Welcome the Challenges | Single Girl Life Lessons
How I Learned to Accept Life’s Challenges as Steps to Something Better
By: Rachel Priest
Have faith and know that even if you are in the midst of a difficult life struggle the hardship will pass and may bring great good if allowed.
Why is it when anything seemingly bad happens in life people tend to cower in fear, anxiety, and depression and ask the age old question of “Why Me? Why did this happen to me?”
Even though it is cliché, a lot of good can come from a “bad” situation or event. So much so that it can make you question, is there really bad and good? Before we go too far down the rabbit hole of philosophy, I want to share my story with you about how a seemingly “bad” event has forever changed me, brought me to my yoga practice, and spurred my new life.

Anatomy of a Perfect Weekend
Catherine’s guide to getting everything you want out of a “free” weekend
PHOTO: Prepfection. One lesson I quickly learned once I had a full-time job is that we cannot live for the weekends. We should have at least one thing to look forward to each and every day (i.e. pre-work coffee, lunch with a coworker, happy hour, a fun workout). Regardless, that time between Friday night and Sunday night is still sacred. There are weekends that dictate your schedule for you. You have visitors coming, it’s your best friend’s birthday bash, you are out of town… but on the off chance that you get to build your own, here is the anatomy of a perfect weekend.

The Power in Power Couples
The Single Diaries tackles the question of what makes “power couples” unique
PHOTOS: NY Daily News, Fanpop, Salon, NPR. As you know, a lady can be “superbly single” whether she’s single or in a relationship. Let’s talk about the ultimate independent women with plus ones: one half of the power couples. Movements by themselves but forces when they’re together, power couples are made up of two stand-alone powerhouses. We love them. We want to be them. So what’s their secret? Here’s our take on the elusive power couple.

Single Girl Goals | Living in the Moment
The Single Diaries Challenges You to Focus on the Here and Now
Picture from Stephanie Rausser Photography At The Single Diaries, one of the things we believe is that we must dare ourselves to be better every day. We must challenge ourselves to learn something new, to take personal risks, and to work hard at reaching our dreams. It is why we built this supportive community—to propel each other forward towards our own personal best.
A key ingredient in this recipe for success is to first figure out what it is that you’re after. In order to reach our personal best, we have to first define what that looks like. Whatever area of your life you’re looking for growth, take a minute to stop and get really clear on what it is we hope to achieve.
To kick the exercise into motion we thought we’d take the first step by sharing one personal goal we’re working on each quarter.
For fall, we’re dedicating ourselves to focusing on living in the moment. We know the season is full of change from the color of the leaves to the start of new relationships, new living arrangements, and new careers. With the bustle of activity this time of year brings, it can be hard to remember to appreciate the here and the now.
We challenge you to join us over the next few months to work on living in the moment or whatever goal you’ve set for yourself.
