I was inspired to write and share my story being in the Life Science space as an account manager. I am privileged to have a career calling on specialty medical offices sharing and learning along the way.

Living with a spouse suffering from mental illness and raising my children caused stress in the family dynamics, but also forced me to be creative in finding solutions. There are no cures, but there are medications to help manage the disease and support groups.

When we find ourselves later in life as widows, widowers, or divorced, I discovered it is worth the effort to seek out a new partner to fill the void of missing hugs, kisses, and conversations. Thus, my book title.

It is a healthy approach in life to walk barefoot along the sand on a beach, hand in hand watching the water and waves sharing ideas. Smiles and laughter follow and romance fills the air.
