Hi... failte (Irish for welcome! and pronounced fall-thhha).
I'm a newbie to blogging, here just over a year, but what a great year it has been!
I've turned the corner to 50 recently and two things become more relevant...time and experiences!
Material possessions are less important! Using time wisely and truly experiencing each day holds a new significance for me!
Much love,
Marie x
Amazing post! I will continue working on my dream of one day writing a book! I have a deep passion for writing and want nothing more than to do more with my writing!!!
Hi Alyssa, thank you! I’m glad you liked it. It’s lovely to hear you voice your goal and I’m looking forward to following your journey as you cultivate your dream!
Writing a book has been my dream since I was younger! I even have an outline written up, but time has been an issue. I am also pretty hard on myself, but I will do it someday!!
At least we know where we are moving and having a place to live, I just NEED a job! I do not want to have to work in an office, but unfortunately it is out of my control. I can not lose health insurance as there is no telling what the brilliant president will do next! Thank you for your encouraging words!!
It’s really lovely to hear that I’ve got you thinking Shelley! That’s my goal, to prompt and challenge thoughts. Maybe it’s something to consider…why doing so for yourself is not as easy as for your children? Aren’t you worth every bit of it!! Haven’t you done a great job, two independent daughters on a steady footing with education and a good future. I hope just as you looked back fondly on your past in your lovely post today that you will equally focus on your present! Time for you now!!
Living the writing dream! Love, love, love writing!
Two books published another in the creative juices. And now a growing blog… How humbling to live the dream into reality 🙂
My advice… Just start & never, never, never give up! There will be twists & turns, traffic lights & detours but its all part of the journey to the destination!

I’m so delighted to hear that Jennifer! Was this something you saw in your future say, 10 years or 5 years ago? When did you start writing? I was looking at my different achievements only yesterday and wondering how they are meant to come together!
I have always loved to write but started writing my first book 15 years ago.
Yes, I definitely knew my first book would be published but my second book came as a pleasant surprise…& my blog has had a life of its own, very encouraging & fulfilling!

You will get there! You also had a move of town and job lined up. Has that come about? If so, no wonder time would be an issue! Mind yourself! X

I find it easier to focus on helping my kids cultivate their dreams than doing so for myself…you’ve got me thinking now…thank you for that!
