About to start a new chapter

The last few months just flew by and now I am about to start a new chapter in my life. Will you join me?

In the next couple of weeks you will see a couple of changes to the blog, when I move on from "moving" (pardon the pun) to life changes. It should be an interesting ride for all concerned.

As I start on this journey, something fascinating is happening. First, some background information. I am 42, my daughter is 17 and we are moving from an island in the Atlantic to Florida, where she will be starting college. I am moving on to the next chapter in my life when I stop being overbearing, overprotective mom and turn into "roommate occasionally known as Ma".

My husband said to me a while back that many people would love to be in my shoes. I am currently unemployed and it is his theory that people would love to have the guts to decide one day they want to change their whole lives and just get on a plane and start new. Oddly enough, one of my dearest friends said the exact same thing this morning. She validated his statement.

If truth be told, I am not a big fan of planes and the thought of getting in one terrifies me more than this "new life" I am working on. I am not scared about the journey of my life...I am scared of the three hour plane ride. Once I am there, I am making stuff up as I go. And no, that part does not scare me at all.

If you want to know what happens next, stay tuned.
