Wonderful! And so inspiring. Just for the record, I met the man who would become my second husband when I was 58. On a dating site. He’d been online googling what to do when you’re a widower. Had been online a total of 2 hours, one dating site only, and was surprised to find an email from me to him when he woke up in the morning! So you never know, and it’s never too late.

Oh my gosh, Jane! I so love this story! Thank you for sharing ! How encouraging it is, particularly in the swirling sea of negative experiences / struggles we normally hear shared re online dating. With that remarkable timing ( lucky man he is!!), it experience seems to have an element of synchronicity/ destiny to it. I have to say that’s how I feel about meeting my Pink Zones mentors. It feels fated that they crossed my path, and I often get all lit up like with a crush!

I don’t know how I missed this, but I’m so glad I found it now. What a joy! I was going to skip my yoga this morning, but you have made me reconsider. 😊 Thank you for sharing Betty. I’m looking forward to hearing more!

I have to admit Dr. Heidi that when I saw the title for this go by, I thought you were writing about the late, great Betty White who passed when she was 99 just shy of her 100th birthday--another vital, amazing Betty.

Thanks for introducing us to this Betty. I would never guess she's 99. What a great story and experience.

Thanks, Melanie. Wow, so many fabulous Bettys out there... As Melinda Blau (Author of The Wisdom Whispers says, I feel lucky that I got to pick up this Betty as" my old lady". :)

If you recall, one of my old ladies was a Betty, too! Good for you for seeking her out and sitting in the light of her wisdom!

I most certainly remember your Betty! You wrote so beautifully of her. And that's exactly what it's like being with MY Betty :), sitting in the light and sparkle. I have to find a way to share my video clips of her- she is animated and lit up in a way that is hard to describe.

Yes! I know the feeling would be mutual, you two would have a lot to share, Cathy. You'll have to come visit us in Vancouver!
