Making my home feel safer as a single woman is a kin to teaching the proverbial old dog new tricks. Where would I start? By getting rid of all the knives in the kitchen, bolting the door and wiring all the windows shut? All these sound like good ideas but then again I would have to keep repeating the procedure day after day.

This would be a tad exhausting so I opted to sleep with a night light. This was one terrible idea indeed. After watching true crime reruns two consecutive nights, the eerie shapes it created on the walls were a bit too much for me to handle.

After several sleepless nights imagining the worst I decided to install a adt security cameras. The peace of mind has been amazing. I have been sleeping like a baby but that might have something to do with staying awake for almost three nights “just in case”.

For a woman living alone this was the right decision for this season of my life and even though it may not keep nosy colleagues and family members out, it makes me feel safe.  Ladies, this should not even be a question because security issues are things we grapple with over and over again. If you are interested in feeling secure within your home minus all the lock checking routines, it is high time you invested in one of these.
