My name is Marilyn. I am a divorced (twice) woman with two grown children. I originally come from Manhattan but now reside in Augusta, GA. You may wonder how I "ended up" here. Well, in between my moves life happened. In between NY and GA I lived in NJ and commuted to NY each day via the lovely NJ Turnpike. I worked in the WTC and was laid off after the tragedy. My lifetime friend had moved to GA with her family eight years back and after visiting for a while, I liked it so here I am. I miss the hustle and bustle of NY sometimes but I'm getting used to it (after 3.5 years I should). I decided to try my hand a Real Estate investing, with some success here and there. It has been a struggle to make a living and each day has been a challenge. I just got a normal J.O.B. which I resisted for a long time because I didn't want to get into the same old rut I was in for 22 years. But, there is no commute (3 minutes from my home) and there are some perks too. I love to write and paint and intend to pursue this as well. I am still involved in R.E. but at least I have some money coming into my house and feel relieved about my decision. That's it for now.
