Quote of the Day: “Overcome the notion that you must be regular. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary.” ~ Uta Hagen The Single Woman Says: There is nothing about you that is regular…so why are you trying so hard to catch a ride with the people that chose Easy Street over the Road Less Traveled?

Quote of the Day: “Be yourself and I promise people will enjoy it. And if they don’t…forget them.” ~Mitchell Davis The Single Woman Says: Just be YOU. You are enough. Silly, funny, beautiful, uncertain, strong, imperfect, sassy, independent, weird, hopeful, neurotic, spunky, ridiculous, impractical, joyful, single, colorful, fallible, unique YOU.

She might be the bravest woman I know. She walks the unaccompanied path. She has her own back. She asks for no favors. Not an ounce of independence does she lack.

Having a male roommate is sort of a 24-hour-a-day “Enter at your own risk” type of situation. On any given day, you never know if you’re going to open the fridge and find six-month-old milk growing a new species of antibiotics, head into the bathroom to find the toilet seat up and/or his pants down, or be sitting innocently on the couch and have him fly across the room … » Read More

Oscar night is here! With all its glamour and glitz and excitement, the biggest awards night of the year has arrived…and with it, a certain amount of contemplation over the most memorable (and not so memorable!) films of the past year. I don’t know about you, but awards season always causes me to reflect upon my own biggest hits and misses from the past year. Which moments of … » Read More

In the past year, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten this question. And though I’ve never kept my true identity a secret, I have very much enjoyed the guesses I’ve gotten about who “The Single Woman” really is. “She’s really married and just fooling everyone,” to “It’s probably really a man!” to “Are you Rev Run Wisdom’s wife?” The truth is, the woman behind “The Single Woman” column and … » Read More
