Adventures

One of the greatest things about new adventures is the opportunity to meet new people and to learn about new places. Just today I had a call from a man who I connected with when I moved to Tallahassee about four years ago. He was a businessman and I have great respect for him and his life; perhaps I will write about his life. He told me his story and I believe one of the reasons I liked him so much was his connection to the oil industry and he reminded me of the men I grew up around in Oklahoma. These oil men always appear very gruff and plain spoken and often color their sentences with unique phrases and four letter words. They had a pioneer spirit and a love for adventure. They were also risk takers and many of them have lost and made a million dollars several times over again. This is the oil man and they have been a part of my life experience. I wonder who the pioneers will be today and I hope America will find its way to knew ways of living and new adventures. You need to love the stories of your life and if you don't, it is never too late to start new adventures and new stories. I have completed one book, working on two and have a book proposal almost done. I have gotten my first rejection but I have decided to be relentless. If I can go through menopause and hot flashes, I can deal with a few rejections. And, I am old enough to know that God helps get you to where you need to be and that could be choosing a new direction.
