Well, some time has passed since I’ve written, so I thought I’d take a few minutes to write again. A little while back, I separated from a business partner, for a lot of reasons.

This move forced me to plan, write and execute an entire workshop on my own. It was a tremendous amount of work, and I was totally exhausted going into the event yesterday. It was also a raving success. The group’s energy was high, the information and ideas flowed and it was great.

I’ve always thought of myself as a confident and capable person, but leading that group, and signing up other people (many of whom are much older than me) into my group re-affirmed my self confidence. I do know what I’m doing, and I was really glad I made the move I did.

I have finally found the thing I love. I love marketing, and I love computers, I guess I always have, and I love teaching and inspiring people. This is the perfect balance of all of those things.

I’ve heard time and again that when you find the thing you love, it’s not work to do it, and now I’ve experienced that myself. Yes, I was beyond exhausted after yesterday’s meeting, but it was an excited exhaustion and it didn’t feel like work, it felt like home.

Running this group, striking out on my own, all a bit scary, and all so worth it.

39, and finally coming into my own, finding my place…

and I am happy.
