Life feels very new to me. I think it's a slowly rolling snowball of change blending the economy, my new work life, my new motherly life, the new presidency (feels very "end of an era" to me), and a new attitude about health and values generally. It all feels very good. My old self says "Too Good" and I am reminded of a verse from the Cars soundtrack, "Thinking that your luck will never change is like thinking it won't ever stop once it starts to rain." Of course, they meant it in a positive way, but I tend to believe shit and roses are cyclical. :)

But, I seem to be bathing in roses. Even with my kid getting beat at school and the economy in the shitter, I am still managing to feel crazy blessed every day and infused with a sweet aroma of possibility. I have no idea why. And I have also been thinking bigger lately, which is very unlike me. I tend to prefer being bogged down in the details. I actually think the day to day life at SageRock was bogging me down a bit. Since 2005, it's felt less like playing business and way more like the real thing and therefore a grind. A very important grind. But a little distance and a lack of client contact has reminded me that the business used to be a lifestyle tool for me and not a Lifestyle unto itself.
