The first time I sky dived they almost had to push me out of the plane. Cave exploration was my most enjoyable activity. I have been on a hot air balloon team, climbed Kilimanjaro and a few other adventures. 😉
You're a braver person than I am, Kay.... skydiving and cave diving... wow. - As for trying to help out other people and wanting them to be successful, I once had to delete my email list and start again because the people I wanted to help didn't want their success as much as I wanted it for them. I found that very frustrating, and I so wanted to give them a digital kick in the pants. 😂 But you live and learn.
Oh Barry thank you. Skydiving and cave diving are only the tip of the ice of the iceberg. I love the “digital kick in the pants.” You know you try to teach a man how to fish… yes we live and learn
I always love reading about how women shed skins and evolve to the next thing. In a similar vein, I shifted from academic to creative writing later in life. Actually, I'd always been a creative writer but had essentially give it up. Going back to (and forward to) it to write novels and memoirs opened up my life in beautiful ways. Happy to be connected here!
Happy to connect Kate. I taught for a semester at Temple U. I look forward to reading your work. I have shed my skin so many times, I think my spirit animal is a snake. To be honest, I get excited when I blow up my life.
Really enjoyed your story, Kay. Brava to you. Thanks for sharing.
Priyanka thank you for taking the time to read it. I hope you subscribe as I take you on my journey. 🙏
appreciate your honesty and reflection, it’s been quite the journey
Quite the journey that continues, thank you for the support and stay tuned!
If it’s okay with you I’d like to use ‘I’d rather be needed than paid’ as a title for a short story?
Great thanks … I’ll work on something over the next few days … no pressure at all 🤔
It is a great title. Sure use it tag me when you post it. And I’ll fits ok, if I ever use it as a title I will refer to this conversation and tag you!
I love Villefranche-sur-Mer, such a cool little village.
You’ve really lived an exciting life!
I skydived once. The most terrifying thing I ever did! Do you share stories about cave diving? I’d love to read!

Eva yes I am sharing cave diving stories as I get inspired. I did this one a couple weeks ago. https://kaywalten.substack.com/p/what-ten-pesos-and-a-coca-cola-can

I think selling soap in the south of France is always a good idea for a Tabula rasa
