"My mother never shook anybody’s hand. She has kissed and hugged her way throughout her life, Kate says proudly. And growing up, her family had a “no judgment open-door policy. We were never afraid to bring the wrong person home. They were always open to our failures. I’d rather hang out with the person who’s done everything than who’s done nothing. It would suck to die and not have experienced my life, really. I mean, I think you should keep your eyes open. Blinders are fun for a second, but they have to come off eventually. And I believe it’s important to get to know people, to really get to know them."

[Ok, my love fest with Ms. Hudson is temporarily over. But seriously - how right is she? Living your life open - really open - is truly the only way. And kissing/hugging your way through life? I wish I’d realized that so many years ago.]
