I’ve been quiet lately…both here and on social media. There is a lot happening in my life behind the scenes, and I’m not ready to share it publicly–it’s that personal. For over twelve years now, I’ve shared so much of my personal life online (which is ironic, considering I’m such an introvert). Right now I’m experiencing a strong desire to pull back, almost entirely. There’s been a shift happening within me, and I strongly feel the need to retreat. Call it burnout, call it a mid-life awakening…I just know that I’m evolving and change can be scary at first. For the first time in ten (or more) years, I’m truly taking time for myself. Nourishing both my body and mind. Resolving childhood (and adult) trauma in therapy, setting boundaries, and learning not to define my self-worth through work or accomplishments. I don’t know where this path will lead just yet…and that’s ok. There is no set timeline for our dreams or life – I’m just thankful to be living it.
