Article 19
When life gives you lemons…make lemonade. Positive thinking and an attitude of gratitude can change your life - at least this is what my mom claims. I have yet to find the secret to living like this. On vacation recently, Mike left my key fob on the roof of my SUV. We...
Article 18
When we think about the average person living to be 82 years old… That’s roughly 29,950 days. With 1440 minutes in every day – we actually (if we are lucky) will have graced this earth for about 43,128,000 minutes or literally over 2.5 BILLION seconds. What are you...
Article 17
Is your glass half full… or half empty? I am not the most optimistic person and in this respect, my partner, Mike, has been such a blessing. Despite living in different countries and navigating numerous obstacles over the last five years while developing our...
Article 16

Article 13
One of the perils of online dating is what I like to call ‘the window-shopping mindset’. Sometimes it feels like you are wandering aimlessly around Ikea looking at foreign objects that are all VERY different - but essentially the same. You stop actively reading bios...
Article 12
“Dating” is not easy…but dating online – is even more complicated. You attempt to open up with personal info while still trying to safeguard your privacy. You try to appear confident and strong while feeling exceptionally vulnerable. You realize that not everything is...
Article 11
How much do you have to love someone to continually sacrifice your peace? Like most adults - my ‘peace’ is constantly being challenged. By work. By finances. By health issues. By relationships. CONSTANTLY. All I want is to find a man that adds to my peace – not...
The Online Era – Article 10
The struggle – is real. If you have dated someone long distance, you understand the challenges. Some days I want to throw my hands up in defeat. Other days I nearly scream out in frustration. There are so many times that I roll my eyes in absolute disgust and wonder...
About Soo Now
Soo Now got started in July of 2022. I was provided with some encouragement to get started by a friend who believed in me and my skills/abilities. Soo Now started as an 8 page leaflet with a handful of businesses advertising with me. Since then, Soo Now has grown to a 28 page booklet. It's been an amazing journey thus far, meeting a plethora of talented and amazing people. I hope to continue this journey for a long time.
