Letters from Anne is a biweekly newsletter of dispatches from a happily upended life. After a successful 23-year career as an English Professor and author, I sold my house, took my daugther to college, and bought a one-way ticket to Paris. Now I’m on a quest find my best life. In my letters, I sort through the good, the bad, and the ugly of a life in glorious limbo.

How am I coping? And how am I changing? And what does it take to make the leap and change your life?
