In the past I've always been the type of person to try and fit a square peg in a round hole. I can be very tenacious like that. But since I've had my daughter, I've found that I like the way life unfolds when I give the universe some space to guide me. It took me until my forties to realize that.

If I walk into my house and something is askew, I can't do anything until I fix it. It's so burdensome to live that way.

Falling in love for the first time, and then the heartbreak of having it end, is difficult, but I don't think it would ever hurt as much as when my mother was killed in the boating accident. I feel a part of my heart has already been broken, and that place is reserved for mother.

I thought my mom's whole purpose was to be my mom. That's how she made me feel.

We lose things all the time. We lose ourselves every day. We lose our minds occasionally. But it's just a part of life, loss.

I want people to think about the connection between mothers and daughters. I like the idea of continuity of life and generations.
