Glad to hear from you in England Susan! “Under the Tuscan Sun” is an interesting “Hollywoodized” take on divorce, but parts of it definitely ring true. Glad to hear from you in England Susan!

I had read “Under the Tuscan Sun” but only saw the film recently when a friend gave me a VHS version she’d picked up in a local charity shop here in the UK. And yes, that line about divorce not killing you resonated powerfully with me too – I think it must have provoked a collective intake of breath amongst divorced women in cinemas across the nation! What you said about his lack of emotion and your discovery of how unsuited you were as a couple - how true for me too. I agree with so much that you say here.

Some transformations seem to require the kind of vulnerability that accompanies extreme loss or grief. Nature often reveals new self-knowledge to us and thus serves as a catalyst for transformation. It's a lasting change for the better that springs from a radically shifting your perspective of who you are. Meaning and purpose become more clear to you, and things that are out of alignment in your life gradually fall away. But the most fundamental change is within you; it is a profound shift in where you direct your attention and your intention. The new self-awareness reveals a more expanded world of relationships than you previously perceived while you gain new perspectives and definitions of self. Seeing with new eyes allows for a new understanding of yourself and your unfolding. This most essential change, the one from which all other changes spring, is a change in your worldview and your perception of what is possible.
