searching…

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

I am finding myself at a major crossroads in my life and I’m actively searching for a needed change. I am 47. My son is leaving for college this fall and my twin daughters are starting high school. My husband has changed his life dramatically and he is doing work that is both meaningful and engaging. I usually define myself as an artist, but the path has been pretty rudderless this last year. I’m taking some time—trying to gain a better understanding of how my talents can be best utilized. I want to use my powers for good (rarely for evil). I don’t mind the search. The process is a little painful, but never dull. It will be interesting to see what is revealed (or not) in the future. I would love to hear your stories of life’s transitions if you’re interested in sharing.

algebra v. geometry

“Life is a lot more like geometry than algebra.”

I found this while cleaning up my desk and files this morning. I guess because my preference has always been geometry that I associate it more with the positive feelings than algebra. But, when I think about it—LIFE has a lot of variables. We are always wondering if X equals Y then what?

However, we also talk in circles, triangulate relationships and find people square. So, I guess life is both a lot like algebra & geometry. Some days seem to have a lot more clarity than others and accepting instead of fighting that fact can maybe make our lives a tiny bit easier.
