After spending 25 years in the publishing industry, I took a detour to open my own photo processing center. I decided after two years that was not the type of business that made me happy, so I closed it in early 2008. I then spent some time building my home-based business in the anti-aging/wellness industries. I enjoy that, but I have returned to my true passion and in 2009, my goals (in no particular order), are to complete one fiction novel and write/publish as many articles as I can on the subjects that interest me and can help others in their daily lives.
