Taking The Next Step!

Hello friends,So life is trudging along, as it always does for me.  I suppose I shouldn't use the word trudge. It actually moves along swiftly, and somewhat erratically at times as well.  I take it all in stride, and enjoy the fact that I live a life that isn't "common"...that I can't say with any certainty what my life will look like in 12 months...either good or bad.  I like that.  It can cause some stress and trepidation, but it's the life that I've lived for so long, I really wouldn't know how to do anything differently.And with that in mind, I must announce that I am taking the next step in my blogging journey.  I am beginning a new blog. The title of this new blog is "Reflections of a Chicago Life" and it will be a part of the ChicagoNow blogging community.  ChicagoNow is the subsidiary, if you will, of a major newspaper here in Chicago.  Furthermore, it is the next natural step in my quest to eventually be a "professional blogger." I don't mean professional as making a living off of blogging, but if anyone was willing to pay me $10 a month to blog, I would feel like John Grisham!Have no fear my friends, if you've enjoyed "Off The Beaten Path", you will enjoy Reflections of a Chicago Life.  I can assure you you'll find all the same things, and wide range of topics, that you found here.  I encourage you all to hop on over there, and subscribe immediately.In addition, my Instagram and Twitter accounts will not change, and will be the same that are accessible from this site here.  I also have a Reflections of a Chicago Life Facebook Page.I hope you all will embark on this new leg of my journey with me.  I promise you that you won't regret it.  I may update here from time to time, if a topic goes far outside the scope of what I feel comfortable posting at ChicagoNow, but 99% of my blogging for the foreseeable future will be done there.  Thank you all so much for your continued support, and friendship.  We're making big moves friends.
