I enjoyedthe great privilege of writing a ten-part series of columns for the Waltham News Tribune, our local newspaper. Part 1 was published on June 6, 2014, and Part 10 on November 28th.

One of the things I learned in the process is that telling one’s story is hard!

The series is called “Starting Over in Waltham,” and it chronicles my  personal journey of emotional and professional recovery, beginning with the end of my last business, The Elephant Walk restaurant, and ending with the beginning of my next one, a small grocery store I’m calling Hundred Mile Market.

No need to say more about it now; the articles tell the story.

Part 1: Beginning at the end

Part 2: Desperation and breakdown

Part 3: This too shall pass

Part 4: Reconnecting and reengaging

Part 5: Laying a new foundation

PART 6: Back to work

Part 7: Hundred Mile Market

Part 8: Devils in Details

Part 9: Relapse

Part 10: Ending at the Beginning
