I've been looking into European citizenship options, and recently learned that Italy would not work for me. This came as a shock. I always thought I would end up there somehow but now I have to come up with an alternative. Ahh, well. It will always hold a special place in my heart. 

I end the episode with an account of a crazy 30-hour tour of Rome with our teenage kids. Whose idea was that??! 😁

In the midst of a bizarre love triangle I had to start protecting myself. I felt like a pawn in a high-stakes power struggle. I had to reclaim my own voice.

He was a beloved little boy who died too soon. He brought joy and love into our lives when we needed him most and then he exited much too fast and horribly, but we will never forget him.

Does anyone ever talk about a three-quarter-life-crisis? I examine that idea and also dip back into my mid-life-crisis. There was one moment there that was made glorious by an encounter with William Hurt. Whatever else might be said about him, he was a benevolent audience member and a fellow theater maker and I loved him for that.

In the midst of a crazy love affair and trying to put a show on its feet I took off for a Carnival cruise down to the Caribbean with my mom and all the kids. It was a disappointing adventure and one I will never repeat, but I guess at least it was checked off the Bucket List. And I got to hug a dolphin! So there's that. ❤️

As we kick off 2023 let's gently imagine what we want it to be. Perhaps we have been too aggressive in the past few years about insisting on change? Perhaps we need to be more peaceful about how we start this new year? 

I am starting by jumping back and thinking about how I imagined my most passionate love affair would work out. That huge leap of the heart that I had engaged in at the end of 2002. In my imagination it worked out beautifully with respect and generosity. But of course I was only part of the equation...

Where did this tradition of New Year's resolutions come from and why do we continue with it when we know that we are most likely to fail? I explore some of those questions and even a few statistics and then I arrive at a resolution. 😏 Will you make a list this year? Or will you just keep on glowing and being your beautiful flawed self? I hope this new year brings you insight, inspiration and love.
