This is it….
My final morning in the states. I imagine people who are dying experience the same longing to stay and yet, go on to the next life. It is an adventure but there is so much left behind. Olive woke me up at 4:30 am in her usual way. Her paw gently touching my face. I…

2 days to go
Two full days left and I am definitely on edge. I am terrified and excited at the same time. Will I be able to manage? Am I doing the right thing? Moving to Sweden is crazy ðĪŠ. Who does that? Someone in a crazy crisis. People get divorced all the time. It is a difficult…

Life goes on
Today marks 2 months since my husband of almost 23 years moved out of the family home. We had been having discussions prior to this but I had decided everything would be ok. We were just going through a rough patch. Alas, that was not how it went. He took a few days to think,…
