One of my favorite quotes:

"You're never too old to become what you were meant to be..."
George Eliot

So maybe I'm too old to get my BA and then my MA and then my PhD...
But I'm not too old to follow a dream...one of many.
I love English history - especially the Arthurian and Tudor eras.
I've just finished listening to The Boelyn Inheritance by Philippa Gregory. I have a new perspective and respect of Anne of Cleves. As written by Gregory, she was an independent woman who luckily escaped the Tower Green and the axe.
The three voices of "Inheritance" were Katherine Howard (Henry's 5th wife), Jane Boelyn (sister-in-law to Anne) and Anne of Cleves...the only one of the three to survive. She became an independent single woman who stayed in her adopted country and outlived the tyrant who was Henry VIII
The last line of the book is Anne's and mentions freedom and how important it s to a woman.

So here's to all the "Annes" out there - like Anne of Cleves, who became what she was meant to be...all along.

And here's to Mitzi who continues to read, write and research without the BA, MA and PhD.
