Heidi! I had a very similar conversation on a plane recently! I learned so much from Sheila! A Pink Zones woman who was finally finding a space of her own while balancing a loving long-term marriage and a high demand religious community. Breaking a few of the rules of each is helping her enjoy her later life (she lives in her own apartment in Florida away from her husband but close to her best friend 4 months a year and watches football games on the sabbath even though it’s forbidden). Loved hearing how she gives her time and money to an animal rescue. Truly a fabulous meeting! Pink Zones women are such a delight to find!!!

I love this story, Heidi. And you do have a magical knack for serendipitous meetings. I'm SO glad that we met, and hope to get together in real life someday. It's beautiful that you invited this woman to share her story, and that she was willing to share. People are so often closed off from each other. It's really special when a chance meeting leads to such a real conversation. Can't wait to hear more!
