In my experience, staying in a marriage that my ex and I both agreed had all its best moments behind it was epically depressing.

I always do like seeing other people dance in their cars. It's one of the things that makes me happy.

My own habit had always been to write about the things that ticked me off in a given day. If I kept a journal at all, I kept it to vent.

I think there are different kinds of happiness. We know when we're happy a lot of the time, but then there are those moments that have more of an afterglow, when the happiness has more depth.

When you study postpartum depression, there is a very clear understanding that in communities where you see more support, there is less depression.

A lot of women make choices based on how they saw their mother's choices working out, how they saw the choices of the women elders in their lives working out. There's some rebellion in that, but there's also some deep reflection.

Settling other people's land is an American tradition.
