My dearest blog,

(and by blog, I mean my small collection of very loyal readers who were abandoned without a proper goodbye or anything from me)

I'm sorry. I know, I swore it wouldn't happen this time. I never intended for this much time to pass, but it seemed that the longer I was away, the more it seemed like an obligation than something I did because I wanted to.

Then there's that unhealthy way of dealing with stress that seems to be my pattern and thats just disappearing off the face of the earth until things are good again.
This was a particularly long stretch of stress I'm starting to see.

So, the good news is...that I can even say the good news is, first and foremost. But I've had a lot of really great things start to happen in my life. In all the ups and downs over the last couple years, I've told myself that if nothing, I HAD to be at least learning some really valuable ( and expensive) lessons. However, after awhile, that one gets kinda old. I was sick of learning lessons...lessons don't pay bills.

But new jobs with the opportunity to be your own boss do! Thats right, I am officially self employed as of three days ago. I am already doing significantly better financially, mentally, and emotionally in just three days. My other salon is doing all they can to keep my clients from coming to me at the new place, which I can't say I'm surprised, but I am finding clients and they're finding me. So this only boosts my confidence that I made the right choice.

So, I hope everyone is doing good and although I haven't posted, I have still been reading everyone else's blogs and things....Well I'm off for now but I'll be back this time, I promise.
