   This past February, Francesca Campo decided it was time to make one of her lifelong dreams a reality. She had spent many years working in retail, before working as a Production Director of an Event Planning company. After spending 13 years in New York and 7 in Boston, she was tired of living in a city. She has always been a creative person, but working 70 hours a week did not allow her any time to pursue her own interests, and she felt as though she was missing out on life. So she packed up her apartment on Beacon Hill setting her sites on the coast. Although she would have to make some sacrifices in order to make the dream a reality, she knew it would all be worth it. It was time to live by the ocean.
   
   She moved to Newport, Rhode Island to a much smaller apartment and lower paying job. And she has never been happier.
   
   She wanted to stay in the non-profit world, for she loves to raise money for a good cause and she enjoys connecting with people. She is currently coordinating the "Taste of Newport" for the Child and Family Services Agency and the "Art Unfurled" fundraiser at the Newport Art Museum.
   
   Living Simply
   
   She welcomes the changes she has had to make in order to embark on this new chapter. "It's not as difficult as you think to change your life and live more simply. You find ways of cutting back. You can cut your cost of living in half if you get rid of the expensive apartment and stop going to overpriced restaurants."
   
   Francesca has found the pace in Newport to be much slower than in Boston.
   ...
   Francesca has also found time to refocus on her creativity, something that runs in the family, as her grandfather was a tailor and her mother is an artist.
   
   She specializes in jean jackets covered with beautiful hand-sewn fabric and antique buttons. Recently, a man approached her in a store and asked if he could buy the jacket off her back. She declined, but offered to make one for him. She sells them in various stores in the Rhode Island area and also takes custom orders. "I absolutely love doing it. People ask me how much work goes into them, but I don't even think of it that way, for I get such joy out of creating them."
   
   Francesca has found that in Newport there is always someone kind enough to help by sharing his/her experience with someone in the same situation. She wouldn't change a thing about her new life, although she admits it can be intimidating to start over. "It has been scary, but invigorating."
