Hanging, Bali, 2008.
"The future is no more uncertain than the present."
Walt Whitman
On Monday, I finally got my new work permit and the freedom to make a life change.
On Tuesday, I resigned from a job I've had for the past 10 years.
On Wednesday, I'm hanging in there...
Trying to decide what to do with my one precious life.
What's new with you?

I just did my citizenship test last week!!! One step closer to even more freedom. The freedom to petition for my mom to come to the U.S and the freedom to vote for a president that I hope will make a change!

Congratulations! I met you only briefly at the Samovar tea but your spirit shines brightly and whatever path you decide to take, your encounters with the people you meet will be a blessing to them.
Also...I recall some encouragement about a book? :-)

Wow, big changes in your life..I hope all turns out the way you want.
I got a great offer to be involved in a huge art project. Never expected this to happen.

Hooray! At last! Am so thrilled you have the evidence in hand! A whole new phase of wonder and possibility begins. Now's the time to follow your bliss on your art and work path.
It was so much fun spending time with you in San Fran. Just got home and your gorgeous photograph is reminding me of our friendship (as though I need reminding) and many more adventures ahead. xoxox

Did the same 6 months ago, quit my job after 8 years of being unhappy.Take this time to fly to new heights. You will come back to the nest and find yourself. Enjoy your journey. Love the pics of China town.
