running husband light
For true downtime, I enjoy going for light runs, having drinks with friends and going to the movies with my husband.
husband shoes laughing
Well, shoes, bags and clutches are usually my big weaknesses - my husband always laughs when I call them 'investment pieces.
perfect trying impossible
I try to recognize that there is no such thing as having it all - and it's impossible to be perfect. You just have to let certain things go.
book choices want
A theme in a lot of my books - and in my own life - is making choices that you feel you should make, or what society wants you to make, as opposed to what is truly right for you.
character writing long

mother hate opposites
I remember that my mother once told me that the opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference.
secret who-we-are doe
I've always been intrigued by the power of secrets. When is it justifiable to keep them from the ones we love? And does keeping them irrevocably change who we are?
missing
I miss us, too. I always have, and probably always will
towels want failing
He threw in the towel before we were tested. Maybe because he didn't want to be tested. Maybe because he assumed we would fail. Maybe because, at the time, he just didn't love me enough.
