I liked the book more than I had expected! Interesting to find out a bit of Bogart private life, and, also to learn the same of Lauren Bacall. The last chapter reveals how things have  changed the way we live our lives!!!!

Nobody else told me that I could do it on our own and then James came along. Very few write that make instant connect.

I want to give this to my daughter who is 17 but book contains some swear words that prevents me from doing that so this book will be in my kindle library for some time before I can share.

I too am trying to ideate and do something on my own. This book gives me tools to do it at least to try.

Thanks for the wonderful book James.

I should have submitted my own story. Makes me feel connected knowing that there are other women out there just like me.

I was widowed at age 39 after my husband lost his battle with cancer. Most of my mourning was done during his illness, and I was almost grateful when his fight ended. I immediately visited my mother, who was also widowed young. We spent hours talking about my future as a single woman. Her best advice was to put one foot in front of the other and move on. That chapter of my life was over; thus it was time to start anew.

As a career woman, I could easily return to my long days as a member of a startup company. Aside from the intense work, I realized the number of friends I had in the company. Most were young and single and made an effort to include me in their activities. I also had my family and other supportive friends. During this time, I began to relish my alone time. Although I missed my husband, I felt free as a bird. I was responsible only to myself.

I heeded the advice of many who discouraged making drastic changes. This is where Elizabeth Berg and I parted ways. There is a huge difference between being alone and being lonely. I could not imagine any thing less palatable than selling my home and renting a room in a house with three strangers, all of whom carried baggage. I realize that I was lucky to be able to keep my house and maintain my lifestyle, but if that had not been the case, I would have downsized to an apartment. To me, there was something pathetic about the road trip. In fact, the entire scenario, which I feel sure was intended to make the reader feel warm and fuzzy was completely unrealistic to me.

I ultimately remarried, but I have many single woman friends who value their independence. Like my mother, they relish being alone. All of them lead active lives, but they prefer to set the rules. None of them needs to move to the equivalent of a sorority house to avoid loneliness because they are not lonely.

To me. Elizabeth Berg is selling women short. Would a widower sell his house and move in with a bunch of guys? As someone who has experienced marriage and widowhood, I have no doubt that I would have been happy on my own. We women are much stronger than we are given credit for!

Very fun! I have recently been spending a lot more time alone and (as a die hard list maker) this book was perfect and enjoyable for those nights that I needed to do a little self reflection. I like that there are two pages for each list, so I normally make my own list on the second page. For example, if it says "list 36: everything you love to do outdoors" I might write "list 36.5: List things I'm determined to see/do this winter"
