National Singles Day celebrates singles!
National Singles Day is a day for everyone, singles and couples alike, to recognize our single friends, family members, co-workers and fellow citizens. The U.S. Census Bureau reports that 45% of U.S. residents age 18+ are single – that’s 109 million U.S. taxpayers – up 2 million from 2015. National Singles Day recognizes and acknowledges our single population and celebrates their contribution to the fabric of our daily lives.
No longer a minority, much less the lonely, downtrodden bachelors and spinsters of yore, today’s singles are vibrant, active contributors to their communities, workplaces, families and to our economy, culture and vitality as a nation.
Whether by choice or circumstance, single lifestyles are growing in acceptance and popularity. Younger generations are choosing to stay single longer, living solo or cohabitating. Some singles choose to raise children out of wedlock or simply focus on their own self-development and marry at a much later age, or not at all. National Singles Day… Read More »

GOOD TO KNOW: Interesting read in the latest issue of The Atlantic, chock full of insightful tidbits like this one from Jack Fong, sociologist at California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly). On the therapeutic benefits of taking a little you time, "When people are experiencing crisis it’s not always just about you: It’s about how you are in society. When people take these moments to explore their solitude, not only will they be forced to confront who they are, they just might learn a little bit about how to out-maneuver some of the toxicity that surrounds them in a social setting.” Amen, Jack... :) #sweetsolitude #metime #savvysingles #theatlantic #singlesdayUSA

SINGLE LADIES, keep your engines running... you're making history! Amanda Chatel, Bolde.com is calling 2017 the 'Year of the Single Woman', citing single women's rise to a place of unprecedented influence and visibility, effecting a tectonic shift in the bedrock of public opinion and making "single" less label, more badge of honor in the process. And, she says, this is only the beginning...
"We’re going to continue to shake things up, makes ourselves visible, and in what few corners of society where being a single woman is a “bad” thing, we’re going to serve them a plate of reality they can’t escape. Everywhere we go, we’ll leave a trail of proof that single women aren’t just dominating, but are part of the very infrastructure of our society which compels people to pay attention and realize our worth. And in the process, we won’t just make history, but each and every one of us will be part of history — or should I say herstory?" #yearofthesinglewoman #singleladies #makinghistory #savvysingles
