A beautiful (self)reflection of your time abroad. Thank you for sharing! I loved Esther Perel’s take on AI. Then again, I’d listen to her recite nursery rhymes I love her so much.
Thanks for taking the time to comment, Michelle! Perel is perhaps the most eloquent speaker I have ever heard. Everything that comes out of her mouth feels like gold, goodness and truth.
Wonderful! I like to think that sharing my voice—through journals, blogs, whatever “out there” presence I create—will be a share future generations (particularly of mine!) will hear my story. The things I’d love to know about my ancestors, I think maybe in the present I can create that for my future ones.
Thanks for your thoughts, Kari. I think a lot will change, especially in this digital age, in terms of what our descendants can know about us. Of course, nothing can replace the "lived" experience of knowing another person, but there is also a lot of magic in imagining those we cannot meet for ourselves. I feel the same way as you, which was a lot of the impetus behind writing Lights to Guide Me Home. I ultimately wrote it for my children, so that they might understand a part of me one day. How long that book lasts beyond them... well that's a story yet to be told!

Absolutely. I’m such a sucker for that accent! Also, she’s brilliant and so insightful. We’re seeing her when she’s in town in the fall. I can’t wait!
Oh, that's amazing! I would love to see her in person.
