Author Description

After surviving a pleasantly dysfunctional home, frequent mental imprisonments, and a divorce from a man who made life nearly always miserable, I went on the search to find my life partner because, clearly, I'm a masochist.My mode of meeting a new mate? Online dating, of course!I wanted to find a companion, and what I found was a bucketful of entertaining personalities that caused me to pause and reflect on why these bizarre experiences kept happening.

It took me a long time to realize that this part of life's design can be messy and ugly and ruthlessly humiliating, but it's well worth it when you can splash a little color in the dark corners of experience.
