    RE: Do you agree that sometimes it's necessary to change everything in your life? Have you ever had the opportunity to do that, or have you dreamed about doing that?
    I don’t necessarily feel that Eve and Sally’s lives absolutely had to change so drastically. Small adjustments can sometimes bring great improvement. However, there are times when a complete refresh is the best way to move forward and get away from long-standing habits. It’s certainly fun to imagine!

    RE: Do you agree that sometimes it's necessary to change everything in your life? Have you ever had the opportunity to do that, or have you dreamed about doing that?
    At the time we moved aboard Ondine, our 42' sailboat, our younger son had just left for college, the house was empty, we were ready for new adventures. Life becomes simpler in a small space; allows for new thoughts, new ways of organizing time and challenges adjusting to what you give up.
