Angie Galler's Story
I have been traveling back and forth from Knoxville, TN to Santa Rosa Beach (Destin) FL for almost two years now and have recently decided to make FL our permanent home. Tough decision, as we always had a place in Knoxville too, but lots of recent reasons to make a change. Anybody from my class living in this area? I really want to reconnect with some old high school friends. Those were some of the best years of my life and we let people who mean something to us slip away without thinking. I would like to change that. I do still come to Knoxville and am VERY thankful for the group I have already reconnected with. Life is short. Having people around you who lift you up is VERY important. I am blessed in that regard.
I always wanted to be a psychologist when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a unrealistic idea. As it turns out, they were wrong.
I relax by working in my yard. Pulling weeds is therapeutic as I am also, subconsciously pulling "weeds" from my mind and heart. It works for me!
If I'm going to work somewhere, I need to have a sense of fulfillment, having helped...Expand for more
make the world a better place, and having close family connections and friendships is important to be able to deal with the day-to-day.
My inspiration cmes from quotations friends send me via email, from reading spiritual books, from nature and from just sitting at the gulf fishing or staring at the beautiful emerald waves 10 minutes from my house!
I have learned that people you love can disappoint you. You must make a decision to choose to love anyway, even when you don't "like" if those people are people that matter to you.
I am very blessed to be semi-retired. I get rental from my house in Knoxville and am living on that right now, as I have stopped taking new clients in Knoxville, TN and only doing women's retreats now. My hope is to build the retreats in Florida and work one day a week here in FL. Again, I am very blessed. We are far from rich, but with my rental, I can pay my bills and have a little left over each month for extras, albeit limited and I am okay with that! My peace of mind is my primary concern at this point in my life, over and above collecting more material things.
