She was a beautiful young woman who had red curly hair, a naturally petite but curvy frame, a good sense of humor, lots of book smarts and common sense. Red was no stranger to the woods as it was where she grew up, however she spent most of her 20’s and 30’s cooped up inside a split-level house in the suburbs where she moved after marrying her husband, The Big Bad Wolf, together they started a family.  After many years, Red decided she needed to leave her suburban split-level home because she was tired of the mistreatment that happened inside.

Starting Over Single SZN 2 Opener: SOS in the City

New Hi friends, Here I am - Back again:  And Yesssss……still single! ….Let me rephrase that, “I did NOT end up in ANOTHER relationship.  LOVE, however, did make a Cameo. 🙂🥰 What a great summer I had.

You know me, I am Chanti, a Leo, about 5 ft tall, funny as hell, down to earth, dancer, yogi, mother, lover, etc. You may have also met me as someone's wife...yet soon to no longer be. Maybe I'll introduce myself as a person later on, if I ever decide to let outsiders in. But for now, let me introduce this blog:      SOS or Starting Over Single is NOT a messy tell all drama!
