This one sneaked up on me.  10 years ago, I carried a box of my stuff out of the Century City office that was my corporate home for the prior decade and left to hang my proverbial shingle.  It was a rather naïve and instinct-driven choice – I wanted to coach, I’d almost finished my training and LOVED it, and I thought, Well, surely I can figure this out!

(Cut to every other big decision I’ve ever made, perseverating for days/weeks/months, analyzing the pros and cons, research options…not a whiff of all that!)

I’ve been thinking recently a lot about choices.  I’ve been thinking about, in all aspects of my life, the choices I make – the ones that I stick with, the ones that I try and then release like a quiet breeze, even the ones I put off or avoid…

Back when I started my business and created my website (yes, I designed and built the very first version myself!), I made a space for a blog and I thought, oh good, a place to put all my big, important thoughts about things! 😂

And in the first five years I wrote about a dozen posts.

(When were all those big important thoughts gonna show up??!)

Five years ago, I decided to commit to posting once a week.  Given my track record, this seems rather ridiculous in hindsight.

But here I am, five years later and, aside from summer and winter breaks, I have posted every single week of those five years.  And it feels like a real milestone...

Happy anniversary to me!

It’s been two years.

Two years since the last time I opened up facebook or Instagram to scroll.

(And about two months since I finally deleted the apps, well hidden in a folder, off my phone).

And I don’t miss it at all.

Make no mistake – it was hard early on...
