Talking New member!

Hi everyone,
I'm a new member, but not necessarily a new visitor to this website. As a longtime follower of many of the technologies mentioned on this site, its really refreshing to find that there are others out there who know a thing or two about how we can create inspiring, majestic lives for ourselves!!

I'm finally joining the forums to both create some new online friendships and to reach out to others who may be able to help me out in a particularly challenging period in my life. Without going into too many details, I'm struggling to make sense of my "new life" - I've had a year which included two miscarriages, a freaky medical challenge and a separation leading to divorce from my husband, who was my rock and supporter but from whom I felt that for my growth, I had to leave. The past year also included a new job which is VERY challenging which, with everything else going on, has simply wiped me out with the radical growth I've undergone in the past year. (I have been on a trajectory for several years of growth, and this last one was a particular doozy!)

So I'm reaching out for some support and intellectual conversations as I am currently in the process of learning who I am again - in a few years of emotional/personal growth work, I came to the realization that I have lived my entire life according to the expectations of others...and no, not because "they" asked me but because I chose to be a chameleon and be "whomever I thought they wnated me to be". A self actualized person that does not create :-) So I left my wonderful husband (we're still talking daily, we still love each other and he understands why I did this) so I can figure out who I am.

So I took a few days off from work and am spending some time identifying some simple things..what makes me smile, what I'm passionate about, what I love to do...and am coming up with very little...so i have a ways to go :-)

I am looking forward to getting to know many of you, and eventually, being there for you as I become a complete person inside and out.
