A Quick Note to My Fellow Single Ladies in Shreveport on V-Day

"Are You Still Single?" That Question Used to Irritate Me.

Beyoncé made us all fall in love with the though of being one of the "Single Ladies" and we all forgot she had a man to go home to. I have never hated being single, however, Valentine's Day is my reminder that I am very much single.

I can't remember how it happened but one day my best friend and roommate decided we were going to celebrate friendship and love in our own weird way and we were going to celebrate it on Valentine's Day.

I Remember Getting Flowers a Few Days Before Valentine's Day and It Caught Me Off Guard.

It was the most simple sweet gesture that had me smiling from ear to ear. My friend Phung and I went to dinner and saw a funny movie that Valentine's Day weekend. Somehow her switching the focus of the holiday of expensive presents in between two lovers to a day to celebrate friendship reminded me why she was and continues to be one of my best friends.

This Valentine's Day I Hope You Find Time to Celebrate Those You Love the Most.

Most importantly I hope you find time to celebrate you and the beautiful person you are. In order to find true love you have to love yourself first. How are you showing yourself some love lately?

I will continue to celebrate love and friends and family. I'll ask a single friend out to a movie or dinner. I'll send flowers to a friend who is always putting people first. I have promised myself, single or taken, I'll take the Phung's method and celebrate the friendships I cherish the most.

To My Single Friends Out There Make Plans With Your Fellow Single Friends.

I promise it makes "the day of love" enjoyable. Most importantly, remember to love on yourself first. Let those beautiful people in your life show you some love.
