Elizabeth's Story

I think most of you knew me as Beth. I moved to California and became "Elizabeth" - and now - I'm known as Lizza. Life has been incredibly good to me since I left Myrtle Beach High School in 1975. After graduation, I attended Coastal. Then I worked retail for a few years because even though I went to college for four years - somehow they won't give you a degree for taking lots of theatre classes, art classes, and an occasional folk dancing class. Sigh. I think it was 1986 when I crammed as much as I could into four cardboard boxes and moved to San Jose, California. Life was good there. 45 minutes from San Francisco, 45 minutes from the Pacific Ocean, and surrounded by mountains. Northern California was home for more than 25 years. After living together for over 20 years, and raising his daughter, Angelica, my beloved David and I decided to get married. David and I met while performing in a production of Tony n' Tina's wedding. Yes, I am still acting - but not usually for much money. For over 20 years, I worked in the high tech industry in Silicon Valley. Mostly in secretarial/executive assistant positions. I finally did get a two year degree in Marketing. It took me 7 years of going to school at night, but I ...Expand for more
did it. They even let me apply the folk dancing class as a required P.E. credit! About the same time I turned 50, I started to realize how miserable I was in the corporate world. I started taking Child Studies clashes and working towards an Early Childhood Education degree. In December of '08 - due to the economy - I lost a job that I'd had for 12 years. That gave me a little push - and now - I'm a preschool teacher! I absolutely believe that all pay is not monetary. I LOVE my work, and that's huge! Sometimes I don't believe it myself, but I started going to church every Sunday now. I found a new thought all- encompassing spiritual center that opens itself to any and everyone. Based on the teachings of Ernest Holmes - It's all about love. Finding my spirituality really meant a lot of changes for me. But I still swear and drink beer and stuff! ; >) And I know it's okay with God. A year ago we moved to thd Seattle area to buy a forever home ( real estate in Silicon Valley was above and beyond for us) and get ready to retire. I see a lot of travel and family time in my future. I'm not really in touch with hardly anybody from high school anymore - but if you'd like to e-mail me - feel free. Love & joy! - Lizza
