My life has a habit of turning upside down periodically. I feel like I’ve led several different lives in these almost-sixty years, and I’m about to enter another one. It’s scary-exciting, but mostly exciting.
One son is moving here with his wife from two thousand miles away. The other son is moving two thousand miles away. And today, I decided to move too–not far, just fifty miles, but it’s a world away in terms of lifestyle: clean air, nature, quiet, solitude, and time–time to focus on healing. It’s a life that I’ve dreamed of for many years, but didn’t allow myself to believe was possible. Now it’s possible.
Everything is about to change.
I'm not really famous. In case you were wondering. But I tried. I once believed that fame makes you real - a perversion of "The Velveteen Rabbit" theme that love makes you real. Guess I equated fame with love. Sad. You can read more about that here.
