What is P2YL?

This is what I wrote in my diary ⬆️ all those years ago when my husband had walked out on me and I had to face this big and desperately unwelcome change in my life.


If you want to know more of my own background and story you can find it here:


For me Part 2 was being left on my own after an unwanted divorce. I thought all chance of happiness had gone. How was I going to create 'Part 2 Of My Life'? 


Later I turned 'Part 2 Of My Life' into 'Part 2 Of My (Love?) Life' when I realised how important it was for me to share my life with someone special who is as committed to me as I am to him.


It's also about being able to 'love life' again. To feel deeply that life is worth living even if it's not perfect and has its tough times.


Part 2 Of Your (Love?) Life happens when you find your life cut into a 'before’ and an ‘after’.


It's when you want to change and build yourself up as a woman.

Cut to the present


That was twenty years ago. I learnt a lot along the way and found new contentment and satisfaction, and yes, love and commitment from a special man.


And so I believe can you.

I share encouragement, hope, and the tips and tricks I picked up, in fortnightly emails direct to your Inbox.
