I moved to Greenville, SC over a year ago, but I haven’t really done much to start a new life for myself. Mostly I’ve focused on making sure my family is all set.
Now that my wife’s new job is going smoothly, and both kids are enjoying their schools and making friends, I feel like I can really start something new.
But what should that be? I want to remain flexible: my wife is working toward tenure, so she needs support for teaching, publishing, travel, etc. And I want to be available to my kids for all their events. So really a new 9 to 5 job isn’t the answer.
Now it’s time to make my own path. Lifestyle business I think they call it. So I am piecing together some contracting gigs and volunteering a bit, but I still hold on to a dream of starting something more substantial. I’m getting older and can make up plenty of excuses not to do something – but really none of those reasons matter. It’s time to just throw myself out there and do something.
So I decided to make this site to force me to do so. I’m too private – by opening up a bit more I hope to stop the excuses and just move forward.
