to spending quality time with topi
The beginning of the new pages in our book of life….to start from the inception of the blog. Shortly after Rich & I were engaged we found out about a wedding giveaway contest…thinking of the expenses of a wedding coupled with the lack of pennies in our bank account, we entered, and made the top 5 finalist. One of the recommendations of the contest was to start a blog. Hence, www.tobeinggreen.com began. Faithfull while the fruit was being dangled at us, shortly after the prize was gone life returned to busy times, and the entries dissolved. A vow to be better and write in the journal, share the exciting things that we saw, ate, and drank! Sharing the wealth of knowledge as we all can learn & grow from sharing! The idea was fabulous. As you look back, you can see I had one entry in over a year.
Fast forward to about two months ago. My occupation as a Studio Manager/Producer was taking over my life. I loved the job, the people, and was quite proud of what I had accomplished over the almost 8 years of working in-house.
The other part of me was completely torn up. My cousin had a baby in February. Not once did I see her during her pregnancy, and I have yet to meet my newest addition to the family! It hit home. If I wanted to continue to work all the time I could…but the reality was that I would not be able to live my life the way that I wanted to. Something needed to change.
The job also had me working long hours…thinking about the work for the company late into the night sometimes even waking up in the middle of the night. All for someone else, whilst my family businesses could certainly use a hand. My hours began to grow without additional compensation; my income was diminishing. I realized that I am a business as well. My time is worth something to me, and my family. I need to spend time with my fiancé, our lovely pooch Topi, our family, and equally as important me. I came to the conclusion that I needed to figure out me. Where my path would lead me. I determined that the path I was on was not right.
I live simply. My bills are minimal, and I have a sugar daddy…well he actually only has small sugar cubes, but he has committed to supporting me while I figure out the next chapter in our book. I decided I would give my notice, and concentrate on the things that matter most to me. Family.
Here goes the next page in the journey of life.
