Every single day, multiple times a day, no matter what I'm doing, my thoughts come back to the same thing. I miss Bryan. I miss my person. I miss our life together. I just want my old life back.![]()

But I'm learning that the longer I hold onto those thoughts, the heavier they become. It's like holding a glass of water. It's not how much it weighs, it's how long you hold it. And eventually, you have to put it down.![]()

Not because you love someone any less or because you've forgotten them, but because you can't spend every moment carrying that sadness.![]()

You'll pick it up again. Of course you will. Probably several times today. But you have to remember to put it down for a moment. ❤️
I made sure I ate plenty bilton before going to India, thinking beef would not be available. I was wrong. In Bengaluru there was beef and even pork on the menus.![]()

If you're determined to find an insult to your country, you'll find one.![]()

I've been fascinated by some of the reactions to my video, "My First 10 Minutes in India."![]()
![]()
As you can see in the screenshots, I show a scruffy street, beautiful modern buildings and some cows wandering down the road. I even say, "How cool is this?"![]()
![]()
Yet some people are furious, accusing me of deliberately showing the worst of India.![]()

Apparently, even stopping to look at cows is offensive. But I LOVE cows! I actually wanted the driver to slow down so I could get a better look!![]()

I also say, "This is mildly terrifying, but I'm walking with confidence."![]()

Yes, I'm travelling solo in India for the first time. Of course it's mildly terrifying, especially as this is my first international trip after losing my husband.![]()
![]()
But here's what I find so fascinating.![]()

Despite all the beautiful and unexpected things I show in that video, some people have focused entirely on one scruffy street and, apparently, a cow!![]()

People outside India are commenting on how surprisingly modern and clean everything looks. Meanwhile, some people in India are accusing me of deliberately showing the worst of their country.![]()

Same video. Completely different interpretations.![]()

Sometimes the criticism isn't in the video at all. It's in the assumptions we bring to watching it.
