With the premiere of the Golden Bachelor starting later this month, I thought I'd start my own parallel experiment of dating right here and now (even though the very idea makes me queasy) and report back to you. I will also be commenting on the Golden Dude and all that goes on with is bevy of women. It promises not to be boring, so please come with me!

I also want to say Shana Tova, to those who celebrate the Jewish New Year. I'm sending wishes for a year of good health, love, peace of mind, fulfillment, and joy.

Lastly, I want to tell you how exciting it is to see so many women joining in community in the new private Facebook Group: Loving Later Life Listening Community! If you are a woman over 50 listening to this and would like to have a safe space to connect with other women, to feel a part of a community to feel seen, heard, understood and connected please join us! Just go to loving later life listener community on Facebook!
