The Road Forward

My hiatus from work has been nothing but amazing. I feel so grateful for the opportunity to take a break, rest, and heal.

One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. True majesty.

Each passing day brings insights and a mental tranquility that I’ve not experienced before—ever! This is the most ME I’ve ever felt as an adult. I do what I want each day, listen to my body, and see where the day will take me. It’s a gift and, again, I feel lucky to be doing this. But at the same time, it feels right. So, I’m not just relishing it, I’m confident in what I’m doing. I feel no guilt or shame. Only peace.

In my time away from the chaos of the entertainment industry, I’ve been enjoying down-to-earth activities. I’ve been immersing myself in the Arts, such as music, film, books, dance, and more. There are few things more nourishing to my well-being than the Arts. They’re like magic to my brain! I soak it up and feel the spectrum of emotions. Oh the joy! I also let my daily interests take me where they will. For instance, I’ve been cooking a lot. So fun to create on my feet and feel the satisfaction that comes from feeding family and friends. And solo hikes in the middle of a weekday. And eating well. And spending time with friends. And resting. And stretching! And more!

Through it all, I process and think. I’m not ignoring the hardships, just giving myself the time and patience. It’s a strange time and I feel alive.

So, I’m journeying forward, open to new opportunities. I don’t know where the winds will take me. I just want to feel the wholesome satisfaction that comes from helping others, contributing my creativity to something meaningful, and helping make the world a little better.

That’s all I ever wanted or ever will.
