I recently attended an event that featured two inspirational women. Both with different back stories on overcoming adversity. One of whom, Camilla, had suffered a stroke.

I don’t know if it’s the rhythm of the train as it chugs along (ok, I might be going a bit Harry Potter dreamsville here) or if it’s knowing that I’ll wake up in a new location in the morning.
