I was pretty much in the same position you describe after pretty much spending my child bearing/rearing years in the same way. I had several other interests but the family history search and telling the stories seems to have gently nudged the rest to the side.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413795611563683135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-36471183358763113392011-02-08T01:47:12.780-05:002011-02-08T01:47:12.780-05:00Greta, I'm certain there was a divine nudge in...Greta, I'm certain there was a divine nudge in your choice to pursue your family history.

It didn't come as an answer to prayers that I am aware of, but I do like to think that there may have been a divine nudge in there. And from everything I have read about what you have been doing it looks like you are going in the right direction - certainly a delightful one for your readers.Greta Koehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429623811794360612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-68115673445976661652011-02-07T14:09:52.648-05:002011-02-07T14:09:52.648-05:00Nancy since I had the same exact experience I can ...Nancy since I had the same exact experience I can relate well to your post - only you put it much better than I could.<br /><br />Full steam ahead until a course correction comes!<br />With regards,<br />ValerieValerie Elkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05480644845944396292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-80599203210015692482011-02-07T09:18:30.371-05:002011-02-07T09:18:30.371-05:00From my view, you are meeting your challenge admir...From my view, you are meeting your challenge admirably.
