To revel in wellness, and have fun babysitting your friends’ children. (And shhh…giving them back to mom!) I used to think the true answer in life was finding a mate. This was until I got into a marriage too quickly and realized how incredibly lonely life can be when you aren’t with the right partner.

I know people who are married and happy, and single and happy. But I also know many people who are married and suffering with loneliness, and those who spend all of their time complaining that they don’t have a spouse or kids. The key is to be thrilled with where you are right now. Embrace your age, circumstances, lifestyle and those that you so choose to share it with. If you’re unable to authentically embrace where you are? Change where you are.
