New beginnings

Today marks the end of a month that has mostly felt like an endurance test. Between the bitter cold, two weeks of personal illness and a troubling family situation, I wrapped myself up and hibernated from the world at large.

After the fallout of my redundancy a few months back, I have just started a new job and some freelance writing work has fallen into place. It might be a while away but I can now imagine feeling like the way I felt when I took this picture in Bellagio - sunkissed and carefree.

R is for...

Redundancy. After managing to avoid it for several months it struck on Friday and knocked the wind out of my sails for a few days. I was confused, sad and angry; but now I feel a real sense of freedom and genuinely excited by new possibilities. I'm going to take some time to figure out what I want to do next and, as my dear friend Catherine says, to find the zen.
