Too much!!!

Too much pressure built up...I think I blew it up today!
Tension between personality types and leadership styles came to a head today. Not my proudest moment - but had to be done. Things just don't get better if you hide them and pretend...
Just wish the other woman leader thought that way....

And then finding out a superstar is leaving. Just not enough left in my tank to take this one. I didn't break down crying but I sure felt like it - and instead of being happy and congratulatory - I was moody and sullen. Bad girl!!

Trying to focus on the happiness left in my life - doing my first triathlon this weekend and quite excited. Feeling fit and healthy and even a little tan action going on. Woo hoo!

Exhiliration

Such a feeling of relief, happiness, excitement, sadness, fear all rushing through me at the same time...
6 months of intense work deadlines came to an end yesterday.
I get to breathe again, to think again rather than react to the latest urgent issue, to feel again rather than close off to just survive.
At the same time a fear of "what's next?" and "can I do this again?"
Heard that one person I know will not be doing this again. That's life I guess but when you are a team you bond the most in those times of Stress and pressure. So sadness prevails....

Love is what matters

As today is valentine's day I get to be spoilt by my husband.
Now this does not happen often nor every year. The past 2 years have been dark years for us with it being easier to see the faults in ourselves and eachother.
But in just the past weeks we have both been trying to embrace life for living. The fun, the adventure, the people we meet, and the way we are eachothers friend, confidant, lover, and soul mate.

I was surprised and spoiled on Friday with the most beautiful arrangement of roses and lilies. I carried it around with me all day reciting the message inside.
"you are the bang that started my universe"

Saturday was a day out combining the adventure and excitement of a race with a walk on the beach. Can you believe that san Diego in feb is 70 degrees. Wow!!! Coming back home and enjoying our gorgeous house, lying in the sun, finishing the day with a great bottle of Syrah.

After a long night of sleep (how much I need to catch up here with the work hours I'm pulling and the sickness my body has been ravaged with).

I wake up to be treated to an outdoor oasis. Photos from our 16 years together encircling a throne to sit on and be cherished. Breakfast ensued that was fit to be made by any Top Chef master!!!

Oh what it is to be loved in life! Enjoy it, treasure it, celebrate it!

January life

Trying to match my personal life to my work life - which means pack in as much as Possible into a few hours.

Hiking mountains
Biking cliffs
Lost 12 pounds...think it is more stress related...
