2016...2017...2018...2019

Oops, I did it again?

Yes, it's been 3 years since my last blog post.  Blogging and I have just never really clicked.   

Much as changed over those 3 years, and it seems that I am now at a point where my blog, Facebook, a couple other web sites, and my home/business are all going to come together to become the new direction of my life.

So what's changed?

Well, my boys are grown up and living on their own.  It's been scary for this mom to watch all of this happen, but both are doing well and I'm very proud of them.

Because they moved out, space became available in the house, not that I was free to just fill it anyway I pleased.  After all, there's the other half with his thoughts and opinions too!  More on that in a bit.  Suffice to say, the room usage has changed rather drastically.  That's one part of what's changing the direction of my life.

Another factor at play - severe burnout from the job that I always (almost anyway) adored.  After 24 years of teaching Fashion Design classes in a 2-year degree program, I hit the mental/emotional brickwall of burnout.  Really needed to step away, at least for a little while, and rethink me and my future.

I've been experimenting with Facebook pages as outlets for some of my ideas on things to do, and on things to let go.  

I've set up a Lessons.com profile and am exploring the possibilities of teaching outside of the community college environment, where I will have more control.

Add it all up.  It's a lot.  So many things that I can do in the years ahead and I am excited.  It's a good feeling.

Much more to follow!
