Our Blind Date introduction that I hope leads to a second date.
Posted in Housekeeping | September 19th, 2009Hi, my name is Abigail.
And I don’t claim to know much in this world, but I do know one thing for certain, we can’t do it alone.
I also happen to know that as girls, young women, and women, we can be told confusing mixed messages by family, men, society and friends about what our role as women really entails.
I am on a journey myself to find out what being a good and respectable woman really entails these days. And I wanted to share my journey with you, in a practical every day kind of way. And my hope and vision is that you would join me and share your journey and questions with me and everyone else in our community, who would love nothing more than to encourage you and remind you that you’re simply not alone.
Because let’s be honest. How many times are we in a tough spot and we long to seek advice but embarrassment, or fear of being judged, or not having anyone to go to, stops us? I know for me, the answer used to be a lot. But I have since learned the power of community and asking for advice to women who may have gone through my situation before, or they may just be older and wiser. (Sometimes just wiser). And when you write to me it’s not just “Dear Abigail,” it’s “Dear Abigail and…” (Insert names of many awesome women she goes to for advice)
So, I don’t claim to know all the answers. But I do promise to find the best answers I can give to you. Whether you are wondering if “cyber-dating” is ok these days, or you’re simply having a bad hair day and you need a fix to boost your mood, I’m here girls. I’m here as the big sister you never had, the friend you never seemed to be able to make, and as “that girl” at sleepovers who stayed up until 4:00 in the morning begging to play truth or truth while the other girls threw pillows at her just to get her to be quiet. Like it or not, you got me.
So, let’s quit trying to figure out this “women” stuff alone, and do it together.
Now that I have you pumped from all this motivational talk (yes!) let’s talk housekeeping issues! (No pun intended)
- Email me your questions to askabigail@dearabigail.net Then I will take questions that I feel may be the most relatable to other girls and women, and will seek a great answer, and post it on the page.
- I will always post your questions as “anonymous”. But I can’t promise that I won’t add something fluffy or cutesy such as “our anonymous sassy sister”. Although your secrets safe with me, you can also email me anonymously from a fake email address.
- If you happen to be sitting there wondering if i will ever shut my rather large mouth, (I’m not offended. Well, maybe a little) the answer is… maybe, it’s up to you. I hope that this is a page where you will let your opinions and comforting comments to others be known as well. The way that you can do this is by your comments. Even if you’ve had a long day and your “profound” thoughts are no where to be found, the simple gesture of encouraging people or letting them know you are thinking about them, can be the difference between this being a blog versus a community.
Upcoming fun things to look forward to include: “challenges,” contests, interviews with some amazing women, great conversation, and answers to questions that you’ve always wanted to ask.
Look forward to seeing you on our second date.
Remember, we can’t do it alone.

yours truly want to thank the blogger very much not only for this post but also for his all previous efforts. I found your site to be very interesting. I will be coming back to site for more information.
Every one on internet searches for cool content. Its very unfortunate with most of the websites published posts that are boring and out of context articles, just to show that new material is being published. Contrary to that immoral practice, this article is a cool-written article.
Buh Bye
Added to my Google News Reader. Looking forward to reading more from you down da road!
Really enjoyed your blog. thank you extremely much
Sincerly
