the voice in my head who constantly told me I wasn't good enough - because my body didn't look a certain way - even though my body is fine. I admitted it right here on 8 Women Dream. This past year, I pu ...
