Currently in transition...

What’s currently happening:

  1. I launched felt write two months ago. I’m navigating this business owner space and I’ve never felt more unsure of myself in my life. I’ve also never felt so free. It’s a weird place to be.

  2. I got a job buying again (what I’ve done for most of my career) to support my baby business and I lasted less than two months.

  3. I started working part time for my family’s business and I am looking for another part time job because felt write is my forever and I will do what it takes to support it.

  4. I moved from the city I grew up in to a city I swore I would never live in.

  5. Ebay-ing has become one of my favorite pastimes: it feels good to get rid of things and get paid for it!

  6. The holidays have been an emo rollerocaster. This time of year used to be my favorite and I would buzz with excitement. Now, I’m just trying to get through them. I talked to my niece yesterday about this and we decided it’s time to create some new traditions to look forward to.

Transitions have been the most fertile time for my growth and also the most painful. My feelings have overwhelmed me at times which gives me the opportunity to practice and pause. I have black and white data that supports that I can get through this, I’ve survived and thrived through adversity and transition before, and I’m better equipped to handle it now. One inhale and one exhale at a time.
