The saying, "You are accepting things that you don't change" has always stuck with me, so during the last two semesters of my 25 years as a teacher and coach, I knew it was time to make a change.
How did I know that?
I would look out of my classroom windows envious of cars driving by and when a person realizes they are jealous of people picking up their dry cleaning, it is time to do something else.
So, rather than putting off travel and new professional pursuits, I began writing books, which led to ghostwriting books for other people too, and in time, I also started a landscape photography business and have taken the stage as a keynote speaker many times as well.
I have a light-hearted approach to life and love lifting weights and being active which is a good thing because I eat as though every hour may be my last on earth.
Due to my condition as a recovering "people person," I now enjoy animals and solitude almost as much as pizza.
I hope you find exactly what you are looking for out of life (and Amazon...).
My best to you in all you do!
