Turn It Up!

Thank you for visiting my YouTube vignettes! William is back to playing polo and Kate will now wait for the pregnancy test to show the positive sign.


But, now that the royal honeymoon is over, let's get back to the real world. Real is not really a good word. So, I'll simply call it the world as we know it.


If your world is allowing you the freedom to come and go as you please or have the bed and bath all to yourself, celebrate and soar like an eagle. Relish in the fact that you are the master of the remote and the thermostat. You can leave the windows open to the fresh summer night breezes or pile on the covers with the AC on overnight.

Now that you have made the choice to stay single or enjoy being single indefinitely while focusing on your priorities, what are you doing today to get to the next level? Whether it's a personal goal, furthering your education, taking that vacation you've always dreamed of or pursuing an offer of a lifetime, how are you turning up your energy level?

Each month, I enjoy being on the air with John Holt, radio host of Networking Singles. John maintains a blog on his website for his business, The Tri-State Dating Service. As we're approaching the summer season, John's blogs are all about focus, energy, turning up the heat and remaining positive, even when the chicken little media is in our faces, as John puts it.

Whether the economy tanks or not, it's still up to us as individuals to stay persistent. You can follow along with the rest of the sheep and wait quietly for hope to part the job market sea or you can choose to find new opportunities on your own. If we don't want the government to own every fragment of our lives, then, we shouldn't rely on the government to find us a job. Where did that concept come from anyway?

Granted, there are a few hundreds of thousands who are lazy, but the majority of Americans fight for independence and to maintain a life that our forefathers came to this land for.  As my late father would say, step up to the plate and take responsibility. As a single person, it's even easier when you don't have to ask for permission from a spouse or partner in a relationship. Make wise decisions in your own best interest.

Do we really have time to waste over wondering what will happen to the Weiner's in Congress or former senators who may be indicted due to infidelity? Instead of camping on the sofa to find out if the bachelorette is finally going to see who is behind the phantom mask, couldn't we be making a list of goals or journaling? I'd rather be writing a new song or outlining my next book. There is no better time than right now amid the noise and chaos of this world to churn up the fire in our bellies. A dream is not going to come true on its own. Let's turn it up!
