Changes.

So many things are happening in my life right now. 

Quickly, as 2025 wrapped up, I found myself in the perfect mindset - and at the perfect (for me and my kiddo!) house. 

And so, I made an offer. 

And on New Year's Eve, I got the word that the offer was accepted, after a little back and forth, and I was going to be buying a new house in the new year. 

We would be moving. And semi-soon. 

A few weeks earlier, I said goodbye to my childhood home for the first time. 

Honestly? That deserves a post of its own. 

I'll come back to it. Someday. When I'm really ready. 

But the new house? The contract? 

It took about 30 days into the new year, and I closed. I was a homeowner. 

We did it!!! 

We bought a new house. 

I did it!!!

Completely on my own.

And a week later? 

I was laid off.

Well, in actuality, I learned I was going to be laid off at the end of the month. 

February felt dreadful. 

I simply didn't wanna. 

The process of finding a new job was so damned overwhelming. 

I just couldn't. 

I had to pack. 

I had to move. 

But wait, I still had to 'work'. Sort of. 

End of February was my final day of work. 

Though I hadn't seen clients in some time. 

And now - ? 

I am reminding myself that I am still a therapist. 

I can still support people. 

I know what I am doing. 

I have this degree for over twenty years. 

I have my clinical license for seventeen. 

So.

I put myself out there. 

I looked at what I really wanted. 

Want. 

And now? 

I have a few positions lined up. 

Three jobs, essentially. 

And I'm so excited. 

And so nervous.

And also happy. 

Because this shoe that finally dropped at the previous job? 

Has kicked me in the ass, and shoved me in the right direction. 

So. 

As I mention in the title of this post? 

Changes. 

They're here. 

They're coming. 

They're the path I see before me with every shift in focus. 

The move isn't complete yet. 

But it will be. 

The new jobs haven't started yet. 

But they will. Soon.

My life hasn't fully shifted yet. 

But it will, too. 

Changes. 

Such a terrifying, overwhelming, enlightening and exciting word. 

Let's see what such changes bring.
