Happy New YOU

Happy New Year everyone!

Thanks for visiting my blog, and briefly joining me in my life and writing journey. I know you have your own journey, which is why I've titled this post, "Happy New YOU."

I'm not much for making New Year's resolutions. When I have, they've usually been about diet issues, and those who know me personally can attest to how well that's worked out. Turning the pages of our life gives all of us an opportunity to start fresh, head in a new direction, try something we've never done before, fulfill that promise we've been making to ourselves for years. In reality, life gives us a chance for a new start every morning.

Lots of "new" things happened to me in 2014. I had to get used to living alone, which was a challenge at first. Thanks to friends and family I don't feel alone. LADY ON THE EDGE, the latest edition in my Brad Frame mysteries was published in 2014. You can take a look at the first chapter, and hopefully it will be on your reading list for 2015. I had the chance to perform my one-man show based on the life of Ben Franklin at PACA in Erie, PA. It was a memorable experience, and I look forward to doing more performances in the coming year. I sold a condo, bought a condo, packed, moved, met new friends, kept up with old ones, lost a few pounds, exercised more, started working on a new mystery novel, got involved with a new writers' group, and spent my first full year in retirement. Whew!!!

Life truly is a mystery that unfolds for us each day. It's exciting for me to anticipate what will happen next with my own story. I try to make the most of it, and I hope you do too.

What are you looking forward to in the coming year? Join the conversation.
