Together Forever Kayla Robertson, a physician’s assistant working long hours at a hospital in Louisville, is in a new relationship with boyfriend John Williams — they’ve been dating just five, blissful months. “In hindsight, maybe he should’ve gone home and isolated himself from me,” Kayla says about the couple’s decision to quarantine together. “But it [...]

Divorce papers filed, rental home secured, ready to go. Here I was, midlife, ready to embark on a new horizon of joy and passion and independence. I was finally, as my therapist likes to remind me, going to get my needs met. So in March, on Friday the 13th, I moved out of my family’s house into a posh [...]

Take some time to reflect on the trials and tribulations in your past life and how those times contribute to the fullness and richness of your current life.
