Feeling inspired after having lunch with a former colleague who is moving into a totally new field. She’s been taking classes, volunteering and doing internships and it has opened up a whole New World for her. About 3 years ago she left a secure job with an association to do freelancing and figure out what was next for her. Despite the pandemic turning everything upside down she has continued to move forward learning about what interests her. She isn’t sure where she will ultimately land in this new field, but is in a good space. It is so helpful to talk to people who have taken the leap and are now thriving even as they are still figuring it out. It was great to be able to spend time with her and not have to rush back to work, after lunch we went for a spontaneous walk on the Oakland waterfront, something I wouldn’t have been able to do on a work day.
I made zucchini bread this afternoon, using one of the zucchinis from my mom’s garden. It was so relaxing just to concentrate on one thing and not be thinking about all the work waiting to be done. Now, how do I figure out how to make a living this way??
