Thank you for visiting my blog. Every end brings with it a new beginning, and you may know that I'm beginning this blog at the end of a very emotional and difficult and amazing journey. My plan to move to San Francisco turned out to have some very major flaws, sadly, but fortunately this has brought some very exciting opportunities my way.
Foremost among these is the opportunity to focus my energies on my own life and my own career path, instead of devoting myself generously and unwisely to a partner and my partner's life and career path. At the age of 33, it is neither too soon nor too late to figure out what I want in my own life and make that a reality. So that's my goal: to figure out my own path and situate myself squarely and resolutely upon it.
My first step in doing this has been to STOP. To just stop. It's time to re-evaluate who I am and what I want, and nurture that person so that I can accomplish those goals! Accordingly, I have looked around and realized that I am in Atlanta. Atlanta is not ideal, but for now it's home, and I'm going to make it that way. I'm going to find a job, find a yoga class, find an apartment that feels less transitional, and sign up for all the training in web design and development that I can get my hands on.
By the time I go to San Francisco (if I go to San Francisco), I will be a much more competitive candidate for jobs that I want. It is unfair to put myself there now, unprepared and alone. Especially not when there are so many wonderful opportunities right in front of my nose.
It's time to stop looking for the future I want, and to concentrate on the present. Right now, I feel good about that.
You're the best!
