I’ve had a good deal of endings and many loses over the past 22 months. I often tell myself that it won’t last forever. This feeling of vulnerability, constant change and upheaval. I remind myself that the past always informs the future. I’ve had so many successes that my future will likely be full of the same.
At 22 I worked for the Senate, by 24 I ran my own ballot measure campaign, at 25 I was a Systems Analyst, at 26 I was a Product Manager, at 27 the Communications Manager for the Northwest, then a Channel Manager in mobile, a Marketing Director in software, and then had a successful consulting career South of Market in tech working for four start ups.
I married the man of my dreams and bought my first home before thirty. I had two beautiful daughters. My paintings have hung in galleries and I’ve written three books.
That was my past. A beautiful past. The future is now undetermined, and I bring to it my hard won experience, talent and determination.
The past always informs the future, and I’m planning on it being even better than I can imagine.
Love and blessings to all.
