My Story

I’m going to write my story.  For those who it might help. With the hope that it might make others feel seen.  Maybe what happened to me and how I got through it might inspire you.  Or maybe it will help you understand someone close to you. I will try to be as respectful as I can to those involved.  Mostly for my children.  So, my story will be about me.  How I felt…How I coped.  This won’t be a pretty story, but honest and real.  I understand that there are so many women who have been through the same thing.  It’s for you that I write this. This will come in parts.  Writing about this isn’t easy and will come as I can.   So, here we go… Have you ever had a moment in your life that stands out from the rest?  A moment when life seems to stand still?  When you suddenly realize that most of what you thought to be true about your life was not as it seemed? A moment when you physically felt a shift.  The only way I can describe it is that it felt like a crack in the earth under my feet.

Dating Advice For Women Over 50!

What I’ve Learned. Part One Starting to Date in your 50’s and beyond is daunting at best.  When I started dating after my divorce, I pretty much made it my full-time job.  Now, the wisdom of embarking on this project in my state of “unhealed trauma” was questionable at best. The vigor with which I applied myself to this journey was impressive.  So said my cohorts in crime, my other single friends.  I went on countless dates.  In the course of my travels among the single men population who are 50 plus, I learned a few things.  I hope my experience will help you if you’re in a similar situation. First of all, it is mostly a numbers game.  There are a few good quality prospects.  The problem is that you have to sift through the bad ones to find the good ones.  The truth is, most men who are single 50-plus are alone for a reason.   My first piece of advice is…don’t put up with any shit. Haha, but true.  If you ever feel disrespected, leave immediately.  It’s astounding the way men think they can treat us, even at our age.  Spare no feelings when it’s time to duck

Menopause Symptoms No One Talks About!

Menopause symptoms no one talks about. I had always heard that Menopause was gonna be rough.  However, I never thought too much about it.  I remember a few people mentioning something about hot flashes and a dry vaginal area and not having to worry about birth control anymore. (Praise the Lord!

Getting Ready For My 6 Week Life Reset Trip!

I’m getting so excited to go back to Laguna Beach next week!  This trip is a huge part of my 6 week reset. If you read my previous post about that trip you’ll see why I decided this has to be a yearly Mother/Daughter trip. I’ve been buying some new clothes to wear and things to take.  I’ve lost weight since last year at this time so that’s fun. I live close to the mountains and love to enjoy nature up in the canyons.  However, the beach is my happy place.  I don’t swim in the ocean which is funny since I love the beach so much.  I’m too afraid of sharks haha.  Swimming in that huge ocean and not knowing what’s below is so scary to me.  I love just putting my feet in.  Oh I have been brave at times and gotten in.  I just don’t love it.   What is it about sitting in the sun while the waves roll in and out with a good book? The sound of the waves and the smell of the sea. It’s just the most peaceful place. I’ve been thinking about what books to read and what to write while I’m there.
