Okay... So it's been awhile since my last post. Although its been silent, there's been much scurrying in the Stevens home.
Knowing that learning to say "No" cold turkey would result in miserable failure, I decided to create a list of tasks, commitments, and roles that I felt were holding me back from my goal, and then set a final date upon which all the tasks were to be completed.
With two months ahead of me, I went to work: designing websites, finalizes accounting projects, mending clothes, developing data maintenance systems, cleaning closets, and a million other odd sorts of jobs.
When May 1st arrived, I celebrated two amazing days: first my 35th birthday and second, the welcome of my new life.
There were no flashing ribbons of aurora borealis color in the sky. No bells sounded their cheer. And I spent the next day doing the same things I've done for the past 15 years. But still, something changed. It was internal. A joy, a hope, an awakening.
It was my life.
