As my train departs the 30th Street Station destined for New York, I am reflecting back on my amazing trip to Philadelphia. I just loved the city – the culture, history, beauty. Plus, having lived in the car culture capital of Los Angeles for 10+ years, I can’t get over how pedestrian-friendly Philly is. LOVE THAT! It’s so much more conducive to the savvy single who wants to meet like-minded individuals. In Philly, you can do that – EVERYWHERE! Walking down the street, in the park at lunch, at one of the numerous outdoor eateries.

And speaking of brotherly love, thanks to all the men who came to my book signing last night. You know, my publisher told me from the very beginning that men don’t buy relationship books and to gear my book towards women. But let’s face it – men go thru just as many breakups as women. And unlike women, who feel comfortable reaching out to friends for support after a breakup, men often go it alone. That can be alienating, scary, and very, very painful. So for all the men out there right now who are going through a breakup, be kind to yourself, acknowledge that you may need help, and don’t be afraid to lean on friends for support. At the very least, get into a support group to help you heal. It will get easier! And even tho my book is geared towards women, there are plenty of lessons for you as well.
