Recently I stepped away from a project that was right up my alley: challenging, time-consuming, and interesting—plus it paid me. You might wonder why I did that and I’m inclined to tell you because I could use some support (and maybe some advice).

As most of you know, I have run my own business for over thirty years, traveled the country and I’ve written and published a couple of books in my ‘spare’ time. (My children left home long ago so if you’re thinking you should be able to do all that and raise children, you’ll have to get your advice on how to do that from someone else.)
