I've reached a new phase in my life--yet again! I began this blog seeking solace from a busy and ever-changing world. I got a divorce, a new job, and yearned for my former life of raising children and using my creativity. I started a new life in 2010--in a new state, with a new identity--and opened up to the possibilities and adventures that lay ahead for me. Now, another new adventure in retirement is unfolding. This blogging thing sure does help . . .

Where My Ancestors Were Located in 1708
I just did the map of my ancestors from 1708. Whew!
Here's the link:

Where My Ancestors Were in 1808
I was on Megan Smolenyak2"s blog "Honoring Your Ancestors" and there was a game or a challenge to google map your ancestors 200 years ago. It was fun. Now I want to do 300 years ago.

Have you reached a new phase in your life and have not quite accepted it yet? Well...that's sort of where I am now. I feel like I am a former 'everything' (former stay-at-home mom, former journalist, former artist, former musician, former community volunteer) and have ventured so far beyond my comfort zone as to be lost in space -- like in a vaccuum (picture someone whose lifeline has been cut from the mother ship and is turning slow motion somersaults in outer space with eyes and mouth wide open...)I am formulating this blog so that I can grasp some unknown lifeline to pull me to a new safe harbor, and maybe even visit a 'former' safe harbor now and then.
