Life is about the gray areas. Things are seldom black and white, even when we wish they were and think they should be, and I like exploring this nuanced terrain.
From Emily Giffin
Everyone wants to belong, or be a part of something bigger than themselves, but it's important to follow your heart and be true to yourself in the process.
Often I feel that projects overwhelm us when we look at how many hours are involved until completion. But just getting started is usually not that difficult.
It's a funny thing - when I'm crazed with work, spending time with my children relaxes me. Yet, at the end of a long weekend with them, the very thing I need to relax is a little work and time away from them!
For true downtime, I enjoy going for light runs, having drinks with friends and going to the movies with my husband.
Guilt is a supreme waste of time and energy.
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?
I think it's important to try to be present with whatever it is you're doing. And if you can't be present, take a break.
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.
I try to write about real women, real people - in other words flawed characters.
