Saturday night I went to a Ghost Talk for the Prescott area. How fun! I had seen the ad several weeks ago and had thought about it, but didn’t want to go by myself.
So Saturday afternoon I was taking the advice of someone and looking at one of the local PV newspapers-online, and there it was, the Ghost Talk.
Oh Sue, just go by yourself. Who cares. You really want to go! Just do it!
So after checking in with my Guides, I went online and signed up. I was like a kid in a candy store for the rest of the afternoon. I was excited about going. Who cares if I was going by myself. I like me! I was going on a date with me! WooHoo!
I had a great time. It was story telling with actors putting on skits for several ghosts all in the Prescott area. In fact, the location where the Ghost Talk was had I believe about four ghosts.
I am so glad I went. And all the way home I had a smile.
I remember years ago, it’s probably been 12 or so, was the first time I went to the movies by myself. I kept thinking everyone’s going to be looking at me, wondering why I’m by myself.
Well, I liked it! I liked going to the movies by myself. And if I hadn’t gone the first time, how would I have known that?
Are there things you want to do but no one to do them with? Or you’re afraid people will look at you funny? Just go do it anyway. What other people are saying about you is none of your business! (I love that saying!!) Besides, chances are pretty high, they aren't talking about you anyway.
If you’ve never done anything on your own, you can always start with something small:
- Go out for a cup of coffee (tea, juice, whatever)
- Go out for breakfast or lunch (you can always take a book or an electronic device)
- Go for a walk in a park or to the zoo
- Volunteer for a worthwhile cause
- Take a class (art, yoga, pottery, cooking, etc)
The key is, if you enjoy your own company, and no one is available, or you’ve recently moved across country 🙂 and don’t know very many people yet, go it alone.
I have a friend who recently moved to a new state by herself due to a job. She was just a couple of weeks before I was with my move. We let the other one know the ‘firsts’ that we’ve done. It’s a great way for both of us to go it alone (most of the time) and go do something new in our new cities.
It’s always fun to have a Buddy you can share your ‘firsts’ with.
Don’t let YOU stop YOU from having fun!
Angel Blessings to you.

I’m with you all the way here – good for you! If I would have waited for somebody to do things with, I would have missed out on some of the best times of my life. Going out with yourself also opens up many more possibilities of meeting new people. I did a lot of traveling by myself in my 30’s and met so many interesting people that way. People who haven’t tried this really should give it a go. Go with the atitude of fun and adventure and openness to new experiences. Other people can tell when you’re comfortable and open and are attracted to that.
Thanks for the comment Gail! Yes, traveling by yourself is fun as well. My first vacation alone was to Santa Fe about 10 years ago and I loved it. I had so much fun and have things around my house I still have from that trip which just make me smile.
Great comment “Go with the attitude of fun and adventure and openness to new experiences.”
