the year I had time...
I feel as though I haven't done a general update about how my life is going in a long time. I guess that can only mean everything is going well - which it definitely is. I scrolled down my page to look at the goals and resolutions I had made for myself this year. I was actually amused to notice that most of them seemed to have been achieved...some of them not consciously while others were well thought out decisions.
In terms of work - I was made redundant which forced me to change jobs. I felt like the universe gave me a 'get out of jail free' card because I had 6 months of time to do whatever I pleased. At times it was like I was the only person on earth - I would dance for hours or head to the beach. I did everything on a whim and I was completely in the moment. I guess that's how so much time passed without me even noticing.
But I was recently offered the role as 'technical publisher' for Virgin Blue which is so exciting. I was over design/illustration and wanted to hone my skills in layout/publishing. It's easily the best paying job I've ever had and it comes with some great perks. $15 domestic flights!!!
In terms of dance - I feel like a kid in a candy store at the moment. The teachers and workshops and opportunities being offered to me at the moment are incredibly exciting and inspiring. I've spent this time away from work following my heart and really connecting with what's inside me. I recently performed my first sword solo which was a huge milestone and felt like a reward for a lot of hard work (and head pain!). My troupe has been getting paid gigs which is a great achievement for such a fledgling troupe. In connection with my spiritual journey I have been engaging in Chakradance and Kundalini dance classes which have been so rewarding. It's such a release and I would love to learn to facilitate this style.
Sean and I just celebrated our 11 year anniversary on the weekend. In a year or two we will have been together for almost a third of my life - it's amazing to think about but I couldn't imagine life without him. I have so much appreciation of his willingness to support my journey and allow me to have this time to focus on my passions. I have learnt so much about Sean this year which is increcible and reveals that you never really know a person - even after all these years.
I feel like there is about to be another big shift in my life - I have spent all year thinking that my birthday was going to be somewhat symbolic this year and mark a real beginning of change. I'm excited - I'm open to anything and anythings possible.
