Starting Over Again...Walking a New Path
6/2/2006 6:18:03 PM
In 1990 I moved from Ireland back to the US. I chose Atlanta, GA as the place to start over. There was never a thought or feeling that I would stay in Georgia the rest of my life. After several years I knew I wanted to get out. I researched other places, REALLY liked Annapolis, MD and thought that it was where I would move.
But, life takes some funny turns and our paths don’t go exactly where or how we thought. After a trip to California for research/inspiration for my second book, I could not get it out of my mind. I kept thinking of how beautiful it is, how laid back and nice the people are there.
I finally made the decision to move to Napa, CA, to take early retirement from the corporate world. I was so happy and at peace.
I moved out there, renting an apartment, with my townhouse in Georgia up for sale. Oh, it was so exciting and I was looking forward to starting a new life. I had such imaginings. However, I began to feel somehow it was not right. Maybe it was just not the right time for me to live there.
Finally I had to decide to return to Georgia, to my house which had not sold, and be near my friends, my support circle.
Now ~ I am taking this opportunity to start over again, to review aspects of my life, to find how I can create an income in a way that will allow me to work and live my creative life. Also, I am very grateful for this time to be helping others.
I’m working to finish book 2 in the Little One series, and starting my Memoirs. And, I pray to find the perfect agent to work with.
