Life is a journey. We never know where it will lead us, the destination is always unknown.
We can choose to see this journey as an adventure and rise and flow with the good and the bad, or we can stay stuck driving around the roundabout, spinning our wheels in instead of going with the flow of the journey.
When we grasp the life is an adventure mindset, we open our wings and begin to fly. It is in fact in this mindset that we soar to our greatest possibilities in life.

Here I sit, the day after my 57th birthday reflecting on my chosen path at this time in my life. The past year has been an interesting journey, from the marriage of my only child in late December last year, to my enrolling in classes at UMass Lowell in January. I am in my 3rd semester now, having a completed a certificate program in Contemporary Communications and now I am forging on to my B.A.
Although I had enrolled in UMass Lowell’s English B.A. program, I am transferring in the spring to UMass Amherst’s University Without Walls program. At UMass Amherst’s UWW, I will be able to take my life experience and write a portfolio of my experience that will be evaluated for credits. My life experience is vast with years spent as an entrepreneur and a political blogger. (more…)

A Life in Two Cities
In the summer of 2008, I finally decided that I had had enough of living in Los Angeles. The time had come for me to return to my native New England. However, instead of longing for the banks of the Merrimack River and the sandy beaches of my childhood in Massachusetts, I longed for the lure of the rocky, rugged coast of Maine. When the opportunity arose to move to that rugged Maine coast in Eastport, I was ready to make that leap with my nineteen-year-old daughter.
The irony did not escape me that we would be moving from one coastal corner of America to another. From the southwest to the northeast, or should I say, Down East, as Eastport, Maine is the easternmost city in Maine’s Down East region and the United States. This move from one city to another was not a mere cross-country relocation from one expansive city to another. Oh no, every aspect of Eastport was polar opposite from Los Angeles and I could not have chosen a more perfect place to detox our spirits after living in L.A. for nearly twenty years. (more…)

Life is a Grand Adventure… I welcome every experience and opportunity as part of my adventure.

I have not shared here on my blog that last month I received my Contemporary Communications Certificate at UMass Lowell and I am now enrolled in a Bachelor Of Arts in English progam at UML.
It’s been a very rewarding experience for me, at 56 years old to take my life’s work and add to it an education that I can utilize on a new path in my life.
The word, the written word, has long been a passion for me. I’m finding my craft expanding in new ways for the first time in a decade as I delve into my memory bank for scenes to write about.
Writer’s love feedback… I’m going to start sharing some pieces “From My Journal” that I hope readers will enjoy.

I rejoice in the change of each season. Change is persistent, always surrounding and encompassing our lives. I look around me, each and every day and see that beauty is everywhere. That beauty fills me with delight as a symbol of constant change and regeneration. ~ Pamela J. Leavey
