Welcome to the magical world of transformation…

Oh my heaven…there is so much going on my life.  Since I haven’t written much personal stuff lately it’s hard to know where to start.  Well, why not just start anywhere?  Okay…

Honey (my hubby) is in Germany right now.  He went for work, but is staying for pleasure.  Good for him!  He works hard and he deserves the holiday – even if I’m here holding down the homefront.  In all honesty, I’ve enjoyed this time apart because while he’s been gone I’ve pretended that I’m a young woman with no responsibilities.  The ironic part about this pretending is that with him gone I actually have more responsibility.  But, I’ve never known what it’s like to live on my own – when I moved out of my parent’s house I moved in with my first husband and I was pregnant with Drama Queen (my 15 year old daughter).  So when the teens are gone (or sleeping) and all is quiet, I pretend I’m a new adult with no husband and no kids.  No, this doesn’t mean I’m cheating on my Honey!  It only means that I’m filling up a part of me that has felt empty for a long time.  Or maybe expressing a part of me who feels like she never got to play.  Yeah, that sounds more accurate.

Another thing in my life right now is that Inky Soul (my 19 year old nephew) who has been living with us for the last year and a half is moving out tomorrow.  HUGE TRANSITION!  I know that it is the best move for all of us and at the same time HE’S MOVING OUT!  He is such a big part of our family.  One fourth of our family to be exact – without counting the dog & cat who of course are also a big part of our family life.  I’m sure I’ll write more about this as the emotions hit and reality settles in.

My coaching practice is taking off in a completely unexpected direction.  I’m coaching solopreneurs and helping people set up their blogs.  It is like so amazingly cool that it doesn’t even feel like work.  Hey, isn’t that the description of a dream career?  Oh yeah!  I am so on the cusp of creating something incredible and what my clients are teaching me is that I have a talent for helping people articulate their unique message.  How fucking cool is that?!  Sorry about the language – I just get excited and I like to swear when I’m excited.

Anyhow, I’m going to sign off for now – we’ll be heading out for TND (Thursday Night Dinner) soon – but, I just wanted to post some thoughts as the beginning of my commitment to post daily.  Yup, you heard me.  I’d like to post each and every day.  I know that I won’t follow through perfectly.  But, I do know that when I do post it will be in perfect timing.

Have an awesome evening – or day – or morning – wherever you might be in your life or the world!
