So yes, what now? What do I want to do?
Oh, hmm
I’m so glad you asked.
I’ll start with setting up some CD and investment accounts. Hire an accountant, (I know a guy), probably a tax person. Set up some college fund accounts for all the grand kids. Give each of the kids and family sizeable checks.
Then whew…
What financial freedom would I like to experience first?
Hmmm
Grocery store. No list.
I’d get my daughter in law, who’s a realtor, searching for the perfect house with studio space and wood shop. In CA
I’d quit the find-an-agent-find-a publisher-traditional slow process and just publish my book. ASAP
I’m pretty sure I would get a beautiful yoga studio space started. One that offers a wide variety of yoga, many teachers, meditation etc, here in north county. (something like what we had before the lock down)
I’d start planning and painting for a second art show. I’d take my time. Pick up the pace on my next book.
It seems, I wouldn’t be doing too many things differently. Mostly just more and bigger. More of the things I love. Same old same old. Give more, do things faster and bigger. I’d probably wear better shoes. But not that much better. I love my shoes.
