It is a domino effect...all the choices and chances I took, led me to where I am today. And the instigator was Lucy Maud Montgomery. Have you ever taken a step back and looked at your life? Wondered how you got to where you are? I did that yesterday and this is what I got....
It all started with Anne of Green Gables! Especially when Kevin Sullivan and the CBC created the TV Movie of AGG!! I was captive. I wanted to BE THERE!! I was seduced by the landscape and of finding my Gilbert. Weren't we all? Family trips were planned during the Summer and it was there, on that ferry ride to the island, that I knew I was meant to live on PEI. Of course I was younger and still in high school...but my love and desire grew. After a rocky start at choosing a college/university, I decided and was accepted at the University of Prince Edward Island!! I spent a few years growing and becoming a better version of me. I found myself!
Unfortunately...after graduation I went home...and quickly found a job, had to repay THAT student loan!! That job led me to finding and reconnecting with an old friend...who is now my Husband! So because of LMM...I am now an educated, married woman with 3 kids and is trying to pursue her creative side(daily)! I have also introduced Hubby and the kids to PEI!! And we all want to live there!! One day we will...baby steps!
But I am, where I am today, because of Lucy Maud Montgomery and her creation of Anne of Green Gables! After several rejections on her novel and tossing it away in a hat box...she rediscovered it and tried one more time at publication...and that was it!! Can you imagine if she didn't try again...!! Where would I be!? What about the others who have been influenced by her....where would we all be?
