Are We There Yet?

Autumn has finally come to North Florida and I couldn't be happier. I was desperate for cold air to hit my face. I couldn't wait to bust out my sweaters and jeans and maybe even a winter coat. Sadly, I won't get to have the type of winter I truly love with snow and ice.

I'm not going to bitch and complain anymore about being where I don't want to be. What I am going to do is change my situation. I am dedicated to making my life what I want it to be. For 20 years I've been at the mercy of my radio and television career. I've lived where the best job was. If that meant leaving behind the love of my life or a place that finally felt like home; so be it.
Well, no more.

It's finally time to take control of that aspect of my life. I want to be the one to decide where I live. That's such a foreign concept right now. I am praying that I can really have a career as a writer and be able to choose where I spend the rest of my life!

I'm just so tired of sacrificing. When do we get to do what we want to do, where we want to do it? Life feels like a long drive when you're a kid and don't recognize anything along the way. So I keep thinking, "Are we there yet?"
