G.O.S.S.I.P. Sister

In efforts to change things up a bit, and to also not turn my precious column into a monthly bitter rant on the ups & downs, ins & outs of being single, I am going to share some tips, advice, and commentary from outside sources on topics relating to singles! Fun, right!?! (Should’ve thought of [...]

Checking in yet another month! How’s my single people doing?! There’s always a lesson to learn amongst this journey of singlehood. We learn things about ourselves, what we want out of a relationship, or what we want in a significant other; it’s a never-ending lesson seems like.  I don’t really know what my Single topic should be [...]

“The Problem Within”
Hellooooo Single Ladies & Gents, and all others visiting! I was recently devastated by the news of Halle Berry and her baby’s father, Gabriel, breaking up (well, I wasn’t really devastated, but for lack of better words- I was WOW’d). I didn’t see it coming!? Did you?

Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of messages and passages evolving around the topic of love; be it love yourself; love your neighbor; love your enemies; love God; the subtext of the context is LOVE.

A lot of times in a relationship, or even while not in one, you tend to take notice to [...]

Hello my single ladies (and hello to the men if you are taking a peek & married divas if you have come to silently laugh at the trials & tribulations you so luckily got to leave behind)! I’ve honestly been at a loss of words about being single nowadays… I mean really, what more can I say? Well, [...]

The tricky thing about being single is that while it is a necessary part of life it’s an exhausting one. Talking with a colleague recently she mentioned how “fun” the dating life was; I quickly replied- no it’s not! She insisted it was; I then found out she was new to the single life and [...]

Subject: The Grinch Who Stole…Everything!
Well, we have a triple whammy coming up. Alert the masses! *over the intercom* “ALL SINGLE LADIES! ALL SINGLE LADIES! PUT YOUR HANDS UP AND REPORT TO YOUR GRAVES!” That’s right- holiday season is in full effect! Thanksgiving gets a slight pass since no gift-giving is involved, but not really for [...]

I was watching one of my favorite shows Khloe & Kourtney Take Miami, and Khloe said something that I totally identified with; she said that when it comes to a guy she keeps her guard so far up that it causes her to “self-destruct,” leading to a ruined relationship. I totally get that, and unfortunately [...]
