Dan Savage ruined my marriage. But he saved my life.

Wisdom of a single advice columnist changed everything.

When I moved out, I took only the clothes I could carry, my old writing desk, my new office chair, and the books on my keeper shelf.

Walking out of a two-decade-long marriage was the easy part. Getting my self-esteem back was much harder.

Once I healed enough to realize I was okay, I was ready to start dating again. #50firstdates was born. Fifty dates seemed like enough to meet Mr. Right or at least Mr. Right Now.

Dating in middle-age was nothing like I thought it was going to be. Follow me on my real-life journey...as I search for my next big love.

This is my own Crazy. Beautiful. Love. Story.
