The (Scary) Bad Date, Some Outrageous Comments, The Disappointing…

The (Scary) Bad Date, Some Outrageous Comments, The Disappointing Fix-Up, and a Couple of the Good Ones

Hello and welcome to Loving Later Life! I am Nancy Lang Gibbs your host, and this month I’m sharing some of my crazy ass dates and relationships. Last week was one of the more intense sagas, so this week, instead of the super soapy saga I was going to share, (I’ll save it for another time) I thought I’d share one that had some very funny moments before it became scary.

After that, I have some one-liners from dates and almost dates that were so awful and absurd I had to write them down. Then a quick story of one that was actually a fix-up that turned sour, and lastly, to close out the episode and the month on a more positive note, I share about a couple of the good guys, even though they didn’t work out.

And I want to say again, I’m sharing these because we all have stories and there are numerous benefits of sharing our stories for the storyteller and the listener.

In fact, I invite you to please record a voice memo, or write a story of yours and send it to me so I can share it. And if you’d like to be a guest on LLL, let me know so we can discuss that possibility.

Not be missed take-ways:

For these stories, the take-away’s I believe are similar. Trust yourself. That gut feeling, that whisper of a voice inside you. Trust it over others. If you feel uncomfortable in a situation, leave. If you are being treated badly whether it’s emotionally, verbally, or physically; get out. Just get out. You will figure it out from there. Things will work out, just get out.

And your mission, that I hope you’ll choose to accept…

Rinse and repeat the takeaways.

 

Thank you so much for listening! And until the next time, live passionately, vulnerably, and keep loving later life!

VIRTUAL LOVE…OR SO I THOUGHT (MY FIRST POST-DIVORCE DATING…

VIRTUAL LOVE…OR SO I THOUGHT
(MY FIRST POST-DIVORCE DATING DISASTER)

It’s time for me to share one of my dating/relationship stories. This story took place back somewhere around 2007ish…and I was a very different iteration of myself than I am now. When I look back and see what I accepted as acceptable behavior toward me, it makes me cringe.

So without further judgement of myself, it is time to tell you about my first relationship post-divorce, and one of the worst. I can almost guarantee you won’t be bored! Sit back, relax, and join me on this hell-of-a ride!

Not be missed take-way:

If you ever hear your inner voice talking to you, or feel a pain in your gut from someone’s words or behavior ….RUN, don’t walk in the other direction.

And your mission, that I hope you’ll choose to accept…

My Mom: Sharing Her Stories of Love, Adventures, Loss…

My Mom:
Sharing Her Stories of Love, Adventures, Loss and Moving Forward

Welcome to LLL this is Nancy Lang Gibbs your host, and I am very excited to get right to this episode. Why?

Because, my special guest is none other, than my Mom! AKA Elaine Lang Ockner.

So, you may be wondering how my mom falls under the category of this month’s theme of dating, relationships etc…

Let me tell you a little something about my mom, without any spoiler alerts….

My mom is 84 and telling it like it is, and how it was…to be a 19-year-old bride, then divorced and dating in a whole new world. She experienced things in her 40’s for the first time in her life, which she shares openly and honestly. She shares some highs (literally) and some lows. Through it all she is driven by her love for her family, her music, and her whimsical zest for life.

And now, I am so proud to introduce you to, my mom, Elaine Lang Ockner…

 

Not be missed take-ways:

The take-aways for this episode are more cumulative than bullet points. To sum it up, it comes down to knowing you can handle what life throws at you. Have gratitude and appreciate what you have. Remember that when things are tough, this too shall pass…until the next time that this too shall pass; and in between, have fun! Keep going, take time to think about things, and keep moving forward and enjoy new things in life. It’s never too late.

And your mission, that I hope you’ll choose to accept…

Read the take-aways again. And again. Now go try something new, go someplace new, eat something new, and you will open up your world. It’s not too late.

 

Thank you so much for listening! And until the next time, live passionately, vulnerably, and keep loving later life!
