Falling into Me

It is fall! I love fall so much...it is a time for renewal for me as things slow down and cool down. I am sitting here today reflecting that one this days two years ago I was here in Pittsburgh interviewing. It was Friday the 13th and by the end of the day I had a job offer in hand. I have come so far and so today it was fitting that I opted to finally trek home.

Between my house and office is large park and lots of hills. But I braved it with some interesting directions from a friend. I think the next time I will leave all my crap at my office and get it later instead of trying to walk with it but other than that it was not bad. I made it a bit over half way when I got a little lost and eventually got my bearings and back to Forbes where I caught a bus.

I am reveling in how far I have come. I am no longer worried about how far I need to go...I am in awe of how far I have come!

I took a leap and decided that being in a bad marriage was not the way to live my life. I took another leap and took on more responsibility at my old job and succeeded. I turned my life upside down and moved across the country to a city where I knew no one but put me close to my family. I have been peeling back layers of protection and discovering myself. I am slowly and steadily finding what it is that I really want in life. I am slowly uncovering the me that has been hiding.

Watch out world...in a few shorts years I have transformed myself. Now I am more focused and more in tuned with what I need to do. I am excited about what is on the horizon as I am falling into me!
