Should you date a separated man? Let’s put it this way… I did. Then I married him. So, my answer is, Hell Yes! To be clear, I would never encourage you to go out looking for separated men to date. I didn’t. In fact, I didn’t notice Larry’s profile said he was separated until I […]
The Kavanaugh hearings are freaking painful. Personally, I’ve tried to go on some kind of news blackout but it’s unavoidable. It’s everywhere in the news. (Real and fake news *choke*.) Everyone is talking about it. A lot, including me, are crying about it. It’s man vs. woman; conservative vs. progressive; Fox vs. MSNBC; victim vs. […]
“Intuition is truly a feminine quality, but women should not mistake rash conclusions for this gift.” Minna Antrim How much should you pay attention to your instincts about dating and love? The other day I was listening to my friend tell me about her 25 minute “date” with this guy “who had nothing going for […]
Newsflash: Women constantly push really good guys right out of their lives as they wait for some fantasy man. We usually don’t even know we’re doing it. Finally having this pointed out to me in my early 40s was a huge part of my transition from a pretty happy single gal to, at age 47, […]
Are you just a little (or a lot) scared of dating? Or maybe of actually entering into a relationship? You’re NOT alone! I’ve been helping women over 40 find passionate, grownup love since I became a first-time bride in 2006. When these smart, independent, accomplished women come to me for support, almost 100% admit that […]
The general belief is that you learn a lot about someone by knowing about their past marriages and romances that didn’t work out. Find out the details about his past relationships and you’ll get a good idea of whether he’s a good guy, right? When we’re dating after 40, the men we’re meeting have decades […]
If you’re a smart, accomplished woman who wants to attract smart men, but you think men don’t want to date you because of your smarts…think again. While it’s true that some men prefer less “challenging” women, the guy you’re looking for – the interesting, mature accomplished man – has “smart” toward the top of his […]
Definition: “Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way: on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally.” Jon Kabat-Zinn Sounds simple and kinda easy, right? Wrong! Why do you think Zen Buddhist monks meditate for decades to get to the place of mindfulness and nirvana? You do not have to be a monk to use […]
It’s a fact: when you are dating to find love, especially later in life, taking the slower road may be the best AND the quickest path. I admit that I love when I’m proven right. (Who doesn’t?) Especially when it comes to the things I teach, encourage and nag you to do in order to […]
I’m writing this as my husband, Larry, and I drive back from our little hideaway in Baja. When we go, Larry takes care of most everything. Making the plans with our friends, grabbing the passports and pesos, prepping the car, schlepping bags; I love it. That always reminds me how grateful I am to have finally […]
