Loved this! 🩷 It really makes me think- what would I do more of, and why would I wait? And as a Gen Xer myself, I loved the flashback to the CK heels and pencil skirts! 😊

I hope you don't wait, Tawnyea! And I miss my CK strappy sandals. x

I absolutely loved this story!!! It's so awesome that the "date" turned into a marriage! I'm taking steps to create a life I love. I'm moving from Nebraska to Virginia at the end of the year because I want to. My ultimate goal is to live in England, but I need to see if I can live this far away from my family first. I detail my reasons why here: https://melissaamateis.substack.com/p/taking-the-leap

Glad you liked it Melissa. England is a quick six-hour flight from the US! You can do it, you would find an entirely new supportive network in the UK.

I live in Nebraska right now - so it’s always been pretty much a 24-hour travel journey to get to the UK. BUT, I am moving to the east coast (Virginia) at the end of the year and I can’t wait to just have a direct flight to the UK!
