I DIDN’T KNOW
I WAS LEAVING
FOREVER.


I'd lived in that beautiful apartment for just three months.
When I left Spain, I expected to be gone for a couple of months. I needed space. I needed clarity. I thought I'd be back.
Then COVID happened, and the borders closed. That unexpected distance gave me the chance to understand what was really happening in my marriage. By the time I could return, I knew I wouldn't.
That experience became the beginning of The Selfish Year, my published memoir about what happens when a woman begins living on her own terms.
That's one of the lessons I'm bringing to WIDE OPEN. You don't need to know the ending of your story to begin making a different choice.
