Defining oneself. Who have I been in the past decade? When tasked with this question, I found many answers. Holistic health counselor, wife, mother, part-time worker, creative card architect, hand lettering artist, fledgling web design student, foodie…..it is all there, the makeup of me. What does this accumulation of experiences lead me to do next? Now that my son is school age, I have a modest amount of kid-free time available and more of my brain back for different uses, I keep trying to impress upon myself this concept/belief that I am supposed to be something, to use these narratives of my life to make a career of sorts.

I find that I am overwhelmed, the world is your oyster sort of thing. How do I create work that encompasses my skills and experiences? Oh, and be flexible for child care needs? School vacations? Summer vacations? Yikes!

Just breathe, right?

I am so very grateful for the continued space and support that I receive while I get to figuring it all out. The mothership, full of experiences and desires, is now ready to go launch. There will be so much more to happen on this journey and I will be happy to share as I wander onwards.
