Dedicated to Michelle Oshen (www.michelleoshen.com) a true Brava de la Pelicula!
Okay, take a deep breath…now move forward! This is the year of no excuses. What I mean is doing what is truly fulfilling, exciting, thrilling and really blissful. Go for it! Don’t look back! Grab life by the _____!
Right before the New Year, I went under a health scare. My left breast repeatedly failed a series of mammograms, so after a sonogram I had to undergo a biopsy. Luckily, everything turned out alright. However, the time that lapsed between the first failed test and the biopsy results seemed like an eternity of self reflection.
What if? The C word is an ugly one! Would I go through the treatment? Would I just travel the world and ignore the cure? Would I get a new pair, porn-star style? Would I hide under a rock somewhere? So many questions raced through my mind.
These big questions made my decision to leave my day job very easy. What difference does having a steady income mean after facing one’s own mortality? I reflected on my options during the holidays and submitted my two week notice on my first workday in January.
“Two more weeks,” I thought, “then my dreams will all come true.” Well, those two weeks are over as of last Friday. My new life begins now!
