💌Who Remembers Dear Abby? 💋

[Lola 💋]

Oh, I used to love Dear Abby! There was something irresistible about reading other people’s letters. The romantic disasters, the embarrassing secrets, the wonderfully complicated messes we humans manage to get ourselves into. And Abby had a gift for it. She could make you laugh, make you think, and occasionally see something about yourself you’d never considered before.

Now, imagine the letters she’d have received from THIS crowd. 😳

Well, I’ve been cooking up a little something…

Introducing Dear Lola! 🤓

A brand-new advice blog here on ABF Heaven! Every two weeks, I’ll feature one anonymous letter, offer my take, and then open the floor to the rest of you. Because I suspect some of you have excellent advice of your own. And others will have opinions whether I ask for them or not. 😂

Got something on your mind? A predicament you could use another perspective on? Perhaps a question you’ve never quite had the nerve to ask, or something about yourself you’re still trying to figure out.

I’m interested in all of it. The serious, the silly, and the delightfully inappropriate. Nothing has to be scandalous to be interesting, although I certainly won’t object if it is.

Want to write to Dear Lola?

I’ve created a separate account specifically for your letters. You can find the account here:

@askdearlola

Send your questions there privately, knowing they’ll be treated with care and discretion. If I choose your letter for the blog, it will be published anonymously, with names and identifying details removed. I may make small edits for clarity or privacy, but I’ll always respect the spirit of what you’ve shared. Please leave identifying information about others out of your submissions, too.

And when the blog goes live, everyone is welcome to join the discussion. Just remember, we’re here to explore the question, not put the person who asked it on trial.

After all, there’s something rather wonderful about discovering you’re not the only person who’s ever wondered, worried, or made an absolute fool of yourself over something.

So, what’s the question you’ve always wanted to ask? 💌💋

Love this idea! You’ll be fabulous.

The Boston Globe has a relationship columnist who publishes on Sundays. A lot of common themes, but all good useful stuff. Definitely have not been any ABF-related questions yet 😊

Another wonderful idea. I look forward to reading your column Dear Lola.
