An older woman discovers the joys of navigating the internet despite a diagnosis of cancer.

Paris Venus was feeling old, lonely, fat, and depressed when Senior FriendFinder popped up on her computer screen. A dating site for old people? The lowest tier of membership was free, so she filled out a profile, listing her age as sixty-one and noting she was widowed. For Sex, she wrote, When I get a chance before adding, Okay, female. For Weight, she said Generously curvy. She also started sharing some of her deepest thoughts and daily adventures through something called a blog. Hundreds of people started reading her posts, and she even started to meet some fellow bloggers in person. When she was blindsided by a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, the former recluse did not crawl back into her shell. Instead, she embraced being a woman who enjoys lifesomeone with supportive friends and a sister to love and someone who learned that its never too late to choose to be happy. Join an older woman who discovers the joys of the internet while refusing to let cancer extinguish her newfound zest for life in Journeys of a Parisdreamer.
