Breaking Free

Well friends, it's Fall. In San Diego, the seasons aren't so drastic or visible in the weather. It is cooler, oh thank the heavens! However, just about everyone I know is going through some sort of major change in their life. There are break-ups, hook-ups, moves, career changes, and more.

In my corner of the universe, I've decided it's time for a change as well. As many of you know for the last I've been taking care of my Grandma. The emotional energy it takes to be there for someone in need is tremendous. I came to ya'll for support, love, to kvetch, or all of the above.  Heck, I even vented on this blog!

I want to thank you for being there. For replenishing me, relieving me from my inner guilt and frustration. Nothing could have given me the power and courage to move forward like my friends. How funny that 'I Want to Break Free' from Queen just came up on my internet radio.

My seat's been taken by
some sunglasses :)

So what will I be doing next? I made friends with a gentleman who runs a software company just up the street from me, and simply asked for a job. Wait... I think I asked for a job and then made friends.So excited that my commute with be 3 minutes by foot. Honestly, it would take longer to get in my car, drive, and re-park.

In other news - I'm Volunteering for Words Alive, an org dedicated to literacy. Also became a member of the Society for Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. I'm almost done with my curriculum to teach a class on Japanese Culture and Crafts. Hope to start that all November/December.

It literally feels like my life is one big collage or puzzle. So many different parts that I want to put together, that it's hard to slow myself down long enough to concentrate. That's one of the biggest beasts in my closet. I don't know if it's just the Sagittarius in me or a mix of ADD and my quirks all in one. When at work, I'm often hyper-focused but when it comes to my life... it's another story.

Whether you're going through a major life change or simply having a change in perspective we're all in this together.
