This was so wonderful. As a devoted subscriber to Anne’s Substack and a recently divorced late midlife woman bent on reinvention (hello, Barcelona, where I’ll move next spring), her experience and words always speak to my own heart and journey at this stage of life. Anne, so glad you felt that sense of homecoming in Edinburgh. Here’s to continually growing and expanding into our truest selves.
I love this interview with Anne Boyd Rioux. I imagine so many will admire it too, as it get to the heart of life. What makes it exquisitely meaningful, what makes it exquisitely painful. Three months into pandemic lockdown, when my job became an eight-hour Zoom meeting and I realized I was miserable, I turned to my husband and said, I'm quitting my job to write my novel. I now have a wonderful agent, and the novel is in editors' hands for consideration as of last week. This interview reminds me, us, to keep daring; don't let the sleepwalking-through-life creep back in. It's interesting that the interview begins with Anne talking about intense emotion, desire, portrayed in novels. The hunger for true self and the moments of living it--that's intense desire too, of course.

To follow our gut, our intuition… yes! It has been the guiding principle of my life. Not always easy, but always worth it!
Yes, so worth it! 🌸
