Happy new year

Well it's already been an interesting new year. On one hand I have some things brewing in the career/writing area like a potential relationship advice column in a local mag & web site (will keep you updated on that one!) and a few freelance projects.


On the other hand my personal life took a slight bruising. I got a text message from DB telling me he was seeing someone now.


Yes you read that right: a text message.


I was very polite & wished him well but inside I was ticked. After you reach a certain point in an involvement with someone, breaking things off warrants a phone call if not an in-person chat. We had most definitely gone past that certain point.


Putting that fact aside this was a good lesson for me. I allowed him to treat me poorly and today I have stopped that. From today forward there is no involvement with a man who doesn't show his interest readily, who doesn't call me more than I call him and who basically keeps himself aloof.


I'm done with all of that and I deserve better. Starting today I know I deserve respect, love, friendship and affection and NOT text message or email break-ups.


While there are other men in my rotation no one else has held my interest much. We'll see what the rest of the year holds but I know it is only up from here! It's going to be a fantastic year and no man and no man's text message will deter me.
