My dream, ever since I was a little
girl, was to be a super hero.
Specifically, I wanted to be one of
the Wonder Twins, meeting with
Superman and Wonder Woman at
the Hall of Justice on Saturday
mornings to fight evil and save the
world. Lacking a twin, I got a law
degree instead, thinking it would
give me
evil-fighting super hero
powers.
As it turns out, I was wrong.
Shortly after
realizing that I hated billable hours, I ended (read: fled) my career in law, and
spent the next few years trying to make sense of the world. I couldn’t
shake the belief that things could/should/would be different – better, somehow – if only I could figure out what
really mattered. I wanted to know
how things like spirituality and luck and intuition worked, and how I could make them work for me. So I embarked on a quest to find the right God, but spent much of my time trying to find the right guy. At a certain point, after accumulating a heaping pile of mistakes on both counts,
I came to see that the two might be intertwined.
The good news
is, after much trial and error, I finally found them both: the God, and the guy.

Now I live in Cambridge,
Massachusetts with my super hero-husband Steve, and our genetically-improbable
mixed-breed dog. I wrote a book about my search, “He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not: A Memoir of Finding Faith, Hope, and Happily Ever After,” published
by Hachette Book Group in 2008. The follow up, "A Maze of Grace: A Memoir of Second Chances" will be in
stores in June 2010. And while I sit at my laptop typing each day, the Wonder Twin dream lives on…
