I am a slow reader, and fast eater; I wish it were the other way around.
I have not survived against all odds. I have not lived to tell. I have not witnessed the extraordinary. This is my story.

Philosophical Views and Reflections
Rosenthal made short films using her i Phone or Flip camera. Some invite further interaction from viewers, some are social experiments, and some build upon each other to become something else entirely. Her films include 17 Things I Made , Today is a Gift , ATM: Always Trust Magic , The Kindness Thought Bubble , The Money Tree and The Beckoning of Lovely .
On March 3, 2017, at the age of 51, she announced that she was terminally ill with ovarian cancer , by way of a New York Times "Modern Love" essay. The essay was in the form of a dating profile for her husband Jason, to help him remarry after her death. "I am wrapping this up on Valentine’s Day," she wrote, "and the most genuine, non-vase-oriented gift I can hope for is that the right person reads this, finds Jason, and another love story begins." She died ten days later at her home in Chicago, where she was born.
