2017 Sabbatical

For the past two years, I was so blessed to work at my dream job! I did facilitation and Instructional Design for Google. It was amazing in so many ways. But, after two years, I was ready for a change, and since there were no internal roles that made sense for me, it was time to leave. 
So, what's next? First, I went to Japan for 2 weeks with my family. I'll post more about that later. 
Today is the first real day of my sabbatical. It's monday, and I'm sorting through all the options, all the projects I want to work on, and figuring out how to follow a schedule b/c I'm way more inclined to go with the flow...and the day is over and I feel that much time was wasted. Now, I don't have a problem with just going where the wind takes me...I think it's one of the reasons why I've ended up here, in this place of choice...this place of freedom...(more about that if I ever write the book about my life LOL)
So, I started creating a plan for my days. 
Write, exercise/yoga, home stuff (mostly organizing projects), learn spanish (for my upcoming visit to Costa Rica), meditate, personal care (acupuncture, massage, etc)
and of course, BLOGGING! and maybe learn REIKE if I have time. 
I've tried blogging before, but could never get into the groove/routine. 
But this is really a way for me to track what I do, what I think, and process some stuff. I have so many ideas floating around in my head, I can't wait to get some of them down on paper/computer...and see what I can develop and grow and create. 
PROJECTING OUT
If I project myself out to 6 months from now, I want to look back and see that I have made good progress on the environmental project, feel better physically, mentally, and spiritually. I will have completed 5 videos for the environmental project, completed one of the 3 children's books, and finished the outline for the Remodel Your Marriage book. Of course, if I find that the ENV project is building steam, then I'll focus just on that and hold off on the others...spreading myself too thin has been a bad thing for me in the past, so I'll be careful about that. 
Also interested in doing some social things, some ideas are a monthly support group to help each other on passion projects, monthly pot luck dinners with friends...hmm maybe I'll look into stuff about Designing your life to get some help with envisioning what I want my life to be like. 
​Travel, friends, passion projects, volunteering, family time...food! dance, what brings me JOY?
