I invite you to participate in the beginning stages of a research project titled: Single, Female, & Alone: Experiences of Surviving & Thriving. I welcome your input about challenges and successes with being over 40, single, and without children. My intention for gathering these experiences is to broaden women’s sense of community and to increase information about strategies and resources for surviving and thriving.

Although my direct interest is about single, childless women age 40 and older, I also want information from women with partners and/or children; all women have useful information, ideas, and strategies for each other.

After I have designed a formal questionnaire, I will conduct follow-up personal interviews with all willing participants. In the design and implementation steps of this research project, all information will be confidential. When requested, participants’ input will be acknowledged.

Although other authors have written similar books, the combination of my Jungian perspective (wholeness and individuation) and use of practical information will offer an additional source of information and support.

Please see the following links; the first two links are my other blogs; the third link is the professional organization to which I belong.

Affirmation for Holding the Blood Within

The moment is here
I have arrived.

The long and painful voyage
that I thought would never end
is over.

The blood and the energy
that have been seeping from my womb
out over the world
for decades
are now held within
and
I feel their power quicken
in my solar plexus
as I stand on the threshold
of Avalon
waiting to take my first
steps as full-fledged
priestess and
wise-woman.
