2021 – The Year I Was Featured in Time Magazine

I was featured in an article in Time Magazine. Those are words I never thought I’d type!

The author of an article on seniors dating during/after the pandemic approached the Hope for Widows admins to ask if they had any bloggers who fit this description: over 60, fully vaccinated, and dating.

That’s me!

After an interesting 45-minute phone interview, the article’s author, Tara Law, asked if the magazine could send a photographer to my home and if I’d do a Zoom/video interview. Of course, I agreed to both.

The result was my 15 minutes of fame. The article is titled, “America’s Single, Fully-Vaccinated Seniors Are Looking for Love Again.”

Thank you to Hope for Widows for providing this fun and exciting adventure.
