Masterpiece -- Invincible...

[Jer2911]

I'm tired of my MLCer exW getting so much attention so here's a bulleted list all about me :-)

-- My job continues to go great. Have done a lot here in the past 15+ months including lots of networking and getting my name out there to let friends/colleagues know that I am interested in moving into a leadership position in an area more closely aligned with my expertise. It will happen!

-- Launching a new business on the side that should bring in some additional income. Should be launching in the next couple of weeks! Lots of hard work getting this moving, but will be worth it... In the process I was happy/proud to see how easy it was for me to open business accounts and a line of credit to get started. Very positive signs that I am on the right track...

-- Managed -- with my mom -- to take the kids on a very fun week-long vacation to the Rocky Mountains a few weeks ago. It was a wonderful trip and we made some amazing memories.

-- Doing really well financially -- have opened a new retirement account (through work), in the process of opening 529s for the kids (in my name), and have also had conversation with mortgage broker that made me feel much better about my current financial picture and ability to buy a home next spring.

-- Having fun with my kids when I have them during my weeks. Life is busy and hectic, but I feel very close to them and feel strongly that we will all continue to survive this experience.

-- I am dating someone, but will go into detail later about why it probably isn't something long-term. However, it hasn't been time wasted -- the experience has been fun but also has helped open my eyes about some things about myself and how the MLC has affected me (not all bad either)... I wasn't actively seeking anyone to date when this started, so I do believe it happened for a reason.

-- Feeling happy, peaceful (most of the time), and very optimistic about the future.
