I started a new life.
After losing my husband of 44 years to cancer in Nov 2022, I packed up & moved 1800 miles to a new area. First time I've ever lived by myself.

I have finished my latest book saga, and it's probably the best thing I've written since I started writing like 13 years ago. I'm currently in the process of polishing the 1st book so I can offer it to a publisher. The chance I'll actually get published is small, but it's not zero, and it would be a dream come true.

You can always self publish. I did that, but mine isn't successful as I did not / still am not marketing it, so I think there is like... one sale, which is sad because I expected more as it is on Amazon. But, if you put effort into marketing, I'm sure it will sell.

I got sober. After 59 and a 1/2 years I finally got it together. I was in a crisis situation. My husband was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer. I knew myself enough to know that if something happened to him, I'd be in trouble. I met with a great doctor that helped me stop drinking. My family has a history of alcohol abuse and I was scared I was going to go that way. It's been about 300 days without a drink. I have lost 35 pounds, I exercise like an athlete, I have 6 hours of tattoo time and I feel as if I'm 100%. I feel so good.
By far the greatest decision of my life.

I don't think your achievement is less good than the rest on this list. Most importantly to you: it's something you did for you and that is the best thing you can ever do. I don't know you but I am happy you are here and that you're feeling better than you did a year ago. *yay you!*

I'm still here.
2023. The 55"TV died. The microwave died. My printer died. My job died. Something on the car that cost $165., died. Molly's vet bills were $375. Don't want Molly to died. O! Dianne's heart nearly died. Had to get another tablet. 'cause one of our others died. and my employment insurance is going to died soon.
So I resurrected my handyman business. Got some cards, mag signs for the car, lawn sign. Traveled the town delivering business cards, in the middle of January.
Trouble is, the cars too dirty to put the mags on. The ground is to hard to put the sign in anywhere.
And this town rolls the streets up for the winter.
So what I achieved in 2023, was to get to 2024. 😊
God bless if you've got this far because I do like to talk.

I started FACES OFTHE EAST VILLAGE
I have been inspired by the organization called Faces of Mankind (www.facesofmankind.org) for a few years now. I wanted to join them… my goal was to open a chapter in New York City… but I never got a response from them.
A few weeks ago, I went out on my own visiting the homeless individuals and encampments in the East Village asking these people to be part of MY OWN “Faces of the East Village”.
To my surprise and delight, every one I interviewed agreed to let me photograph and paint their portraits. The subjects will be the recepients of the proceeds from the sales of the paintings.
It will take awhile, as I am alone in this…and I will have to beome a legal Not-For-Profit.
However, I am undaunted, and have begun my first painting…Eduardo.
It has been quite humbling to hear people’s stories about how they got where they are.
I hope you will check out Faces of Mankind…it is quite remarkable.

Ross “Sarcastic Dad” 9 months ago

I wrote my first novel and self published it on Amazon as a paperback and ebook. It's called "If I Knew Then", by Ross Mullican. I know it probably won't take off and make me rich, lol, but I was really proud of myself for writing it (and thanks to my friend who helped edit it!)

That is great!
