I've gone through some incredible changes in the past few months and consequently haven't posted much. My thoughts were to disjointed to even articulate - let alone share in a medium such as this. I have however figured out the cause of my increasing discomfort and inclinination to take flight immediately. I am in career paralysis.
I've worked in my field off and on for almost 25 years and I can do my job with my eyes closed. It poses no challenge, no reward, no excited and definitely doesn't motivate me to get up in the morning full of gusto. I've simply reached a stage in my life where I need meaning to my existence - and that includes how I earn my living. Changing careers won't be easy. Exploring my inner abilities, talents and drive on the other hand is quite easy. Finding a job that combines all of those? Tough but doable. Wish me luck in this new journey.
Random musings about finally growing up...or not.

About me: I am but a mortal woman who has lived most of her life questioning everything and rebelling against it all. I've lived day to day, every day until recently; I suddenly realized I was 42. They say wisdom comes with age, I am still learning what it means to be grown up.
Gina, I'm experiencing much of the same struggle! I look forward to seeing how you approach the challenge and what direction you go. It's definitely not easy, and a bit scary at his point in life to be contemplating such a big change... Good Luck! Krazy-kat-lady.blogspot
