In my last post, I mentioned that I felt big change was coming. Oh man.
I’m currently in Los Angeles, having resigned from my job and moved from DC two weeks ago (what a transition!!!!!). I’m moving to New York in the fall. I’m getting married in August/September. I’ve been writing regularly for really great sites, “Peaceful Dumpling” and “Grown Up Truth“, about things that invigorate me. I’m reinventing myself.
My reinvention (or, rather the pre-cursor to it) is, in part, what held me back from posting more frequently the past year. I knew vaguely where I wanted to head, I just didn’t know how I was going to do it or how I wanted to present myself in the interim. I stayed away from all social media, entirely, for a while for that reason.
There was also a pesky fear of judgement that melted away late last year (or, at least, a giant chunk of it – enough for me to start writing, again). That was pretty great. 🙂
I’ve dived back in now and I keep thinking, as I write for other sites – what do I want this site to be? I don’t quite know, yet.
I know that I want it to reflect all of who I am, the crude and the light. I want it to be transparent and authentic. I want to write “poop” as much as I write “spiritual”. I want to open up about my growth, my challenges, my frustrations, my triumphs.
To what end? I’m working on that, too. I know I want this site to be a vehicle for my authenticity, for my creativity and passion, and for my reinvention.
I’ve always known I wanted this site to be a vehicle for my diving into the world of personal development. It still is… but it’s becoming so much more, too.
This year is going to be amazing.

Exciting update!!! I’m not sure I know what all the new adventures are, but it sounds like you are excited about all of them, and that’s what matters 🙂
Wishing you the best, and happy belated birthday (in September?….anyway, I know I missed the last one whenever it was!).
Cheers, Waffle
