Moving from the American South to New England.

Tweet

Less than a week ago, I moved from the Piedmont of North Carolina to Rhode Island, a place I lived for fifteen months many years ago. Back then I was young, very naive, and happy to be making my living as a working actor. Now I'm a writer who hopes to get back into performing and, frankly, I'm scared half to death. This is a huge transition for me and though I'm excited, I'm nervous too. I lived in the US South for most of my life. Much was in North Carolina, but there were those thirteen years in Mississippi that I still find boggling. And, of course, my sojourns in Memphis were pretty wonderful for the most part. Hanging out on Beale Street and seeing some of the great Blues artists, past and present, in concert was never a bad thing. One thing about the time since I lived up here - I finished college. That's HUGE. I even got into grad school but had to give it up because my mom became ill. It never occurred to me that I'd be starting over again now, but I know I can. There are many reasons I earned the moniker, The Fabulous Miss Virginia Lee!
