About three years ago, my husband and I made a move to Florida's Gulf Coast. We own our little trailer at the edge of the national forest located more centrally in the state. We tried to rent it and found out the hard way, landlords we are not! We live too far away from the rental to keep an eye on things, and it's an understatement that our little place was being abused! It didn't help matters that the renters were constantly struggling to pay their rent.
So I came up with this really wild idea to take back possession of our property and turn the place into a studio. I've recently published my first book, The Rhythm of Woven Dreams. I wanted to work on my next two books, start a blogsite with my dear friend Lisa, and in my spare time, I could fix the place up! Win win!
The only catch was that I had to make the pitch to my hubby. For the past 28 years, we've had a pretty "traditional" marriage. I had to convince my man that it was in his best interest to live at separate addresses while I pursue my dreams. I prepared my presentation, took a deep breath and went for it. It was easier than I thought it would be. He was only a little hesitant, but he was in! I have the most supportive husband in the world!
I didn't hesitate; I jumped right in: gave the renters notice, and made my lists of to-dos. My list was long, but not to worry, I had this in the bag! I've got big plans folks and I can't wait to share them with you!
