Thank you! I love hearing that.

Here’s the most recent review of #SingleAtHeart on Amazon. It is so heartening when the book resonates with readers. No one should ever feel that being single makes them inferior. Single life can be a path to flourishing. amazon.com/Single-Heart-R…

For those of us who are #SingleAtHeart , our most brilliant life is single life. We are happy and flourishing because we are single, not in spite of it. belladepaulo.com/single-at-hear…

Thank you! I didn't know about it.

'It's one thing if you feel ostracized . . . and want to be around others more of the time,' DePaulo says. 'But if you love solitude and have all the time to yourself that you want and need, that's a superpower.' #SingleAtHeart apollopublishers.com/index.php/sing…

Congratulations! Very exciting.
