The Applaud Women publication is dedicated to women in New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts. It's purpose is to inspire, inform, and
applaud local women. The core of the magazine is our inspirational women's articles, most of which feature local women but occasionally we are
able to interview national women who we feel provide a unique inspiration for our readers. Our other articles cover topics of interest such as food
recipes, home, garden, beauty, health, fashion, dating, parenting, seniors, finance, business, hair care, skin care, advice, real estate, insurance,
weddings etc. Each issue has a feature section as well. Many of our articles are written by local business people who provide information
relevant to their business expertise. The Applaud Women website is also a resource center for local women including the most comprehensive
listings of Restaurants, Weddings, Female doctors and Hotels. It also includes a number of informational pages with links, articles and RSS feeds
to both local and national websites of interest to women in NH & n. MA.

| Sadie's Dating Adventures: Maybe Tomorrow By Cheri Valentine |
My mini marriage is over. I am as deflated as a popped balloon at a child's birthday party. I don't know what I was thinking. Who am I kidding? I
was not thinking. I did not think. I reacted to the first man who had my juices flowing after walking away from my lifeless marriage.
I reacted to the attention of a man who said all the right things to me and made me feel vibrant and alive when he kissed me, and touched me,
and well, you know. He did things to me that I did not know could be done. He made me feel like I was the most beautiful woman in the world
when he looked into my eyes. And I was. For about 6 fantasy weeks I was.
I had been flying so high on the clouds I was unavailable to the rest of the world. And now the flight has ended and I just want to crawl under a
rock and die. I am being a bit melodramatic. Of course, I don't really want to die. I just want this awful hollow feeling of emptiness to disappear. I
want my life back, my life as I knew it before it became so colorful. I want the sepia tones back. I know how to exist there.
You've got me in a rather bad moment, as you can see. I am drowning in my sorrows alone, have been for several days now. I think it is time I pull
myself together, crawl out of the same clothes I have lived in for the past week and take a shower. Yes, that's a start. I will shower. Then I will
pick up the phone and call my best friend and make plans to go see her.
I will put on the prettiest dress in my closet, curl my hair, apply my favorite made up look, and ...
Maybe tomorrow.
