Welcome to Growing Into the Good Life!

Hello all,

A while back, I started a blog as an emerging author. Things went great, and I learned a lot. I went to conferences, started a writer's group, wrote articles, and even submitted a piece or two.

And then, life caught up with me. I realized that I was writing fiction as a way to find a new path in life, and the fiction wasn't going to be able to take me there single-handedly. So I took a break from writing, and explored different ways of becoming my best self.

What I found led me to an ever-changing process of discovering how to live life the way it's supposed to be. I made some major life changes, and even started writing again (through Nanowrimo, of all things!).

I'm only beginning on this journey, but it's already turning out to be an entertaining, interesting, and sometimes hazardous road. So I'd like to take a little time to share my thoughts, and perhaps help others out who've decided to seek out their own life changes.

My first advice is this: every person has their own path to tread! What works for me may or may not work for you, and may even sound a little crazy and far out. (Believe me. I'm an engineer by training. You think some of this stuff is too out there for you?) Always keep in mind that life is a process that you have more control over than you think, and that there is always, always room for change and growth.

To those who are ready to grow into the good life: let's begin!
