A new beginning...

Dad and I talked about many things over the weekend. There are some big changes coming for me, a new chapter will be starting soon, but I can't talk about it here yet. Let's just say I'm looking forward to something new when I turn 45 this year (on June 25). That doesn't leave me much time to put things into motion. I'll talk about here as I can, as things become more solid.

Contacts I've been making on AirTran have paid off. I've got an offer for a speaking engagement in Florida coming up soon, and hopefully, this, along with the things I'm not at liberty to talk about yet, will start to propel me closer to my life's dream of late.

I'm feeling better, physically and mentally, than I have in a long time. My sense of purpose is returning, which is something I'm hard-pressed to live without. There are many things that I know to be true about myself, and one of those things is that you can't make me do something I don't want to do. I'm stubborn that way, and I'd rather starve that hate where I am in life. That doesn't always breed sound decision-making, but I've gotten better at not cutting off my nose to spite my face over the last ten years or so.

Right now, I've just got to make sure that the money works out OK. Everything other than that is a piece of cake.

Ciao for now.
