I've written over 100 posts and interviewed almost as many old people... and I think it's time to say goodbye. I'll leave the site up--maybe I'll even update it every once in a blue moon--but it's time for me to move on. If anyone wants to add their own videos and keep this project going, email me at: lifeadvicefrom@gmail.com and I'd be happy to post your videos and stories on the site.
I think I've asked enough people for advice--and if there's anything I've learned through all of this, it's that I'm doing all right so far. I'm happily married, I have the greatest kid in the world, and I like most of the choices I've made for myself. I've made mistakes--and I'll make many more--but I'll keep trying to better myself. And I'm not afraid to ask for help when I need it. I have friends whose careers I envy, and they look at me and envy my family. We joke about how we each have our struggles. But rather than complain (fine, I complain... but rather than often complain), I just keep working harder. And I've decided to start a new project to help all of my friends who aren't happy being single.
My new blog is called mysinglepeeps.com and I will try at least once a week to post a new single person on my site, and hopefully they can find someone to love and spend the rest of their lives with. In the short time it's been active, I've already set up many friends with dates. If I could see even just one happy marriage come out of this, I'd be ecstatic.
I'm so thankful to all of you from all over the world who have written to me, written about me, or just quietly enjoyed the advice of those who are in the final chapters of their lives. This has been a really rewarding experience for me. I wish the best to all of you.

We will miss Life Advice but continue, I am sure, to enjoy single peeps. Now if we could find some singles in Miami who would be as interesting as the ones you are finding in Los Angeles.
ReplyDeleteHello Seth,
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to reading your blog. A friend of mine mentioned it and I was very intrigued (he's even add it to his own "tips for raising my daughter" page on his FB account). I once thought about volunteering for Hospice with the goal (amongst others) of obtaining this perspective. I'm sorry to hear that you're stopping the posts, but at 100 I imagine I'll get a lot of value. Thanks (in advance) for the material.
I appreciate the note, Michael, and I hope you find something in here you like. Please check in again and let me know if you get any interesting/life changing advice out of it.
ReplyDeleteI’m impressed, I must say. Really rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is outstanding; the issue is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Vinyl Stickers. Glad you're digging it.
ReplyDeleteI like your blog very much and thank you for waking people up with all the new concepts you are offering. Can you show me where can I get some more info on this matter?
ReplyDeleteActually first hand experience of the "you had to be there" variety can seem especially valuable and privileged, but it often remains potentially subject to errors in sense-perception and in personal interpretation.
ReplyDeleteIt`s a pitty, but we will waiting u again! I hope u come back to us!
