Wipe it clean

There is something about new beginnings that is all at once revitalizing and horrifying. Like diving deep and realizing that you can't breath underwater.

How do you release where you've been to allow freedom in new experience? It has been one week since I had a major life shift (losing my job) and luckily I haven't, nor do I even care to, jump off a building or fire bomb my former employer. I like to think that I communicated to the universe long enough that I was unhappy with my job and the universe stepped in and handled what I could not.

Whether that happened or I was foolish enough to think the mistakes I made would go unnoticed are beyond my comprehension. What I do know is that something amazing happened that is now requiring of me so much Svadhyaya (self-study) that I cannot turn a blind eye to myself like I have for the majority of my adult life. It took losing my job to realize just how imbalanced my perception of Self has become-through work, friendships, relationships, commitments and everything else that collides in my life.

I can't pretend that this blog will do anything more than serve as journal masturbation (if that is even possible), but I hope to find clarity within myself as I slowly turn each page of this new chapter of my life.

Right now, all I want to make sure is that I put pants on every day . . .
