Indie Girl Diary is a raw & uncensored look at the reasons behind the abrupt end of my six-year marriage, when I was unwillingly tossed back into single life at age thirty-eight. I felt robbed of my identity, my happiness & the future we had envisioned together. Plus, the harsh reality of Post Marital Stress Disorder (PMSD) left me feeling sad, betrayed, confused & angry.  It jaded my views of dating, relationships & the possibility of having a future with anyone else.  During our three-year separation & ultimate divorce, these are the questions that both plagued me and found resolution: 

• Who I am without my EX?
• What do I want out of life?
• Will I ever date again?

Pouring my soul onto the pages of my diary wasn't enough to heal my broken heart.  And although pints of Ben & Jerry's and Sex & the City re-runs helped, I realized that true happiness would only come if I got off of my couch and began fully engaging in life; even if I had to do it alone.  So, I started dating myself, aka, going on Indie Dates.  

They helped me to:

• regain my independence
• re-discover my passions & cultivate new ones
• create balance between work & play
• prioritize the nurturing of my body, mind & spirit
• appreciate my inner & outer beauty
• live more consciously & become more self-aware
• take responsibility for what happens in my life; the good & the bad

So, check out my Indie Dates for inspiration and ideas. And be sure to wine, dine, entertain, pamper & romance yourself (by yourself) in your local city!
