Stepping Beyond

The blog/website is my way of stepping beyond my typical circle of influence. Before getting my own domain, I used free services to blog and self publish. These days, I do all of that here and on my instagram/facebook pages. My circle of influence is still pretty small, but it’s time to take the next steps into the beyond.

This week, I told you I’m living apart from my husband. To find our way back to each other (assuming that’s what we both want), we are going to have to face some hard truths about what does not work in our life together. He met with an intake person at a counseling office this week. So, at least we are trying to make things better.

I am stepping beyond with my personal training. This week, I took the time to just veg. I am on antibiotics for blepharitis. On top of looking like I got into a fight for half the week… I was exhausted with muscle aches and fatigue. Starting tomorrow, I will actually get up with my alarm. I have just over a month until my fitOne. I miss my morning workouts and evening runs/walks. Hopefully our air quality will improve enough for my weekly street rides to/from work too.

I applied for a promotion in my department this week. I know at least one other person applied for it as well. If the person I know gets it, I would be okay with that. Because I know that I would be lifted up along with her. If it’s anyone else… well, who knows. I’m going to stick it out in Breast Care Services for as long as I can. My ideal position would be with the Breast Surgery clinics. I know the providers well; I work with the nurses daily in my current role; and getting to work with the patient population where I’ve been there and done that is very rewarding.

Today, I start back on my book proposal. I’m excited to get back to the writing. Stepping beyond the idea that I know is a winner and into the storytelling.
