THE UNUSUAL YEAR THAT WAS

I've been meaning to write about my 2018 for a while, but everytime I started thinking about what to write I got so overwhelmed I kept moving it from one to-do list to the next.

Today's the day I guess - much determination, no plan, no idea what the upcoming will look like; that kinda was the theme last year too.

This week last year I was made redundant. It sucked to be told that I didn't have a job anymore and I did have a lot of love for the business, but deep down I also knew it wasn't meant to be forever. I felt under-utilised while caring way too much. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do next either. So I took it as a sign that this was my chance to redesign my work world - this task we never seem to get around to because we're too busy/exhausted/distracted; this was the universe saying, you've got no excuses now.

Little did I know that not only my work world, but my whole world was gonna undergo a fair bit of redesigning. Relationship, family, friendships, identity - the challenges really lined themselves up last year. I learned so much, life has never so clearly shifted and evolved as it has over the last 12 months.
