I have been thinking a great deal lately about transitions. I am forever amazed that the definition of feminine mystique changes so radically during the course of a woman’s life.

When, 30 years later, circumstances led me elsewhere, we always found a path back, even for a short break in life’s chaos; the Florida Keys, Block Island, and now Cabo San Lucas became sanctuaries.
