Finding Yourself in San Miguel de Allende

I’ve only been home from San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, for a few days and already, something that I thought was merely wonderful has taken on an air of magic. Part of this feels normal and natural: Don’t you find you are fully aware of how great a trip was only after a sleep back in your own bed?

How to Share an Egg by Bonny Reichert
“Grief is not what I thought it would be. It comes over me at random moments- a pressure behind the eyes. A crawling under the skin. My insides feel disorganized and chaotic.

How to Share an Egg by Bonny Reichert
“Someone can love you as much as it's possible to love. He can guide you and shield you and tell you everything he knows.

Nobody knows the path you're supposed to take; the decisions you must make to define your own journey toward independent selfhood. That job is yours and yours alone.”
