…cleaning up…
Did a major cleaning this weekend. When I was in California I went through old magazines and donated a bunch to the local library. It is so freeing to let go. That is going to be my mantra this year. Johanna is making the move back west, which means I am moving into more of a painting role and we are getting a new person at work to take over my dealing with people part of the job. I am excited and very nervous at the same time. When I started the job it was a mess and I have created something that I am proud of and it is scary to walk away even if I am walking towards something I want. Maybe even more because I am walking towards something I want. This picture sums up the frame of mind I have right now, but I am starting to feel more grounded and getting ready to let go. I find it starts with magazines. I have some 'HOW' magazine issues if anyone is interested.

Congrats, Wendy! It is so scary to succeed sometimes, but I think that’s just wonderful for you.
I also love how you use the photo to describe your frame of mind, very descriptive!
