On Earth Day of 2012, Karen Schultz decided to try out a new spiritual home. “I had been going through a rough time and was overwhelmed by all the love and acceptance at First Unitarian Church of Orlando,” she says. “I cried through the whole service.” She and Christine Dance had some mutual friends, and Karen came over to say hello.
“She had the most beautiful eyes I’d ever seen,” says Christine. The following week, their mutual friends were going out of town and had asked Christine if she would sit with Karen at church. “I thought I was just being friendly and welcoming, but I decided to ask her out to lunch afterward.” Christine had been divorced for more than two years, but had decided not to start dating again until her oldest son went to college in August 2012.
