It’s been a very reflective look-inside-yourself couple of weeks for me. My business coach has suggested I make some of my poetry available through my web store, since I am a poet, and my store, The Starting Over Store, is an outgrowth of my own life experiences. I thought it was an interesting idea and am considering it.
So anyway, I’ve been going through piles and piles of my poetry, dating back 20 years. It’s so weird feeling again what I know I was feeling when I wrote each of those poems. And there’s over 1000 of them. Each one taking me back to a whole emotional mindset.
Then I still have to decide which ones I would put up on my site, and how I would do that. Matted & framed? Downloads? Poetry books? I’m not sure yet but am still working on it and open for suggestions.

As I mentioned a few posts ago, the real estate market seems to be showing signs of life. Divorce and major life changes. Just around the corner.

I’ve heard so many different ways that people deal. You can “jump for joy” or “lash out to lawyers”. I retreat into a cave. Hibernate for awhile. Hopefully I’ll come out renewed.
