Liz's Story
I have never found it easy to sum up what I have done with my life so far or even what I am doing right now with an easy description, so thus why bother trying. I can say I crammed at least 80 years of life into my first 30 years. By the time I was 32 I was ready for a break, so I laid low in Santa Fe for awhile, but then it is not easy to be invisible when everyone keeps noticing that I wasn't. Still I tried.
But then my restless spirit kicked in again and I found myself free from any personal or financial entanglements so I sold my house, quit my business, and packed up and moved back to the west coast.

Still pretty much a stranger here even though I have been here now for about a year because I have been locking myself in my studio and painting in preparation of starting my new business soon.
My family is still in Tracy and the Bay area so I do get back to California when I can. Though I must say it kind of freaks me out when I see all the houses, 4-lane roads, and shopping centers in what use to be farm land. I can't get use to it and it is also so strange to find myself lost while driving around my home town.
