Weekend Wrap Up

I didn’t know I needed an evening in the park with a live piano performance. The end of the year is always hard for me. A time when everyone is getting excited for the holidays and being with family, I tend to retreat and want to isolate, especially right now. I’ve been having a hard year, particularly with work and my career. I’ve been reading that thirty-nine tends the be year when people (particularly women) pivot and leave careers and start over. I’m turning thirty-nine in a week and I’m devastated to think about leaving my job, I’ve spent the last sixteen years working so hard to get where I am. I love the work that I do, but being an archivist/librarian in a corporate world is difficult, you are not appreciated and are often devalued. I did not know until I started working in this particular field, turnover is extremely high.

I don’t know what’s next for me, but I sure as hell know, I cannot stay where I’m at for much longer so it almost seemed serendipitous that my parents gifted me tickets to a local MindTravel event. Once the sun set and the night sky turned black, I rolled over onto my back, starring up at the stars listening to Murray Hidary play piano softly while also taking in the surrounding sounds of nature, I couldn’t help but start crying. I don’t know what’s next, I’m a little scared but also hopeful at the same time; last’s week blue tsunami was a win, so let’s cheers to the end of the Trump madness.

Happy November and I hope everyone has a great week.
