Maggie Cleoria Harrison

Well here I am, acutally writing a journal entry. I have never been one for journal entries and I write for a living go figure. I think Kate would have a thing or two to say about that, but I think she would say that I hide too much of what I need to say. Sometimes it is hard for me to write what is on on my mind and have my heart over rule what I really want to say. But I am trying. At least I have realized I can't hide from my past anymore. My father wouldn't want me to. I was his pride and joy and when he died when I was 13 I felt like I have lost part of myself when he went. I withdrew into my world of silence and though I hated living my life like that, and seeing my mother worry over me like that, I realized that I couldn't be like that any more. It was my saving grace the day I met Kate and the sisters of Delta. They were got me through my years in college and I am greatful for them.

After college I have done my bit of traveling. Since my mother moved back to Greece, I felt it was the best decsion she could have made. Leaving Greece was the hardest on her, since all of our family is there, but I visit when I can, but it's harder now since I am on my own. But my mother missed Greece and moved back once I graduated college. I went back after graduation and then headed to Germany, Ireland and France and took some music classes and writing classes over there. It's more sophisticated but I have learned a lot. I have got a lot of ideas for a novel that I plan to write. I have not decided where to start yet, but we'll see.

Now that I have moved back to Florida, I am in the process of looking for a job. I am not sure if any news paper places will be looking for any free lance writers, but I have put in applications. I do have an interview at the House of Blues, so hopefully I can work there for the time being until I can get on my feet and settled back in the swing of things. I am currently living in Winter Park, so maybe I'll run into some friends along the way. I guess that is all for me. Off to go car shopping. The last one I had broke down, so here I am looking for another one. I will write more later.
