Something More

Okay...so I am reworking, rethinking, remaking myself. Again. I'm looking at clinical programs for human sexuality. I've met with area leaders to consider a cafe. I opened a reseller's account. I've picked up books on starting a business and redefining yourself.

One of books I'm reading through is Something More, which talks about excavating a deeper, more authentic self. One of my complaints is that I hardly know myself anymore...I don't have favorites, I don't know what my hobbies are, I am not sure how to define myself. This book is full of romantic cheese that I find insightful enough to pull out a notebook to take notes and consider her "illustrated discovery journal" project. In the first couple of pages, I've already found tidbits that resonate with me.
"Regrets...caused by recollections of things we loved once but have learned to live without." "We'll exhume all the perfectly reasonable choices that derailed your dreams and brush off the clinging soil hiding the half-truths that have haunted you." "Why do you play down all your assets and call attention to your deficients?"

*wry smile* Do I really think one book has all the answers? Not really. But it's a wistful hope that maybe this one will provide another CLUE to finding A path. I'm so tired of feeling like I'm stumbling and wandering in circles.
