I’m surprisingly practical in much of my life, but not when it comes to my shoes.
Remember me? I’m back to my old self again. No responsibilities, no attachments, no encumbrances. I don’t want to own anything, love anyone, or get too attached to people, places or things. It’s a rule that seems to work well for me.
If you let life pass you by now, it won’t ever come back. You don’t get another chance.
I wrote because I needed to and wanted to. It never occurred to me that I’d become famous.
You could never predict what would happen. There was an element of destiny in everything that one could never account for.
Who doesn’t need hope in their lives: hope that something can change, that someone cares, that not only bad things happen unexpectedly but good things can happen to us too?
I’m not an aging gracefully type. But I do believe in aging with grace.
No man can take your freedom from you. They can limit your mobility, but that’s about all they can do.

Life, a good life, a great life is about “Why not?” May we never forget it.
A bad review is like baking a cake with all the best ingredients and having someone sit on it.
Not all forms of abuse leave bruises.
I did it at night because I loved it. I never did it to make money, as a job. I just did it because I had to.
It’s been very hard, after being mostly a mom, to develop an adult life of my own. And not being married anymore, I have to come up with challenges.
When you can bring yourself to write about it one day, you will find it all less painful. It is a catharsis of sorts, but the process can be brutal. Don’t do it until you’re ready.
He was gone, and she was broken hearted, that was all that mattered.
What’s ready? Was Steinback ready? Hemingway? Shakespeare? Dickens? Jane Austen? They just did it, didn’t they?
But even she had figured out that there was no point giving up a great job and following him to the ends of the earth, when he simply refused to make any promises about, or even discuss, the future.
