When it’s Meant to be
Now I’m not a religious person nor do I turn myself over to fate, believing what will be will, but I do believe there are certain things in life that are meant to be. When I bought the house I live in now for instance. An older house in a small town was very different from what both me and my husband were used to, but everything just sort of fell into place from the moment real estate agent showed us the house. And we’ve been very happy here since.
Alternatively, I believe you can also tell when something is not meant to be. Like my brief sojourn into the work world. One month to be precise. In this case nothing went right and everything in my family’s lives seemed to get turned upside down. Needless to say the day job was short lived.
The experience wasn’t wholly a bad one. My family and I all learned some important lessons. DH and DS have a renewed appreciation for what I do. And I am more determined then ever to make a living writing. And by make a living, I’m not looking for Nora Roberts’ pay check, (but if someone were to offer it to me I certainly wouldn’t send them away 
) but I’d like to bring in the same income I was making in the corporate world.
This isn’t so much a writing goal, but a career goal. The start of a business plan, if you will. Not only have I recommitted to writing, but I’m committed to the career of writer. From what I can tell, it promises to be an interesting journey.
