1. The best thing in my life was my daughter, although raising her wasn’t the thing I did best.

2. I count myself blessed that I am able to divide my life between Geneva and Argelès

3. From the time I was four I wanted to be a writer. My friend Susan, tired of hearing me say it, pushed me into doing it by demanding what was stopping me. The answer was me.

4. I didn’t know or love my father until I was adult.

5. My mother was my worst enemy in my 20s, 30s, 40s but now I can let some of the earlier good memories come in.

6. Learning French was the hardest intellectual thing I ever did and I am not through. Although I would love to make Arabic my next language, I doubt that I will ever be able to do more than basics.

7. I still wish I had blown the whistle on my ex when he was spying on our neighbors for the government in the late 1960s.

16. I take friendships and commitments very seriously.

17. If I ever have to own a car again I will feel like I have failed at a major goal, to be car free.
