    I'm funny. I'm involved in things I believe in (animal rights, combatting climate change). I'm generous. My eyes. I'm a great hostess.

    I love your causes 😊

    Thanks! I'm actually in San Francisco right now attending Gov Brown's Global Climate Action Summit. Very exciting!

    What I see in your profile pic is a woman who has a beautiful soul, which shines through her pretty eyes & smile. A woman who i believe we would have together. We all have our struggles with this life we are given. We can either let the worldly life defeat us or take the day by the horns and focus on 1 thing we want to do right. When it’s turning into a hard day call that friend/friends who are truly there for you to help you feel calm & like you can breathe again. If you are a believer in praying say some prayers until you feel at peace again. You are stronger than you think, you just need to believe in yourself. I’ve walked the road of ZERO self-esteem a long time ago because i believed that i was worthless because thats what i was told. NOT ANYMORE!! Those people only said that to make themselves feel goid about themselves & when i learned that i became a better me! You can do the same! I believe it! {{{HUGS}}}

    Remind yourself that you are doing something positive for yourself. Loneliness is hard - do you have any women friends you could call and invite them over and suggest a get together. Can you take yourself out and get your nails done or try a change to your hairstyle. We all need a lift sometimes. And make sure you write a list of everything you feel grateful for. Even if your only grateful that you woke up this morning.

    That sounds amazing! I lived in Long Beach, CA a couple years ago, but I’ve never made it north of Santa Barbara. I’d love to see San Fran, Monterey, and all that wine country someday! I hope you enjoy San Francisco a and the action summit is informative and productive! 😊

    Start working out and don't settle for weights or cardio, find something specific that you actually enjoy (dancing, weights, boxing, steps anything that you enjoy). Take that time you workout for just yourself, no phone not thinking about others, when you workout it's your time, a time where you can be selfish and care just about yourself and no one and nothing else. Second you don't have to be alone, join a dating site and first of all don't let your weight or anything discourage you, be confident as confidence attracts people, yes you are overweight now but so what, you are still a beautiful woman, who can do more than she can imagine. Push yourself, there are ways. ♥️

    So, what can a bunch of strangers on the internet tell you that will make you want to get through this day?

    I don't mean to be snarky, and I hear your protestations that you're not depressed. But, clearly, all is not right in your world. Plus, liquor.

    You may benefit from some counseling, whether or not you're depressed.

    My recommendation for San Francisco:
    1. Go to the pier, and watch the adorable doggie mermaids (seals). They really are puppies with flippers.
    2. Go to Delores park. Find a burrito place (there's a 1000 of them), grab a burrito and a drink, sit in a nice spot in the park and enjoy the scenery. There's always something going on there.

    Thanks for the suggestions but I actually lived in SF for 24 years, and just moved to San Diego after my divorce. I'm here on staff for the conference, so afraid no time for the fun stuff. Thanks though!!
