Bachelorette Guide To Living Your Best Life

This year, I’ve lived intentionally.

I’ve put myself first, prioritized my well-being, maintained my snatched waist (5am workouts are a sacrifice but they do pay off #praisethelord 😊), gone after different things I’ve wanted, had the courage to walk away and say no to different opportunities that were not God’s best for me, taken risks, made changes, improved, moved through challenges, endured disappointments, and crossed a lot of different goals off my list.

I’m actively living my best life and have been able to encourage other bachelorettes to do the same.

It’s exciting to have rich experiences and adventures to call your own, be able to grow through challenges, and increase your confidence and self-esteem. And if you’re a single woman, I encourage you to decide to live your best life too. Hold your head up high. Don’t put your life on hold for anyone or anything. Be unapologetically selfish. Go out. Go out alone if you can’t find someone to tag along or if your friends cancel on you or don’t follow up. Get dressed up. Attend concerts and music festivals. Book trips and travel. Meet new people. Make new friends. Date around… or decide not to date if you don’t want to. If you find someone special, appreciate them, but don’t let yourself go or lose yourself in the process. Remember, you’re whole on your own with our without someone else in the picture. Get healthy and stay fit. Budget your money. Treat yourself and splurge sometimes. Pursue and work towards your goals and dreams; persistently and tenaciously. Enjoy not being tied down to anyone or anything you don’t want to be tied down to. And really make sure you live. You have the freedom to do what you want. And I encourage you to maximize it.

By the way, if you’re childless, unmarried, and single, especially happily single, there are going to be different couples and parents who will sometimes say snippy, thoughtless, rude, and obnoxious things to you about why you’re single, childless, and unmarried. The most reckless of them all may even be bold enough to write mean-spirited social media posts about how you’re living, because, apparently, people with kids or people who are married have it all figured out. I can assure you that underneath their criticism usually lies different levels of envy and insecurity because they’re unable to move and live the way you can, which isn’t your issue. They made a choice to be a parent or partner or both. Anyways, you might get upset, but I encourage you to ignore their comments and unsolicited advice. Keep living your best life and enjoying your freedom. You’re amazing.

Thoughts From a Black Educator: Qualified, Credentialed, and Constantly Undermined

I’m a Black educator in my fifth year of teaching middle school English, and in my third as the 8th Grade English PLC (Professional Learning Community) Lead. And while I genuinely enjoy the purposeful work I get to do, seeing the growth of my scholars, and continuing to hone my skills in a content area I’ve loved since I was a little girl, I’ve had to confront some unpleasant experiences in this space. I’d been through much worse when I was an academic advisor at a Christian university. Racism, sexism, harassment, and workplace bullying were sadly norms in that environment. However, some of what I’ve experienced as a Black educator hasn’t been normal … It doesn’t seem normal to be the only Black educator in my department – in a predominantly Black school. One of my Black colleagues once said, “It should look like a Tyler Perry movie in here.” But it doesn’t. It didn’t feel normal being reprimanded in a meeting (during my second year of teaching) by an administrator who went in on...

Ditching Dating And Decentering Men

Today’s current dating climate is bizarre. It’s grown so bizarre, that men barely, if ever in some cases, will approach a woman in person and ask her out on a date. Instead, the new normal has become DM sliding, creeping on social media accounts, and liking photos to build romantic connections, which honestly doesn’t sound too romantic or appealing to me at all. As a child of the 90s and a teenager of the early 2000s, I miss and prefer the time when men interacted with women without hiding behind technology. There was something special about handwritten cards and notes, thoughtful dates, serendipity, and intentionality. After having some unpleasant encounters, embarrassing moments, and failed set ups (from well meaning people who believe I need to be partnered), I’ve decided, that now, at 36, to choose me. I’m ditching dating and decentering men. I’m no longer interested in meeting anyone, dating, or creating space to prioritize a relationship. I’ve never been a male-centered woman any...

The Day I Made A Will

When I was a teenager, I remember writing a list of my greatest fears. One of the things I listed was death. Looking back, it was an interesting item to list because inevitably, death is something each of us will face at some point in our lives. Even though it’s no longer a fear of mine, I understand why and how it’s not a comfortable thing for everyone to navigate. But regardless, this past summer I completed a detailed will. I signed it, had witnesses sign it, and got it notarized. As I was getting everything done, one of the witnesses looked at me and said, “You know, it’s just that you’re so young…” I’ve learned that death doesn’t care how young or how old you are. You can be five, fifteen, thirty, or fifty, and it’s still something that happens. Completing my will wasn’t scary. It gave me peace of mind having documentation in place stating my detailed directives and requests. A year ago, I had one of my kidneys removed. It was a surgery that came with risks that were presented cle...
