Embracing the Art of Downsizing

Be sure check-out Cape Women On-Line Magazine, Fall 2014 and read my article on downsizing! In the past year I made many changes - keeping a smaller footprint in my community (Wellfleet) and at the same time getting out from under mortgage payments. This lifestyle isn't for everyone, but since I sold my house I have traveled to New York, Colorado twice, Missouri and St. Paul, I'm heading to Italy in two weeks and will be in Ireland next April. That's Life! By the way, this is an original oil painting done by me - transformation is part of life well lived.
