A WALK IN MY SHOES.... Years ago I began a blog but then stopped updating it due to the fact that I had the opportunity to become a columnist and share my life through a weekly column in a local newspaper. As a retiree, I still feel the need to share. This journal has been resurrected as an outlet, a replacement to my column which was called A Walk in My Shoes, to share my life and in many cases, to simply say what people are thinking but are afraid to say.

It all starts here again after retirement
I have personally gone through many changes over the past year. It will be a year next month that we sold our forever home that we designed and built in Florida City, Florida. We then purchased a home in Land O Lakes (well Mr. Wonderful did as I could not go to see the home so we purchased it without me ever seeing it...total trust in my husband), downsizing like I never thought I could. Wow....all those years worth of things that had to be gone through.
After moving out, I moved in with a friend from church as I still had a commitment at my job with John P. Maas, Esq. I managed his law office and for pleasure, was a columnist with the South Dade News Leader. Mr. Wonderful went back and forth from where I lived to our new house as he was renovating it. It was hard and after Christmas, my boss and I agreed that I could leave on March 30th of this year.
March 30th came and I retired and moved to Land O Lakes.
As I have told many, it took me a while but once I embraced downsizing, I became very happy with out home. I also tell everyone that I love where I live now but I definitely miss the people. I had so many friends and also clients who were like family and moving has taken me away from my safety net.
Recently I have been reaching out more in order to meet more people in our area and I feel good about this.
Finally, I really miss writing so I have decided to give rebirth to my Blog that I had started years ago and have never updated. My good friend Harry has encouraged me so here we go.
I do hope that you will enjoy reading it, subscribe to it for updates and every now and then leave me a comment or two.
As I tell my husband, I have no secrets and call it the way I see it so please...sit back and enjoy life through my eyes.
