An online acquaintance of mine met with her divorce attorney last week to begin the sad proceedings that will bring her marriage to an end. Included in the informational packet she received was an article titled “Two Divorces Too Many,” which I wrote.
About 12 years ago, I published an Op-Ed in the Hartford Courant, which was picked up by the Washington Post-LA Times wire service and published in newspapers and magazines around the country.
The Houston Chronicle. The Orlando Sentinel. The LA Times. The Washington Post.
You can still find it online today, in many newspaper archives and on the websites of parenting and family magazines.
The piece really got around.
So much so, in fact, that this attorney has apparently made it part of the material that he distributes to clients. And by a stroke of luck, I found out.
Luck, I say, because one never knows how his or her words will be used once they are sent out in the world.
So to discover that a divorce attorney is distributing my piece in hopes that it might provide his clients with some perspective on a difficult situation warms my heart.
I also want a cut of the action.
