Hello, all! So, I just spoke at Columbia University (it's a different story) and have been TOO TOO TOO busy, but I wanted to share praise from a podcast host for my latest podcast adventure: I wanted to share the wonderful feedback I got from my recent podcast host. I am deeply in the midst of promoting my just published, "ARE RELATIONSHIPS FOR SUCKERS?", based on 54 years with my beloved and the last 7 years sharing advice, insights and practical wisdom on Quora.com where I've accumulated over 34.5 million views and thousands of upvotes and compliments. Although she obviously used AI to write this email, it was still lovely: ""We're deeply grateful for your participation in the We Can Do It Women 60+ Community interview. Your profound insights about enduring love, communication, and surviving life's pressures together deeply resonated with our community. Key moments that stood out: - Your 54 years together through "magnificent and terrible" times—the terrible years mostly from outside pressures (financial, emotional, children's challenges), not from your relationship itself - - Surviving 10 years on welfare after the 2008 financial crisis destroyed Eli's financial industry career—and coming through stronger - - Understanding that romantic love has two stages: the honeymoon stage (lust, attraction, brain chemicals) and enduring love (work, commitment, communication on the deepest spiritual level) - - Your seven years answering relationship questions on Quora—27,000 posts with 34.5 million views—because you witnessed skyrocketing divorce rates and unnecessary heartbreak - - Your advice when relationships hit tough times: rededicate yourself, remember why you fell in love, remember your best moments together, take a weekend away without phones and reconnect - - Your powerful message: "If we can do it, so can you" - We have been sharing your interview across our platforms."
