Female, mature, happily divorced?

I think it is more about being happy to be photographed. It is my understanding that this does indeed involve hair, make up etc. We have had members get involved with this kind of thing before and they have been really happy to have a photo of them looking completely fabulous.
I would be - but sadly am not in the right age bracket (yet).

Some time ago, I was in a monthly magazine, talking about how blogging during my divorce helped me. it was a fabulous experience, not just because of the whirl-wind photo shoot (and Im not photogenic, but with the aid of a great make-up artist and fab photographer, I think I looked fairly presentable), but because its something Im proud to have done, and it marked a real turning point for me. I realised just how far I had come when talking to the journalist, and hoped that perhaps other women reading would realise that Wiki could help them.

I remember quite a few new members joining afterwards, citing that magazine article as their source for hearing about Wiki.

We all share our experiences here freely, I see being part of a magazine article as much the same, sharing out own personal experience of separation and divorce, proving that "ordinary" women (and men) can come through this, and hopefully giving others in the same situation some hope and inspiration.

I personally believe that you would be very inspirational to other women,you strike me as a strong, intelligent and caring woman. Perhaps its something for you to consider in the future?

Thanks Ruby and I really do take your comments as a compliment. However, my story must remain anonymous, so no publication is going to want that!
.
I'll be happy to grab back something of what he took away, the confident, outgoing professional woman I used to be. To get something of that back will be enough for me. I think the magazine wants someone who has turned the crisis into an opportunity.

I look forward to reading the article. Will we be told which mag and publication date?

I think it sounds like hell and I would feel ver sorry for the family and friends and ( dare I say it?) ex husband of the woman.

There is a word that I am trying to live up to in this whole process - that word is dignity.
My divorce is MY business, It is why I chose anomynity on here, it is why I will NEVER go to one of the wiki meets, it is why I do not go in the chat rooms and it is why I am very selective as to who I have on FB.

My opinion of course.. I am sure someone would do it somewhere

I actually like Ruby did an article on blogging in a monthly magazine for wiki and actually found it helped alot. It showed me just how far I had come and I think a few people in my old village had read it because suddenly their attitudes to me changed as I think they saw what a liar he was.

All our circumstances are different.

Any takers???
