After divorce we feel defeated in love. We might stop believing in it altogether.
We may be spending what little energy we have left after the battle, providing and being there for our children. We’ve stopped believing in fairy tales but the time will come eventually when we look forward to new relationship(s).
Maybe we’re even looking for that perfect fit we call love. You know what I mean…that someone out there who holds the key to our heart, if only we knew where to find them!
In my mind I’m not the older woman because I’m 22, don’t ya know? However, the calendar begs to differ. Last year I celebrated my 50th spin around the sun and the number still stuns me, just a little. So, any-who, men have been doing it since the dawn of time. They’ve been enjoying the beauty of much younger women. To the older woman’s vexation, it’s perfectly acceptable—a feather in his cap.

I get many questions coming in from readers all over the world. I like to feature a question that many women can relate to. It’s valuable to share and discuss common questions readers have about their divorce but sometimes I get questions about a failing marriage. I usually respond in a gentle way. Here on the blog we can explore this scenario further. I can be a little more harsh…tell it like it is as they say.

We think it’s the right dress for us. We loved that color at the time…but now looking back at an old photo we wonder “What was I thinking?”
Huge shoulder pads, ‘pleather’ pants, floral material at the bottom of our bell bottom jeans. Pea green skirts and dresses to match our appliances. Stirrup pants with white boots? Onesies—oh they’re back, baby but you won’t catch me in one.
How about the Grunge era? Did you have a man to match your baggy plaid shirt, Doc Martins and greasy hair? Kurt Cobain was kind of hot.
Ryan Reynolds would make a dreamy handyman
Warning: this post is full of double meanings and suggestive scenes. Ladies, have you found your HANDYMAN yet? Every ‘single’ woman needs a HandyMan on her speed dial. Preferably, he’ll know how to use a variety of tools to fix your broken toilet OR your broken heart…”hey Baby, I’m your handy man…” As James Taylor crooned back in the day.
I originally wrote this as a guest writer. The site owner pulled it off her site when she was warned by Google that it is considered p*rn. It’s hardly p*rn. With the trailer for the film version of the 50 Shades book series released, I thought it timely to share this post with you.
10 Red flags that indicate your new man is a SHARK and NOT a fish.
Divorced women become unwitting prey for sharks skimming along just below the surface. They’re under the radar with their fin and teeth well hidden. They’re floating in bars, restaurants, social media and dating sites.

Who holds the key to your heart?
Last spring I posted Finding Your Inner Sex Goddess. We talked about our sensuality and using all of our senses to feel sexy again. Consider this to be Part II of that post because you’re sexy and you know it! I recently read on Huffington Post that women are happier and feel sexier after divorce.
