Single is AWESOME!

This can be both an exciting and frustrating time in your life…because we know sometimes single can be hard, like when everyone on Facebook is posting their wedding pictures, or baby pictures or anniversary shots, or when you go to the movies or a restaurant and it seems everyone is on a date. But we are here to remind you of the benefits of being single — and even more so, how to be single and awesome!

Improve your physical, mental, and psychological well being by joining yoga classes, learn how to weave baskets under water, or journey into being a more healthy person by seeing a counselor.

Improve interpersonal skills…

Foster the skills of being compassionate and sympathetic.
Grow your problem solving skills – master the art of compromise and resolution.

Build repertoire of hobbies…
