Some catching up to do. Well, first things first. I have changed jobs. I have found that as I am turning 40 this year there are changes I want to make in my life. No longer do I want to be the corporate guru or the career woman who climbs to the top of the corporate ladder. Okay, so I had figured that out a long time ago.
It was time to make a change, but one that didn’t totally leave my family devastated financially. So, I’ve gone on commission with my old job which gets me out of the office. I didn’t like going back into an office. (Which I was pretty much forced to due since last August and September. I don’t have the ambition or the stamina for things I’m not passionate about. I’ve also discovered that I have no patience for stress. If it is something stresses me out—poof—it’s going to be gone. Honestly, I don’t have time for drama, whose doing what to whom in my life.
However, I have a few passions. One and the first is my family. I love them dearly and in the past months they have been sorely neglected, not intentionally but due to job demands on my time I knew I had to make a change for me and for them. So I have embarked on a new career. One that I truly love and also does give me more time with my family. I have met so many wonderful and exciting people since January that it boggles my mind.
I have been exposed to some wonderful people and they have inspired me and my writing. Being observant (or in my case having not being able to not notice things—some might call this attention deficit disorder and sparked some wonderful stories) In the month of March of I have finished two short stories, and I’m almost done blocking out a story I started a while back. I also have notes for two other stories. I’m actually very proud of the two short stories. They are full of emotion, passion and wonderful characters that I would love to meet. I don’t know if I’ll ever do anything with them. At this point I’m just trying to get back into the habit of writing every day, which at first was very hard. I was on hiatus for almost eight months, not writing the first word, but my brain never stopped creating, never stopped dreaming. And that is what the whole creative process is about…dreaming.
I am a good dreamer.
In other news, I still haven’t gotten my laptop back (the wanker) but I have been doing other writing projects. Free lance projects, interviews and fun things that I’m enjoying.
So all in all my life is slowly but surely coming back into focus. Next week I start exercising again and taking care of myself. For those of my friends who had my old home phone number it has changed to my business line. I see no reason to pay three phone bills so if you don’t have my cell or my old business line drop me a line in e-mail and I’ll get the right numbers.
I hope that all my online friends are doing well and hopefully now you’ll start seeing a bit more of me!

Michelle,
I'm glad to "see" you again. Sorry that real life has intruded, I can so understand you.
Yay that you've completed two stories, I can't wait to read them. And family is much more important, sometimes mine drive me insane but then you can't choose your family.
Missed you heaps.
Hugs,
Sheryl
