An Introduction of Sorts...or technically a re-introduction.

I've had this blog for years and year; multiple times I've achieved basically large chapters of my life... mainly because I'm not the same person as I was then and I want to start a new chapter. I am a firm believer in growth and while sometimes you don't grow in the ways you thought or want to; it's still growth.

So here's my re-introduction and a summary of the story so far...

I'm 34, single, fur-Mom to two kitties; Harper and Zu. I lost my kitty Pepper last October... It was one of the hardest things I've gone through. Last year was marked by loss for me....I lost a lot. The biggest thing I lost last year was myself... A lot of things contributed to that fact and I'm sure the longer I blog the more I'll talk about those things and the implications of that loss in the present. I have to remember to quit looking back...as it it doesn't change what happened. I let the past tear me apart once before and I can't let it happen again.

I'm probably going to blog a lot about flying and my journey with becoming a pilot. Being in the air is one of the places that I just feel like everything is gonna be okay. It's peaceful to me.

I used to be a Hospitality Consultant and I had a business partner that I ran that with... Last year he was going through some personal stuff and I was losing myself and not focusing on what I needed to. In the end we made some huge mistakes that basically cost us some really big clients..the kind of clients we needed in order to keep doing it full-time to pay for staff and ourselves. After going through all the shit I was going through and didn't really have my heart or mind in the game I decided to give it up as my primary career. I had just burnt myself out towards the end and it was yet another thing that just wasn't making me happy anymore. In late November I went through some stuff that just....made me realize how unhappiness can impact trajectory...so I made the decision that I would strive for happiness and good health...so that's what I did. I now work for a pretty amazing company where I can use all my skills and also grow into different positions. I am sad I'm not my own boss anymore but in some ways I like it better...I never have to stress over how I'm going to pay myself or my employers and I don't have to work so fucking hard for basically the bare minimum. (That was the other thing I decided late last year...no more settling for the bare minimum) I don't have to keep having the same fights over and over again with the clients wanting results without being willing to make changes. So yeah, now I work for a company in logistics/aviation and I'm happier for it.

I have some really great people in my life...I also put some distance between me and people whom I love deeply but couldn't trust anymore, who didn't respect boundaries, and/or just weren't helpful at helping keep drama out of my life. I will never ever kick someone out of my life or not be a friend if they need/want me but I can put distance and boundaries into place if that's what needs to happen.

All in all...this is a small summary of me so till next time :)
