Thanks Helen. I feel so blessed to have the time to spend with my Mom. It's so easy to get caught up in a stressful career trying to fulfill what we in the US call the "American dream". I am finally at a place where I am reassessing all of that and trying to find a path that fulfills my monetary needs as well as the true desires of my soul. I have decided to live off of my savings for a bit and test the waters in areas that I find joy. So far it really has been working. I have a little resale business selling vintage treasures that I find and am also in the process of seeing if I can move more towards my artistic endeavors in order to pay my bills. I'm just one of those people that doesn't need too much money to live so am blessed with taking the time to dabble in this and that and see what sticks. It's such a difference from a brain draining career. We'll see, I just don't want to go back to a stressful career in middle management. The funny thing is, I feel busier than I have in years, but my heart is happy and I don't come home feeling like I have the flu every night from stress :)
