It's time to recreate my life in a true new normal. It's been so long, I feel like I don't even know how to be in a "normal" anymore - even if it's a new normal! One thing I do know for sure -- I don't just want to go back to what I was doing pre-pandemic just because that's what I did. I’m starting by asking myself this one question.

Five years ago today, my life changed. On this day in 2017, I found out my job was changing from something I loved to something I had absolutely ZERO interest in. I still remember the exact moment my manager said the words. My entire body had a visceral NO reaction. It was also my birthday. CLEALY the universe was sending me a message.
