Kiss Me, I'm Single; an ode to the solo life

Kiss Me, I'm Single; an ode to the solo life

by Amanda Ford

Author Amanda Ford tells it like it is: don't get lost in the pressure to be 'in a relationship' because the most important relationship is with yourself. This book is a light-hearted but very wise collection of musing and antecdotes about being single, happy, and proud of it.

Here are some of the gems:

“Being a single woman is not easy, but it is not an emergency either. Being single is the natural state of life. Think of it: We are each born single, born solo, born uniquely our own individual.”

“One of the hardest parts about being single is keeping your heart open. It seems we are always hearing 'no' always saying 'no'. We are either rejecting or getting rejected. Connections fall flat, hopes die, affections go unappreciated, expectations are rarely met....It is very hard to live 'yes' and 'no' simultaneously.”

And her closing proclamation, “Oh sweet God, I cannot get my mind around you. I cannot comprehend this bizarre, lonely world. I cannot understand the universe or the planets or why it is that some people suffer so much pain while others float through life on soft clouds. I cannot predict my future nor can I undo the mistakes of my past. All I can do is let go. All I can do is throw my arms open and exclaim, “Come to me! KISS ME LIFE! Kiss me, Divine Uncertainty! Kiss me, Gorgeous Man! Kiss me! I am ready! I am worthy! I am single! I am excited! I am beautiful! I am alive!”

A Fairy Godmother note about Kiss Me, I'm Single: An affirming treasure of a book on being a vibrant single woman. It's a perfect gift for single gal to have close by when feeling a little discouraged by the “couples-world” out there.
