Ch..Ch..Ch..Ch...Changes......

After being away from the Blog scene for several months, I realize there have been numerous changes to the blog format that I need to become acquainted with!

Along with the changing of blogs and seasons, some changes have also taken place in my life over the past year. This reminds me of a song lyric from "No Time" by The Guess Who...."seasons change and so did I..."

The first major change for me was turning 50 last year. This triggered a long process of introspection and soul-searching. I began to look at my life differently. What I thought used to matter, no longer did. Actually, for the first time in my life, I was becoming aware of who I really was and what was truly important to me.


This led me to yet another change that took place this year.......a career change!  After twenty-five plus years of working in the office administration field, sitting at a desk, I decided a change was long overdue. My current job was no longer fulfilling and I was becoming increasingly bored with my work. My children had already graduated from college, moved on and married. The timing seemed so right.  So, in May of this year, I decided to formally retire from a 15-year position at my current job, and move on to (finally) pursue my passion!
 In staying true to myself, I am currently finishing up my studies on garden and landscape design and plan to start up my own garden design business in the coming year.

I believe there will also be a change in how I feel about gardening this coming season……
