This was also the first project that was mine alone—not tied to Barack or his administration or the lives of our kids or to some part of my previous career. I loved the independence, but I also felt myself far out on a new limb, vulnerable in ways I’d never been before.
It is wonderful and amazing how often we can reinvent ourselves in a single lifetime, if we allow it to be. I like to say I’m on my 6th or 7th life, and I’m still not done, still not sure who I’ll be when it’s time for me to go.
