Boyd Lemon
As I approached retirement age, I saw, not an ending, but an opportunity to start a new life. I opened my mind to family and new friends. My little God Daughter inspired me to write a short story about her. A talented, young singer-songwriter encouraged me to write. I traveled the world and realized my passions were writing and travel.
Following my intuition that told me I needed a different place to thrive in my new life, after a lifetime practicing law in California, I moved to Boston, a writer’s town. I sought guidance for my writing from my singer-songwriter friend and a great writing teacher, Natalie Goldberg. After I attended a workshop she taught, she invited me to her intensive program of four week long writing retreats in Taos, New Mexico, and I began writing my memoir about my three marriages. Reliving my role in the destruction of those marriages was excruciatingly painful. But writing about what I perceived as the greatest failure in my life ultimately healed me. Writing Digging Deep: A writer uncovers His Marriages brought me the peace I had been searching for. I decided to publish this intensely personal work because I think it will help others to face and deal with issues in their own relationships.
I moved to Paris to live for a year and experience another culture. My next book will be about writing, traveling and retirement.
