As a brand-new empty nester with a 25-year writing career under my belt, I am trying to figure this out. Lately I've been going back and forth between "Searcher" and "Easy Glider." As a freelance writer, I not only devote a lot of time to crafting material, but must also work hard to market my work. At some point, I'd like to ease up on the pressures. Earlier this summer, I was in a retreat mode, but I consider retreat a good thing. I suspect we all need some quiet time to reflect and redefine ourselves after significant life changes, including a spouse's early retirement and the newly emptied nest.

My work and play are intertwined. My formal education is psychology and social work (BA, MSW, licensed to practice in PA), but I am also an interfaith minister, free-lance journalist/author, workshop facilitator (one my favorites is called Cuddle Party www.cuddleparty.com), massage and energy worker. It's ALL an adventure:) Namaste, Edie I am most definitely an adventurer who keeps adding on careers. My work and play are intertwined.

I've been through a long search of my faith from Christianity to Reiki, to Shamanism, to witchcraft and Native American heritage then back to Christianity. I've also tried a number of hobbies such as arts (drawing and pastels), wooden window boxes (crafts), and poetry. (I was REALLY bad at it) One of the things I have found that I've been able to do consistently through the years is write, whether it's fiction or non-fiction. I made a career of it for fifteen years as a technical writer and now as an women's fiction author. Who know. Maybe one day, I'll turn into a Continuer and use my technical writing skills to fit my retirement. I think I’m a Searcher, rolling into an Adventurer, and hoping to one day be an Easy Glider.
