Janet,
I needed a book to read by my bed, so I ordered "A Room of One's Own" just now. thanks for the suggestion! I have been in my apartment almost a month and trying not to worry about paying the rent and the heating bills in the winter (gas costs are expected to rise 40 - 70% this winter and this is an old house). But I LOVE the space and every day I am more sure that I have done the right thing by living alone.
I have a quote on my bulletin board at work: "Do what you love, the money will follow" Marsha Senita
I just checked my list of potential clients and in the last three weeks I have heard from seven people who are interested in commissioning me to do a portrait for them. I just haven't gotten any of them to sign on the dotted line yet. But this is the most active interest I have ever gotten, so I am optimistic.
All the best
Pat
