We have so much to talk about! I want to know how you reawakened your life after you raised your children and they left the nest.

I want to know if you felt free—and if freedom was frightening and delighting at once.

I want to know if you felt young and agile again—ready to try something new, like travel, writing a book, falling in love.

I want to know if you discovered something that was truer than true.

I knew you had stories to share! All of this was confirmed at a pop-up book party for Boundless last month at the splendorous Sandia Bar in Corrales, New Mexico.
