It's been kind of insane the last few days. A Goodbye lunch on Monday, meetings every minute on Tuesday, and then on Wednesday it was all meetings and then a release party for lunch and bowling after, and then meetings every minute until 5pm ( Read more... )

I'm glad to hear that you have the opportunity to take a leave of absense. I also think it takes a lot of courage to make such a huge change to your life.

There are so many parts to you that I'm sure its difficult to stop focusing on your professional/work side, since in this country we are so caught up in what we do for work.

But just take a moment and think about all the things that you do that have nothing to do with your work. You will still be able to define yourself as an artist, a writer, a mother, etc.

I'm going to paraphrase a bit of advice you gave me once. You said that I should focus on what I could do, not what I couldn't. My advice to you is to focus on (and enjoy) the things that you will be doing, not the things that you won't be doing any more.

Take care,

Susan

*hugs* thanks!

It's good to be reminded. *grin*

BIG CHANGE=Confusion and dismay. It's good to remember that, too.

Change is scary!

It's ok to be scared. And excited and freaked and all the different emotions.

I think it's good to reflect on 'em, but I've been told (often) that I think to much. So it'd be ok to just let them flow through you as well. Whatever works best for you or feels right in the moment.

*hugs* Thank you.

That helps to just have the support as I freak out a bit. And everyone else keeps thinking about how happy I should be. *grin*.
