I woke up earlier than usual this morning because my puppy (Stella) decided that she wanted to wake everybody up and wouldn't stop bouncing around the bed. She has this little pink stuffed piggy dog toy that she kept picking up and dropping right next to my face! I wanted to sleep more, but I'm pretty happy to get to spend time with her.
Right now is a time and a season of major life changes in terms of my professional career, and I have to be honest that it's been very challenging for me. I've been on the same path for about five years now, and figuring out that something is not right for you and learning to let it go can be incredibly difficult. Even when I know I'm making the right decision for myself and for my family I find myself second guessing every single step along the way.
Starting over in new ways can also be very testing, particularly if you struggle with self confidence. My greatest weakness (probably personally and professionally) is how deeply deeply sensitive I am-- which is great in that I care so much for people, but not so great in that I have a thin skin and let everything get to me...and that can be deeply hurtful. I'm working on striking a balance and not taking absolutely personally, but it can certainly be difficult when I get so invested in things.
The weather here in Maryland has still been in this weird state of transition to Spring with some rain and gloomy weather. I tried to bridge my outfit today to be warm and cozy with the weather but still have some hints of summertime, so I picked a knit fit and flare dress. It's from Ross and I think it was about $10.00, and it's one that they seem to offer every so often in different patterns-- I have a floral one also. It's paired with fleece leggings and a pair of zip up heeled ankle boots (also a Ross find). Stella also got in on the pictures again today!
