A timeline of sorts

20 years ago, I failed art. Twice. Now my work hangs in galleries, sells as prints, graces book covers and has won design awards.

15 years ago I cleaned toilets in an historic, fancy hotel. Now I write about such hotels and get paid for it. I even was sent on assignment to write about the one I once cleaned.

8 years ago I moved to America. I made $7,000.00 that year and had to weigh apples to make sure I could afford them. Now, eat 3 apples each day. Sometimes 4.

5 years ago I was in a job I hated and wanted something else. Now, I choose happiness and everything else.

Today, I’m incredibly happy.

Getting Ahead
