Last week I wrote about what could happen if we extended ourselves to a stranger: We might make a new friend. Coincidentally, I caught up yesterday with another woman I met by doing this in Tuscany, almost ten years ago. One who, along with her sister-in-law, have since become dear friends.

Last week, the husband of one of my girlfriends died unexpectedly. I’ve been widowed twice, and I know from experience this comes as a brutal shock. Even when we think we’re doing fine, there will come a time when you hit a brick wall, and the reality of it all descends upon you like a ... Read more ..read more
