New Directions

It is time for a bit of a celebration. I am now settled over here (for newbies I used to live on the other side of the continent), I have my new name, my health is improving, I enjoy my job, my art is coming along slowly but nicely, I have the most incredible friends.

What an incredible change in direction my life has taken from when I was in Western Australia, desperately trying to bust out of something and just be free, to be me.

Okay there are bits I need to change (going through a weight gain period at the moment - something I can ill afford at the best of times) or goals still to be reached (I haven't had my first exhibition yet) but they are the challenges of life - the bits that make it all worth while.

Sounds pretty positive, all in all. I hope things keep improving! :-)

Good for you! I don't know your reasons for making these changes, but I do know (after doing it myself) that it has its scary moments. Take a step back to breath when that happens. You'll be fine. And how do I know? Because you have done all this great stuff already!
