Thanks for sharing more of your story. You sound like a kindred spirit! Amazing that you managed to write your way through house moves, rough pregnancy, and post partum changes. You definitely must be called to the writing life.

Thanks, Beatrice, I remember sleep deprived states while I was in the young motherhood stage, me not so young, but my sons were. Now I am an octogenarian and have sleep deprived nights, for whatever reason, but naps come to the rescue when needed. Keep at your writing, it is delightful.

Hi Beatrice; thanks for sharing your hardships... that's what binds us together as humans, I think. You made the right decision, ditching academia; it's not all it's cracked up to be. Not these days, anyway. God bless.

Such a different life journey from mine yet I share with you the amazing path of motherhood, Beatrice—I had eight children, all now adults and wonderful loving people. Hang in there! Thank you for your extremely interesting life story!
