Thanks for taking the time to swing by and leave a comment. It sounds like we have much in common, not only in how the universe put us in the right place at the right time, but where we ended up in CA! I hope your first day of spring was just as gorgeous in the Valley as it was here today. Jayne, welcome to my blog! Thanks for taking the time to swing by and leave a comment.

I went to a workshop on pitching film and TV ideas back in '88. I'd signed up for it, but when the day came it was raining and I thought of lots of excuses not to go. It's a good thing I did go because I ended up making a new friend who opened up all sorts of personal and business opportunities for me, which eventually led me to a country life here in the Santa Ynez Valley that I could not have imagined. That's right. We're neighbors. The Universe has a way of putting us where we’re supposed to be. I went to a workshop on pitching film and TV ideas back in ’88.

The timing inspired me to follow my gut without too much thought. And yes, thankfully, I landed where I was meant to be.

You are one of those writers I mention in my post, far more talented than me, whom I've learned a bucketload from along the way. As Deborah says (below), I'm glad we both landed where we were meant to be! Cork has been a catalyst for many positive things in our lives.

Without his encouragement and praise, I would have never believed that I could actually consider myself a writer. And I'm also lucky for Cork's class because that's where I met you!!!

(Oh, that's a mouthful!). Seriously, it's not that different from inadvertently making a left turn instead of a right one, and landing just where you're supposed to be. Somehow, there's a little bit of that 'long-distance runner' mindset, too. I'm here, I got this far -- why not go the distance. Happy St. Patrick's Day. And Happy Spring. ;-) Call it luck . . . call it serendipity . . . call it following some inner sense that surprised you with knowing something you didn’t quite know you wanted/needed.

Especially since he's also a wine aficionado and he has family roots from County Cork, Ireland. Cork IS a great name, isn’t it?
