She´s been through enough changes – marrying, divorcing and re-marrying, starting and leaving jobs, having a kid , economically stable, no debth. She did it all "by the book" and has managed mostly to be true to her self. (we all get lost in our different roles in life: being the wife, the mother, the friend, the bla-bla) She´s smart, curious, takes care of her mental and physical health. She is a hard and loyal worker but has álways viewed it as a job is just job, not a passion och her identity.
She is 45, just got divorced (it was her choice) and its totally amicable, nevertheless still an emotional toll.
its scary starting over in your mid forties
Her only child is now moving in in his own first aparmtment. 'My friend lives the kid but is super happy to have him live his own lifr. He is a good and put togehter kid
This will be the first time she will live alone – alone. Even inbetween the divorces it has always been her and the son
So, she is really excited to finally be able to live alone, date herself, do stuff just for herself. Having a new relationhip is for now last on her list.
This is also a woman who grew up in a household liek the tvshow Shameless, she bult up an awesome life for herelf and is proud of that. But now, she wants to live a life without rules, norms etc
So guys. any books that would be good for her, not eat -love-pray cause she is intouch with herself.
She has different ideas she would like to implement in her life:
-she loves italy, and can envision being ther 2-4 months per year
-
she thinks life is to short to work 8-17 and is thinking what alternatives there ar, enough to pay bills. she can be frugal
-pilates
Thanks for reading my novel

The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. This is not just about being an artist. There are some exercises such as going on dates by oneself and writing 3 pages that might navigate her through this time.
