I, too, was done with the corporate world after two decades but did not leave until a family crisis that I could not have predicted needed me. Stepping down from a big sales job as VP to care for my mom with Alzheimer’s was terrifying at first but led me back to my roots: family and writing and opened the door to where I am now, 10 years later. Like you, Neera, doing what I love: writing.
So we walked almost the same path. There are many more like us. But very few can get the courage to follow their heart and do the things they want to do. I am hoping by sharing our stories we can give them some courage to choose the life they are meant to live. Thanks for leaving the comment and sharing your story Amie.
Hi Caro, For me the ultimate in writing is to convert everyday happenings into stories of inspirations. For years I struggled with it. But slowly I am getting hang of it. So I am going to continue practicing. Thanks for your encouraging comment.
As you know, I’m writing my story. You helped me once again with your newsletter. Thanks buddy!
