Dear [FIRSTNAME],

Can you believe July is almost over?  I'm so excited to report that SF Pride was a raging success.  The air was electric and new and old friends connected.  The SF LGBT Center also raised an amazing $30,000 during its pre-pride margarita party!  That will provide support for all the amazing programming they provide our community.  A big thanks to all who supported the effort and enjoyed the afternoon with us at the Center.

By now you probably have most of your summer plans set.  As hectic as our lives are just try and remember to live in the moment and take it all in.  Summer will be over all too soon and we'll be donning scarves and sweaters.  To my fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants lesbians who still don't have a summer trip planned, how does a Sweet vacation in Cozumel sound?  Eat and drink to your hearts content at the all-inclusive Cozumel Palace Resort where we will be staying September 4-11.  This is a great chance to meet other dynamic, successful, professional women.  There are endless activities and single folks will never feel alone.  I will be there exclusively as the singles coordinator to make sure everyone has a wonderful and memorable experience.

On a more local note, let's hear it for Christel Van der Boom and her heavenly Angels with BoomSF for relaunching ladies night at Orson!  It's such an inviting space and the perfect place to make new connections.   In addition to the great food, drinks and company, I will be hosting a special singles activity every first and third Thursday!   The buzz around town is that my Star Search event last week was a wild success! Many connections were made, emails and digits were exchanged, and a few lucky women are planning their first dates!  Thanks to all who participated, my events are only as successful because of your willingness to take a leap.

August 5th, just a little over a week away, I'll be hosting a speed dating event.  Bring yourselves and your single friends and let's play!

For you guys, don't tune out-there will be something special just for you in my next letter!

Warmly,





Should we ask why?

Have you ever wondered why so many of us struggle to maintain a relationship that started out so incredibly strong and seemed like such a perfect fit?  I most certainly have. Here are some hard facts to consider.

1. People who are married or in committed relationships are healthier, wealthier and happier.

2. Approximately 50% of marriages end in divorce (with higher rates for second and third marriages).

3. The national divorce rate is two and a half times higher than it was twenty years ago and four times higher than it was fifty years ago.

4. Fewer people are getting married today than ever before.

5. Committed relationships lengthen life, substantially boost physical and emotional health, and raises income.

6. Commitment has also been found to reduce depression and anxiety.

7. There is a higher rate of divorce and adultery in second marriages.

8. Infidelity causes 65% of breakups nationwide.

Shouldn't we be asking ourselves why?
