Happiness doesn't have to be chased...it merely has to be chosen.

Happily Single" is recognizing that you don__ need or want to be rescued from your life by a handsome prince because your life is pretty awesome, as is.

You cannot ask someone to like you or love you more than you like or love yourself. YOU have to set the standard.

It's not selfish to love yourself, take care of yourself, and make your happiness a priority. It's necessary.

You__l learn, as you get older, that rules are made to be broken. Be bold enough to live life on your terms, and never, ever apologize for it. Go against the grain, refuse to conform, take the road less traveled instead of the well-beaten path. Laugh in the face of adversity, and leap before you look. Dance as though EVERYBODY is watching. March to the beat of your own drummer. And stubbornly refuse to fit in.

An amazing thing happens when you stop seeking approval and validation: You find it. People are naturally drawn like magnets to those who know who they are and cannot be shaken!

Better to put your heart on the line, risk everything, and walk away with nothing than play it safe. Love is a lot of things, but __afe_ isn__ one of them.

A girl who truly knows herself is a girl everybody else wants to know

Until you get comfortable with being alone, you__l never know if you__e choosing someone out of love or loneliness.

You will evolve past certain people. Let yourself.

TRUST that if they strayed from your path _ they DO NOT belong there. Not everybody can go where you__e going.

Love people who hate you. Pray for people who have wronged you. It won__ just change their life_it__l change yours.

There is never a moment when God is not in control. Relax! He__ got you covered.

Dance. Smile. Giggle. Marvel. TRUST. HOPE. LOVE. WISH. BELIEVE. Most of all, enjoy every moment of the journey, and appreciate where you are at this moment instead of always focusing on how far you have to go.

Single moms: You are a doctor, a teacher, a nurse, a maid, a cook, a referee, a heroine, a provider, a defender, a protector, a true Superwoman. Wear your cape proudly.

The more you go with the flow of life and surrender the outcome to God, and the less you seek constant clarity, the more you will find that fabulous things start to show up in your life.

One of the best times for figuring out who you are & what you really want out of life? Right after a break-up.

Single is a choice, just like Married is.
