Hey you!
It’s me, Elle.
Writer of good things for women. Some naughty, All nice.
Welcome to Elle’s adventures as she navigates her way through yet another divorce. But, this time is different. ALL of her children are grown and out of the house.
What kind of fun can be had as she really and truly loves love. However, her recent divorce was a little harder than the others. Mainly because now she’s in her 60’s and dating in this time is remarkably different.
Plus….this ex husband was a porn addict and had long stopped “looking” at her in the bedroom.
She was READY for ALL the adventures she could be a part of.
And afraid at the same time. What would this be like?
Before we get into some of the stories, let me tell how I got my name.
They call me El but its spelled Elle: El from Eleonora and Le from Lewis. It was my mothers way of being clever, including naming me after a beautiful woman she had met just one time, in a hallway, while on a trip to Rome, Italy. I’d heard this story so many times growing up: My adventurous mother staying at a Bed and Breakfast, the owner pops in to check the room next to hers just as she was leaving to explore the city, and then just behind him was one of the most stunning women my mom had ever seen, The owner introduced her as “my girlfriend, Eleonora.” But if you’ve ever heard an Italian man speak a women’s name, you know it sounded much more like he was making love to her simply by saying her name. It was a perplexing combination of red hot passion, and slow, deliberate, grace. Quite simply, it was like sex oozing out of his beautiful mouth as his palpable lust and husky voice betrayed him. My mom was kind enough to add the “adult” words after I was old enough but I grew up knowing that my mother had hoped by naming me Eleonora, I would be just as beautiful as the Italian woman in the hallway in Rome.
With my dark hair and fair skin, I could easily pass for Italian. Until I open my mouth and my American comes out in full!
My hope, by sharing these stories and experiences, is that women can see that it is always a good time to put yourself first. I want to encourage you to be bold in all that you do and to never be afraid of stepping into the unknown. It’s quite beautiful here.
