Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time there was a single girl who really wanted to be loved. She also really wanted to be a writer. Despite the fact that she didn’t lack talent, she had an amiable disposition and relatively no disfigurement to talk about, she didn’t believe that she had …
A friend once told me a story about a woman who desperately wanted to get married at a particular (very expensive and very popular) venue. Say Chiswick House.

I’ll confess, I’m in a bit of a pickle. Actually, I’m probably stuck, big time! I don’t know what to do with my book anymore. I ran out of love for my Love Project… I’ll elaborate. More than a year ago, after finding myself single for 6 years and desperate for a fulfilling relationship, …
