He didn't want to be a starving artist, but he always wanted to play music. He found out the local police department, Prince George's County in Maryland had a 20 year retirement plan. So, he said to himself, "If I can manage to not get killed for 20 years, I can get back to my music. I managed to survive, and I've been happily retired for 14 years. I retired when I was 42. I played in a band with a high school friend for almost 10 years until Covid showed up and put us out of business. Now I work with an artist. My life shows dedication to a dream, and the process to achieve that dream."

Enjoyment is important. It makes life worth living. But sadly, it's missing from many people's lives,, and not enough people make it a priority.

Speaking of gifts, you can read Chapter 1 of my upcoming book Plenty of Guppies free through a download link here. https://linktr.ee/zenase

Here is the blurb for the book. (Stick around to the end of the podcast for a 3 min clip of the audio for chapter 1. The full chapter 1 audio is available under exclusive content.)

Book blurb

Zen Ase, a newly divorced 43 year old Southern woman wanted a fresh start. She'd heard there were plenty of fish to choose from in the modern dating pond. What she discovered were plenty of guppies. Exactly 101 of them!

The result? A provocative, transparent, raw and delightfully uncensored account of her experiences with the 101 men she encountered on her journey to find "the one". In Plenty of Guppies, Zen spills all the tea on dating psychology, relationships, and self-discovery, while giving readers a rare glimpse into the life of an award-winning artist and best-selling author. The book is an enlightening narrative that explores gender roles and identity outside of societal expectations.

Zen has written a refreshingly mature modern day epic of online dating, layering her personal story with erotic poetic verses and passionate prose that frame her journey toward rebuilding a life as a single woman and adjusting to both an empty nest and boomeranging children.

Zen Ase’s story is alternately poignant, hysterical, uplifting, shocking, and (at its heart), a real life example of the old adage "truth is stranger (and can be harder to believe) than fiction".

Plenty of Guppies is the book every adult who has loved, lost and lived to try again didn't know they needed and will effortlessly respond and relate to.

Prepare to lose yourself in the enchantingly unorthodox dating world of Zen Ase, best selling author of Zennurgize Your Life.
