The web site for Susan Rose...writer and business tycoon

Welcome to RoseBud, the site where inquiring minds can find out what's new with me, Susan Rose. I started this site to keep my friends and family up-to-date on the progress of my novel, Confessions of a Frog Kisser. Since publishing the book, this site has morphed into whatever I feel like making it at any given time! To find out a little more about me and my goings on, take a look through the site. I'd love to hear from you, especially if I say something in the blog that strikes a chord. So drop me a line anytime.

I'm Back...Again

What a weekend. I just got back from Rhode Island a few hours ago, and am slowly unpacking my things again.

What, you may ask, was I doing in Rhode Island?

I was taking a huge risk, that's what.

I'm unsure of the outcome of my risk, which is a bit of a bummer. I was really hoping I'd sail home on cloud 9 this afternoon. Alas, that's not how things went. But, the point is that I ran toward the risk and I did a little of that thing called living this weekend.

By now you've probably guessed that the risk involved a man. A very, very good, decent man. I met him on vacation, and he invited me to visit. The old, pre-Frog Kisser book, Susan would have constructed a million reasons why it was stupid to even think for one minute that that trip was worth taking. But the post-Frog Kisser Susan is ready to put her heart on the line. I locked all my expectations in a closet and just went with the flow. Things did not always flow in a direction that I liked, but that's life, isn't it?

I have no idea if I'll see this guy again for a variety of reasons that I have no desire to discuss on a public blog. I hope I do. I really, really hope I do. But even if this weekend was all we end up having together, it was worth it. Taking a risk is worth it.

Good for you, Susan!

As you know, I am an introverted person, so it was very hard for me to break out of my comfort zone back when I was single and in a new town with no friends. But I *made* myself get out of my normal patterns, and it really helped me meet a lot of interesting people (i.e. men) that I otherwise would never had met.

In fact, that is how I met the spouse!

Life is only so long. Better to stick your neck out, than look back in 50 years and wonder about 'the road not taken.'
