After 37 years I still remember the details.
I grew up as a young child in Miami, Florida. When I was 11 years old, my dad was transferred to Kansas City, Missouri. We settled on the Kansas side of Kansas City, in a small suburb called Overland Park.
All I knew about Kansas at age 11 came from Dorothy and The Wizard of Oz. I fell in love with the place. For a South Florida boy, this was a strange heaven. Hills, woods, streams, seasons, and snow. Walking to school on April 1, 1970 in 8 inches of snow. A three story house with a basement.
Then my dad was transferred again to Washington, DC. The move broke my heart.
All the rest of my life, I have wanted to see Overland Park again. So when I had the opportunity in the summer of '07 to drive from Atlanta to Denver for a convention, I jumped at the chance.
Can you believe it? The people that lived in my house had actually painted it a different color!
And of course, everything was smaller than I remembered it being as a child. At the same time, I remembered everything I saw. The hill across the street we used to jump our bikes on. The cul-de-sac where I learned to play kick the can. The steps on the side of the garage of the girl next door where I got my first kiss.
It was a nice way to spend an early Sunday morning on the way to Denver. I had planned to stop there again on the way back from Denver but then decided not to do so. I did not understand why I was not stopping again at first. Then it hit me that there were two very important reasons -
1. I wanted to remember it the way I did as a kid, and
2. I wanted to leave this time on my own terms.
I guess it will come as no surprise to anyone, after all those times my dad was transferred, that I have never had a full time job as an adult. I have always been self-employed.

Article marketing requires you to write lots and lots of articles. In fact, Chris Knight, CEO of EzineArticles says that "life begins at 250."
While my experience says that Chris is correct, the question I often get from newbie article
Article writing can be so intimidating for some people.
"Who me? Write articles?"
Yes you. Write articles!
