If you’ve read about my journey you know I’ve changed my path! I was terrified. I was mentally ready but emotionally leaving my teachers, my friends and my kids was weighing on me in a way I did not expect. Onward and forward I go.

I have found a handful of hobbies keeping me sane busy and creating in a way that I feel productive and successful.

Painting- mostly by number. Color, design, shapes, so many options! It is very rewarding to watch the progression of a piece of art. Every day a little more is accomplished and eventually the piece is complete and a beautiful piece of work is left to admire cherish and be proud of!

Reading- I finally have a mind free of guilt, angst and anger. Diving into a book helps transport my mind to that books story and reality. I love the field trip every book takes me on. New realities and situations, take me on a trip to discover new ways of life and on adventures that challenge my own life style and choices.
