Lately, it seems that I am constantly weighing what to leave in and what to leave out. At the core of who I am these days is a mother, a partner, and a family:
But I’m also a friend too and sometimes when you have become isolated from your friends because of work and your family, it’s nice to know they can pick up the ball and reach out and touch you.
I woke yesterday morning to four missives:
1. You’re the best! just wanted to say hi… (Skype from another country)
2. You are fabulous – something good will come along. (email from out of state)
3. Hi hottie – just checking in (over AIM from NY)
4. I am here for you, you just say the word (in neighborhood)
Right now, I am about to embark on the first day of the next phase of my life, called for lack of a better title Plan B, the support that I have received from my friends and colleagues has been an enormous outpouring of love. An old source of mine wants to back me as I emerge from my cocoon as a trend maven, my accountant of many years wants to back me in a vacation rental business, a dear friend and neighbor wants to start a recruiting agency together, so many options, it’s dizzying.
The good news is that the universe is opening and a change is gonna come.
