A good friend of mine told me that life is a little like juggling when you are a Mum. You have three balls, personal life-kids-professional life, but only the ability to keep two in the air at a time. I grudgingly may have to admit she is right....
I feel relief because my house deal is now done, house sold and firm and the house we are moving into is also now solid. One less 'ball' to keep in the air. I think perhaps the kids are who have been missing out with me so preoccupied with the house details and the fall season pressures of my job. Time to step back, breathe. Or so I hope. Never seems to work out that way.
Had a staff retreat where we reviewed business plans and new organizational focus. Never underestimate the stress one can feel when everything around the position you were just beginning to understand changes.... but like most things, a little time and perspective comes. I am in the Vol. Mgmt. program which is great and will open doors. Professionally I am beginning to see the circular pattern of where I have come from. It is reassuring. Though the plan was never evident at the time, now I can see the flow. Whatever happens when this contract ends, I feel rather confident in my options since the 'flow' has revealed itself. That connect is coming slowly into my life in areas it has been lacking. Professional and personal rebuilding, I feel fabulous at 35. Like this is MY year. Look out, this Lion is ready to roar.....
