10 years

Hard to believe it’s been 10 years.  (And I’m still standing.)

10 years ago I was barely hanging on. 

9 years ago I was pushing myself to another job, so I could go back to fully supporting myself.

8 years ago I plugged into what would become one of my greatest joys.

7 years ago I transitioned back to full service restaurants, a space that felt familiar and let me be me.... while figuring out where the other pieces of me fit in this new life.

4 years ago I starting searching a for new piece of myself.

3 years ago I plopped myself into my forever home - my cabin on a lake. 

2 years ago I said good riddance to a 20-year career and found the peace I had been missing. 

Last year I solidified licensing in my new field and could lean into discovering myself again.  Or anew.  

This is not a life I wanted.  This is not a life I envisioned.  But it’s a good life.  It gives me space.  It lets me be me.  It makes few demands and surrounds me in gloriousness.  It gives me peace. 

That’s a lot of stuff I didn’t have 10 years ago.
