Jess's decision to leave Nick

Jessica Simpson has pinpointed the moment she knew she wanted to leave Nick Lachey as when she went to Africa on behalf of Operation Smile on their anniversary. "I went there on our three-year wedding anniversary," Simpson says. "He stayed home. On that day, everything became so clear. I was in hospitals with all these sick kids, and I was looking at the beauty of this whole different world. I just knew I needed to find something more in my life - on my own. I prayed, then looked up at the sky, and I'd never seen this before - it was a double rainbow. It was the most gorgeous thing ever. From that moment on, I've listened to Judy Garland's Somewhere Over the Rainbow every single day... At some point we realized that everything is not what we expected it to be, as hurtful as that may be."
