So send us your eligible single friends in the Chicago area folks, if you think they might be a potential compatible match for her – our treat. I am honored and excited to be her matchmaker. A most successful African American lesbian professional, truly relationship ready. I literally wrote in the notes to H4M staff, “She’s wonderful. We scheduled our own 1-hour introductory Zoom for the next day, so I could learn what she’s seeking in a compatible partner.
Our new single dropped out of the Zoom and she and I had a lovely conversation. That very kind gay man then suggested to the eligible single lesbian on the Zoom gathering that she should call me, because she deserves to meet someone wonderful.įriends love friends who find love – those who encourage love, who believe in love, and who foster love. The caller’s friend recently heard me as a guest on a podcast. “She’s real, it’s her!” Great joy, laughter, and chatter was now buzzing all around, and I have to admit I was a bit confused. So I immediately dialed them back.Īnd just like that, I was live on the line with a group of LGBTQ friends having their own Zoom happy hour. Now, here we are with a courageous single on the other end of the line that got dropped. I remember every detail of that phone call and our discussion approximately 15 years ago. After all, I remember the vulnerability in finally getting up the courage to contact a matchmaker. “This is Tammy with H4M.” (Click) “Oh dear,” I thought,“ a dropped call.” It makes me cringe when it occasionally happens. And last Friday evening while folks were enjoying happy hours, I was working on clients’ files, and had the joy of answering the last call of the day, and of the week. Some find it even more surprising that after eight years, I’m still often the one to answer.
Folks often find it surprising when they call H4M’s toll-free 855 number that we answer live. No, it was the one going on simultaneously of which I had no knowledge. Oh, how we in Austin all miss our live music!īut THAT was not my favorite Zoom. I loved working late while enjoying the local artists collaborating in both cities. Since our clients are coast-to-coast in the US, and Nashville is an evolving market for us, I was thrilled to learn that the Austin LGBT Chamber of Commerce was livestreaming a joint live music watch party with Nashville’s chamber. This year looked a bit different with most efforts turning to virtual or online engagements.
