Change and Reinvention

[carriemac]

Tiny Buddha has become one of my go-to sites for the times when I need a boost and a kick in the pants. (Justine Musk's is another, for anyone looking for a little inspiration.)

Another thing that's given me a kick in the pants? This weather. Nothing else, in the past decade, has shown me quite so quickly and thoroughly that the life I have now isn't the one I want to be living. For my mental, emotional and and physical health, I need to move on.

It'll be hard. I'm staying in the house where my grandmother lived before passing. My mom and brother live next door, as do my aunts. My sister and nephews are nearby. Everything is familiar here and I have a huge safety net to catch me when I fall--which I do. A lot.

I need to learn to catch myself. I need to live on my own terms, even if that means splatting on the concrete a time or two.
