Joan, you and I are living in similar universes.

I was forever single too. I loved and lost, struggled and suffered. I could never close the deal and couldn't understand why. Then I did a deep dive into my childhood and got the answers.

Once I had that insight, everything changed. I started to accept and love myself more--including my forever single status. Just as I was doing this, I met a guy who would become my husband. I was 51. We've been married almost 10 years.

Joan, you did the work, you got the info and insight (plus the red couch and fuchsia rug), and you're empowered to live however you want! Congratulations and rock on!

P.S. Just a reminder to leave a little room for love because it's never too late and you're never too old XOXO.
