So sorry you were under the weather for so long...what a bummer! But thank you for writing this piece and for putting together Midlife Private Parts! I hope you guys do another edition down the road. I'd love to read more (and contribute to this wonderful community). Happy Holidays, Dina :)
Happiest of holidays to you, Donna, and thank you so much! So happy to have connected with you this yea, and will keep you posted as to any plans for another edition! xx
As always, you captured the year so beautifully. It’s been an honor and a privilege, not only to contribute to Midlife Private Parts and be part of your orbit, but to witness you and Dina step into the spotlight, leading women into conversations that feel so necessary. And empowering.
I’m also so grateful for your unwavering support, and now this generous shoutout, as I debuted my book. What a ride it’s been for us women in our late 50s! Here’s to an even brighter 2026. xx
Thank you Christine! I feel the same! So grateful to you for contributing, and so thrilled to see you usher your beautiful book into the world! Can’t wait to celebrate with you! Cheers to an amazing 2026!
Happiest of New Year’s to you, dearest Dina, and all yours! I’m all behind here, and I’m so sorry you were so poorly, and can imagine the relief when you felt yourself again! The biggest congrats, again, to you and Dina on all you achieved with the book this year, and looking forward to all that’s to come from you both! Excited, too, to read more from you here – love absolutely everything Patina- from your beautiful personal essays to style and beauty finds. Here for it all!! And here’s 🥂🍾 to 🌟2026 🌟, with much love! 💖
