Yes, all the old stories--so very well said, Maria! Which opened up space and time and energy for the new stories. I made that same decision 40 years ago this month. I leapt from a tenured faculty position into the unknown life of a freelance writer. I was scared witless, but I've never, ever looked back. Kudos to you for your unflinching courage. You've already succeeded. The rest of it is all a new story.
Thank goodness you made that leap 40 years ago. Your writing has inspired and enriched my life and that of many others. I'll keep at it. I never imagined this life for myself, and learning to trust in uncertainty (my Mercury conjunct Pluto in Virgo lives for the details!) remains a lesson for me.
Thank you for being the role model I needed at the right time!
