Leaves and Feathers

This year, I:

• Quit nannying
• Moved out of Brooklyn, to Northampton, MA
• Worked with the kids at the Quaker retreat
• Tried out being a UU
• Considered divinity school
• Ended a long-term relationship/engagement
• Was unemployed for several months
• Had to live with in-laws and friends for several months
• Moved back to Brooklyn
• Did QA work and got paid for it
• Took a job that doesn't pay enough with a boss who I don't get along with
• Joined a coven
• Went to Philcon and had a fantastic time
• Sang publicly for the first time since being on T
• Had a scare when I threw my back out
• Continued raising the kitten
• Lost a little weight
• Started a new relationship
• Started a Pagan blog
• Realized how bad a fit NYC is for me
• Started making plans to move to Boston

Generally, my overarching goal for 2011 was to increase the mindfulness and intention I bring to my life. I feel I succeeded in that goal. None of the things that have happened have been truly problematic, and I can see the path out of the difficult bits, which was so untrue last year that it hurt. All in all, I've done ok.
