Note from LivyHave you ever wanted to run away from it all?I did. I mean I did want to, and I did do it.When Marco cheated on me, I thought my entire world would crash around me. The next morning, I picked myself up by my bootstraps, had my cousin Tony, our lawyer draw up some dissolution papers and presented to them to Marco. It wasn't that easy.We were best friends. Lovers. My only one. What I learned is that sometimes, you lose your way and you need to find it again before you make some big decisions like divorce. He let me go so I ran. I met some amazing people on my journey I saved a Loon in Minnesota. Talked to my dead grandmother's spirit in a sweat lodge and experienced the meaning of life and death from a powerful Shaman. I learned to ride horses in Wyoming. Could have ridden a cowboy too but thought better of it. Why complicate my life more than it was? Or his too. Casper had his own situation to deal with while I dealt with mine. I learned to surf in California. Fell in love. Not what you are thinking. Got my heart broken, again not what you are thinking and left before he could apologize. Became ill in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Marco flew there to nurse me back to health. The cheating husband, Marco. He drove with me to New Orleans. I'll be damned, I learned that I'm not really 100% Italian. Oh, what secrets the Bianchi family has been keeping. I lost loved ones along the way. Mine and Marcos roles have been reversed. I'm the rock and he now is depending on me for support. I have come full circle on this little trip around the states. I have found the woman I was meant to be. Marco and I will be fine in time. We will heal because along the way, I learned the power of forgiveness.Minor language / some sexual scenes preferably not for under the age of seventeen
