Fifty and Friendless: Table for One Please

Fifty and Friendless: Table for One Please is a love letter to every woman who has ever found herself reevaluating friendships in her 40’s, 50’s, and beyond. Inspired by a season of deep personal reflection (and a few sarcastic, yet loving, nicknames from my husband), this book is my honest, heartfelt journey through the unexpected changes in female friendship, and it reveals the surprising joy I found in reconnecting with the one friend I had been neglecting: myself. I share stories that made me laugh, cry, question, grow, and even grieve, and I hope you’ll see parts of your own journey reflected in them. This isn’t about blaming or bitterness. It’s about reflection, honoring the friends who have walked with us, letting go of what no longer fits (even if it wasn’t by choice), and learning that sometimes, the most sacred table you can sit at is the one set for you alone. “Table for One Please!” is more than just a reservation — it’s a declaration that being alone doesn’t mean being lonely. So if you’ve ever felt the ache of friendship loss or the beauty of rediscovering your worth, I invite you to pull up a chair. Let’s laugh a little, cry a bit, and remember that the truest friendship starts with knowing and loving the woman in the mirror.Fifty and Friendless: Table for One Please is a love letter to every woman who has ever found herself reevaluating friendships in her 40’s, 50’s, and beyond.
