Alone [intro]

Moira Finley, 41, florist - is embarking on a new path to find her place in the world.


Cleveland, Ohio - June 14, 1993.

My ex-therapist always suggested keeping a journal. So here we go I guess.

First day as an unemployed florist. Months in the making but I did it - I sold the shop! Twelve years of blood and sweat. Just couldn’t do it anymore. My heart wasn’t in it. Such a shame when our love for things falls cold. No more settling for safe and familiar.

I want to feel alive again!

So with these two packs of ballpoints, stack of spiral notebooks and mom’s old typewriter - it’s now or never - I’m gonna start writing! Got enough savings to coast a few months before having to get a “real job” - I really think I can make this work.

Friday I close on the new place. The truck will be loaded and Cleveland in the rear view. Here’s to fresh starts and a new life!
