I never thought I would have a blog.

I’ve chosen the title singlemormonfemale because those three characteristics best define what makes me who I am: I am a woman. I am a Mormon (a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints).  And I am single.  I am a Mormon woman over 40 who has never married.  That says something about my life experience – a lot of things.  But maybe not the things you assume.

This is not a blog about dating – although I may write about relationships sometimes.

This is not a blog about how much I wish I were married – although I do want to be married.  And I am saddened by the passing of my childbearing years.

This is a blog about what it means to me to be a woman of faith who faces life on her own–but not alone–in an uncertain world.  A woman who is certain where her greatest happiness lies.

It’s a blog about my life, so hopefully there is more to my life than immediately meets the eye.  Otherwise, this will be a very short experiment.  And hopefully something in my life will resonate with something in yours, even if you are not a single Mormon female (assuming you find me here).

I don’t know who you are yet, but I look forward to hearing from you.
