We enter a world where romantic love takes a backseat, and the vibrant hues of independence and self-discovery shine through. Using Joni Mitchell's iconic album, "Blue," as her guide, author Amy Key takes us on a poetic journey through the uncharted territories of a life lived on one's own terms in her memoir "Arrangements in Blue." Growing up, the acclaimed poet dreamed of a life intertwined with romance, but fate had other plans. Now, in her forties, she has fearlessly embraced the absence of romantic love and embarked on a quest to uncover the hidden joys of solitude. She talks with Dr. Alan Campbell about the beauty of independence, the power of self-connection, and the boundless potential of self-friendship. https://amyvkey.com
