Hope renewed!

I love this book and have taken it to heart. It's a wonderful compendium of stories about people who married for the first time after 40. By providing "models" of experience the authors show how it really is possible to have what you want in your life, even if you're at an age where most people think there must be something wrong with you if you're not married yet. This book helps you move through the mental blocks or internalized projections that may be in the way of having the relationship you really want. I'm 44 and only recently have begun to feel that I'm really "ready" to be married, and I really could identify with those in the book who delayed marriage but woke up to how much they really wanted it in their 40s. I must also comment on how sensitively this book is written; it's free of psychological jargon and the authors clearly feel deeply about this subject. A very soulful and inspiring book. I highly recommend the first chapter on Choice vs. Chance for anyone who feels stalled in their "search" for the relationship they really want and needs to be reminded of the magic of synchronicity.
