Yeah, I know. I’ve gone from posting once a day to posting once a week. That’s quite a shift. I think this whole ‘life transition’ thing is impacting my ability to be a public voice. To some extent, I’m in the process right now of trying to figure out what I want my voice to be. Something sparked my sense of direction in life today, though. A new friend came to me with a great idea for a website, which would make use of her skills in a fulfilling way and contribute to a larger group of people. She’d been mulling over the idea for the past two months, and hadn’t acted on it. As soon as she mentioned it to me, though, I jumped on it, and started spouting ideas and advice for how to get it off the ground. Granted, I don’t have time right now to pour much of my own sweat equity into her dream, but it’s invigorating to be able to help in the ways that I can. This is the fourth time someone has come to me for help with a great new creative idea in the past few months. People trust me to be supportive, and they know I can find the resources they need to push forward. I love it! I am a project person. I am an optimistic idealist who believes anything can happen, and has proven that numerous times. I love the beginnings of projects–when they have endless potential and crave nurture and dreams. I love the sense of accomplishment that comes from building something that can thrive without me. And more than anything, I love helping people achieve dreams that the “real world” tends to crush. I’m a creator, I’m a consultant, I’m an advisor, and I’m a teacher. Can I make a steady career out of this? I sure hope so…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
