Ahoy, there be new ahead!

It's interesting to be stepping back into this space again, after three years.  I see livejournal as too much of a random spattering of old history and facebook is for quick minimal connection, so here I am.

I lot has happened in the last three years and what's present for me now is that new is on the horizon.

Teresa G. and I were talking a few weeks ago at a coffee shop and I said something about how I'm not so much of a risk taker to a new suitor of hers.  She smiled and chuckled, her eyes and mouth both saying something to the effect of that we're not physical risk takers but we shake up our lives.

I'm both nervous and excited about some new quakes, predominantly, moving to the Bay Area and taking six months to focus on renewing my energies and interests.

As part of this focus, I've been journaling in a new way.  Write in the future as if it already happened:

This evening I arrived at Fusion 2011 (personal growth retreat).  It was so good to see the faces of last year and hear that those that couldn't make it were off adventuring.  I shared with everyone how relaxed I've been feeling.  My six months of renewal were amazing.  I took art classes, started an amazing garden, and began learning Portuguese for James' and my trip to Brazil.  I went back to educational consulting and am loving it.  Working with kids and families feels so good.  Speaking of family, I've been skyping with my brother and sister and getting to know them better.  I even visited my sister in Chicago.  It's been a wonderful year since the last fusion.

  I wonder...what's new for you?
