“I made the executive decision in our home to sell the house and move to New Mexico for no reason at all. Nobody had a job, I was seven months pregnant, and we just up and went and lived there for a year. That was a little surprising. I didn’t realize I could be that either irrational or bold. But in retrospect, [it was] good. Sometimes you have to make a leap, and you don’t know why. There’s a little voice inside your head that says ‘do this ridiculous thing that makes no sense,’ and sometimes you just do it and see what comes of it.”
