"You're single, not sick. Enjoy the ride!"
Coach Yvonne has come to your rescue! Yvonne is the official cheerleader and spokeswoman for single women all over the world. I am here to support you, be your cheerleader, advocate and sounding board in those difficult times. I am here to put a stop to every negative stereotype that single women have endured. There is nothing wrong with you because you are single. There may be areas of your life that need buffing up, and I can certainly help you with that, but don't think for one second that there is something wrong with you because you don't have a man.
Availableandhappy.com was created to encourage single women to enjoy living single and to squeeze every drop of juice out of her single life. Living single is not a time to go from one bad relationship to the next nor is it a holding pattern for you to sit and wait for matrimony. Instead, it is a time for you to utilize your God given talents and abilities to make a difference in the world and in God's kingdom.
Why the name Available and Happy? Simple! The meaning of the words individually and collectively speak my message and mission. Webster's dictionary defines Available as present and ready for immediate use, while the definition of Happy is glad, pleased, joyous, and enthusiastic. What a great way to be!
Words of Wisdom
"We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are grown. After that, we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage. We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice vacation or when we retire. The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when?" Crystal Boyd
