I Am Maria

By the time you read this Sunday morning, I’ll be on a plane flying east for the start of my book tour. No doubt I’ll be looking out the window.

I won’t just be staring at the clouds or the sun as I normally do, nor will I be contemplating the vastness of the earth below me. I’m going to try and keep my head and heart from focusing solely on the devastating earthquake and the extraordinary loss of life in Myanmar, which is what I’d normally be doing. On this day I’ll be taking this moment to myself to sit in gratitude and reflect on the journey that has brought me to where I am today.
