Dating: 12 Resolutions to Find Love This Year

Looking for love in the new year? These 12 resolutions will help you find exactly what you are looking for! The best part: they are easy to stick to.

looking for love

Go on more dates. More specifically, date outside of “your type.” You might find that there is something better out there than the pool you were limiting yourself to.

Be open. It is easy to fall for someone at surface level, but true love is found when we are at our most vulnerable.

Try a blind date. If going on a date with a complete stranger makes you weary, ask your friend to set you up!

Try something new. Aim for dates that are fun and unique, something you’ll both remember.

Be honest. No one likes to be lied to anymore than they want to be in a relationship with someone they cannot trust.

Learn when to hold on and when to let go. Not every person is someone you should date and not every couple is meant to stay together.

What I am up to

What I’ve been up to: New year, new blog!

It has been a little while since I’ve updating you all as to my endeavors. Right now, break is nearing an end. Grad school starts back up on Tuesday! While I am sad to say goodbye to break so soon (although writers do not get “breaks”), I am excited for what this semester has to offer.

Kyle Freelander and Dusty Dog

So what did I accomplish over my “break”?

Truth is, a lot of my time has gone into redoing my blog. A Dose of Kyle was a wordpress.com site and now I have made the switch over to wordpress.org (www.kylefreelander.com) to really get things going with my blog. That being said, I would love to hear from those of you who use WordPress.org! What are some tips you have? What plugins are you loving? What do you recommend [to me or for others]?

If you have a chance, poke around the new site and speak up! I love feedback (and admittedly it would be useful as  adapt to this new terrain).

However, I did find time for some writing as well –particularly dating advice for Heyy App. Interested in checking out some of those posts? (Note: these links will take you to Heyy App’s blog under a new tab)

Journaling

So what is there to look forward to while I continue to work out some blog kinks? Lots!

Particularly, I’m looking to do more posts that help YOU (my loyal readers). Let me know what you want to read/ what would be most helpful for you and I will see what I have to offer.

How am I going to do that? The honest answer is I don’t have it all figured out just yet. I’m starting with something that I am passionate about: journaling.

That’s right! This blog will have its first mini-series on journaling (which I will likely add to periodically after that). The first post will be up on January 20th!

Looking forward to the year of you!

Journaling

Journaling: A Mini-Series

As someone who has written in journals on and off for her whole life, I can honestly say that I believe journaling makes people better. It doesn’t make me “better” than those who don’t journal, but it does make me the best version of myself. If you are content not being the best version of yourself, then don’t read any further. If you DO  want to be the best version of you that you can possibly be, join us on this free mini series that will help get you started on this journey.

Let’s get journaling together!

We start Tuesday, January 20th, 2015

What we’ll cover:

Why you should start journaling now!
