A New Phase
We all know what Mike Tyson has to say about plans. Mine got punched in the face. Although I earned a Career Counseling Professional certificate from the National Career Development Association in August, I found myself getting excited about a role as an academic counselor at a nurse’s college. These students typically come from disadvantaged backgrounds and are trying to juggle family life, work, and an accelerated three-year Bachelor of Nursing program. So, helping them better their lives is extremely rewarding and I’m enjoying a new role (counselor) in an industry that’s old hat to me (education).
On evenings and weekends, I’m still writing “Gen X is Best” with Trudi Roth.
Also, I’ve reconnected with my old buddy and cowriter, Glynn James. We’re excited to return to our post-apocalyptic fantasy series, DUSTFALL. Look for new stories in that universe in 2025!
Empty Nesting
Our youngest daughter is now at college out-of-state, making my wife and I officially empty nesters. We’re still adjusting.
The Happiness Curve
Despite the uncertainty and chaos in the world today, the Happiness Curve is real! I’ve never felt better physically, mentally, and emotionally. My wife and I are becoming best friends again, and I love her more now than I did when we met thirty two years ago.
