65 Mortality Drive

I was living at 65 Mortality Drive. I was in a rut. What had I done with my life? Did it have any meaning? What would I do with the rest of my life? These questions compelled me to undertake a journey of self-discovery. While driving over a 1,000 miles, I confronted feelings that had left me unsettled and I came to terms with my own mortality. The beauty of nature was my backdrop. I came away with a toolbox full of coping strategies to propel me toward a greater sense of purpose in the years I had left.

Karen Martin spent the better part of her career as a pharmacist providing drug information and synthesizing medical data into comprehensive reports used for decision-making. Throughout these years she looked forward to the time when she could write for fun.
This is her first foray into non-technical writing. It was born out of the desire to help others who might be confronting a life change in which they question the meaning of it all.
She is an empty-nester living in rural Ohio who enjoys cooking, playing piano, travel, and spending time with friends and family.
