Everybody has a story.

Patch is looking for women who are starting over, maybe because the kids have grown up and moved out or there's been a divorce, and using their passions as a springboard for a new career.

In the past few weeks, we've told the story of two friends who made a knack for baking a lucrative business; a single mom and former teacher who opened a local writing studio to help give young writers a voice; a former swimsuit model and mother of three who's turning a passion for swimwear into a line of children's bathing suits; and an artist who suddenly found that losing her job as a dental assistant after 20 years was a blessing in disguise.

Does that sound like you? If you're starting to work on your next chapter, e-mail me at Amy.Byrnes@patch.com and let's tell that story together.
