Walking in the neighborhood, past homes of childhood friends, triggered some thoughts about where I come from and the path I've taken to this moment. I chose a life that was relatively safe - physically, fiscally, mentally and work-wise - and now I need a challenge, something that strips away the comfortable and forces me to rethink my strengths and face my weaknesses (like a Qualifying Exam...but real).
It is freakin hard to take a sharp left turn at the age of 36. But I know that I need this. When I imagine not getting on the plane, I get sad. I have to try. Who knows if I'll last the whole 27 months (place yer bets!) but that doesn't bother me. I'm confident I will make the decisions that are best for me. My life is my own - a true luxury and very empowering.
Next up, an FAQ! Let me know what you want to know!
