I'm doing well. Feeling really good about where life is taking me in 2014.
The healing process is going ALOT better since I have no communication with X. Sometimes I wanna smack myself on the head for how long it took for me to detach from my sitch.
Struggling to find my footing in the dating world. A crush on a friend has brought on interesting challenges.. especially the closer we get. Trying to protect my heart but not live in fear.
It's a balancing act. Sometimes I think about how much easier it was.. when I was only focused on trying to make it through the day not crying... haha!
Oh life.. it sure is fun!

It's been awhile since I've updated... so here we go.
I'm transitioning in my work. By the beginning of April - I should officially be part of the Director's Guild of America. It's a long process requiring me to submit paperwork to prove that I have been on movies and TV sets as an Assistant Director for over 400 days. It has to be approved by two committees and I have to be voted in. Thus far one committee has voted yes so hopefully the 2nd will as well.
This is an exciting/scary transition. It's a huge accomplishment in my career and means more pay, bigger shows and health insurance (yay!) I literally do a little dance each time I make it through a step.
The scary part is that it will require me to work union jobs ONLY. I have been building up my union contacts the past year... In a way, it's like starting over with my network. It's definitely a test of faith that my actions and abilities are enough.
The memories have been flooding in. This April will be three years since my separation. 3 years ago - I barely had the contacts to work enough to pay my bills. 3 years ago - I barely had the attitude to make people want to hire me.
There are 100s of moments in my life that is leading me up to this change in my career but the BD is probably one of the biggest.
The daily grind of life often makes it difficult for me to see how far I've come or how much I've changed. Frustration builds up and my want to change and grow makes me impatient.
The BD opened the doors for me to be a better person. The pain created an opportunity for me to change.....
... and today - I am so thankful I took it.

I am glad you posted that. I have a better understanding of what you are trying to further achieve now.
You’ve traveled a long way on your journey and managed to improve yourself while learning from the path.
Be proud of yourself and what you’ve achieved.
No time to rest on laurels, time to appreciate certainly! There are more paths to tread on life’s journey.
Change/life is like that, recognize need, plan, gather resources, execute, plateau, evaluate, recognize need….rinse and repeat. Steps on the path, sometime baby steps.
