No More of Saying Nothing

Wow. It's been 2 years of utter silence. All my friends that got me started on this I'm sure have long since stopped looking here for new posts. I don't blame them. In fact, I wonder if they still have their blogs up-to-date or even in existence. I'd check, but not being the greatest friend I have lost the links. To the original groupies--I'm sorry.

To bridge the gap from early posts to now, I finished Physician Assistant school in August 2006 and life has been an odd journey since. I moved to Kentucky in November 2006 where I have now set-up shop. Finding a PA job and keeping one has been rather difficult, however. (More on that later.) And what I didn't intend to happen did, and I couldn't be more grateful. I started in a recovery program for codependency and disordered eating.

They say we're like onions and have many layers to peel off. I now feel for an onion. Having layers stripped is not fun and it does stink sometimes, but there's freedom...a freedom I never thought I needed let alone would attain. Don't let my word choice fool you, I haven't arrived yet, nor is recovery about arriving. (More about that too at another time.) It's actually a process and all about the journey...the letting go of the old and embracing the new.

So anyway, my journey has brought me here: a place I want to call home, ministries that I'm slowing becoming a part of, and no full-time job which leaves me with the possibility of moving away. Oh, and did I say my extended family was here, as in the same town? I have 2 neices and 4 nephews--I don't want to leave them. Frustrations, let me tell you.

And this is the platform from which I will begin my talks. I am an expert on nothing else other than my life experience and my perceptions.
