Listening to Ali's lastest podcast on Laughter Permitted with Julie Foudy I can't help think about a song by the Lumineers called Cleopatra as she talk about her divorce.
The song is based on a true story of a taxi driver woman who told her story to one of the band mates.
The whole song basically tells the story of how our desired future sometimes ends up different from our actual future.
There's a specific lyric in the song that says, "And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce"
One thing I have learned from Ali is that even the most tragic endings lead to some beautiful moments.
I hope Ali continues to thrive and succeed in all that she does.
