Texas or Bust

Most of my life was spent working for others, being a dutiful daughter, wife, Mom, sister, and good friend.  I used to tell anyone who would listen that my life goal was to work at so many different jobs that one day I could pick up the classified ads of any newspaper and be qualified for most of the jobs listed there.  Then mid-life approached and I decided to try working on my own.


So, for eleven years I owned an organic grocery store that I started from scratch - not a franchise.  I dedicated myself to providing the healthiest, cleanest, additive free, responsibly produced products to enhance the health of my customers.  Many relied on me to recommend products specific to their dietary restrictions.  Alas, the 24/7/365 commitment grew old and I decided to trade that reality for that of becoming a house director for a sorority in Berkeley, California that houses 57 women.  What was I thinking!


The Berkeley decision was made to maximize our retirement returns and would provide the additional resources ultimately to move from West Virginia to Texas and have reasonable quality of life expectations.  We're almost there, but I miss the interaction I used to have with my customers.  I still receive updates on health issues and products.  I still keep my eyes and ears open for all sorts of quality of life possibilities.  But, who can I share this with now?  Any of you that choose to follow my blog.


I promise to provide the same information my former customers grew to depend upon.  I sort through the hype and provide the shortened version.  I hope my blog will become one of your favorite resources and look forward to your comments and suggestions about the content.  There will be opportunities for you to click through for some of the resources mentioned.  Will it help me get to Texas sooner?  You bet.  Will it be products I honestly believe will be of benefit to you?  You bet.  Join me for the journey.  You'll be glad that you did.
