To ring in the new year, Rita and Tirzah have decided to take this idea of selfishness seriously. We started talking about how women spend way too much time focused on the relationships with men in our lives and not enough focused on ourselves. Why does being selfish have so many negative connotations? We're here to rescue the word "Selfish" from being lost in a sea of shame... We are going to claim our relationship with ourselves to make 2010 all about creating more MEtime.
How are we going to do this? Well, every week for the next year, we're both going to do three things for ourselves. Not for our friends, not for our boyfriends not for our family but completely for us - just because. And then we're going to write to You our lovely readers.
We hope you enjoy this shout out to selfishness and maybe are inspired to do a thing or two for yourself - why? because you deserve it!

I think it is interesting that this is where we started, just two short months ago, and yet have suddenly veered into online dating. Upon reflection, I don't find it to be as stark a contrast as one might expect. I think part of this sense of adventure is realizing we need to put it out there- to meet new people, to learn about ourselves through others, to be willing to end things when they aren't right and pursue things when they are. Good food for dreams tonight.
