Did you know that there are 100+ million single men and women in the United States today?
Being single is not an affliction, a condition, a problem or something you need to change.
Being single is not evidence that you are not lovable, that there is something wrong with you or that you need to be better, different or more.

Each one of us has a unique purpose. We create meaningful work, rich relationships and a magnificent, fulfilling life when we live on purpose. When we live from our being we live a life in alignment with our vision, values and life purpose. When we live from our being we can genuinely love and be loved by others.

Don’t confuse being single with living a life that is "less than." Avoid judging and comparing the lives of others.

Our judgments, actions and reactions are a rich source of information for us to explore and to learn from. Thank yourself for becoming aware of this judgment you hold about yourself and or others. There is nothing to do in the moment. Allowing the awareness is a big enough job. Respect it and let it just be for now.

There is an old saying, “All things in their own time and space.” Let this be the time that you are becoming aware. With increased awareness comes increased choice and deeper knowing. Trust the process.

Remember, only you can make it happen!
