An update of sorts (not out of sorts)

I have had a lot of people follow up with me individually since I stopped blogging, which is nice. It's a safe bet that when I don't blog, things are going pretty smoothly. It's the squeaky wheel that gets the grease, or so the saying goes... and the same is true of my bloggy thoughts. The squeakier they are, the more attention they get!

So, how is life for Tash these days?

Well, I'm glad you asked, dear reader.

1. The move home

Going brilliantly. Never better. Could not ask for more amazing housemates. While the transition was rather scary and there were more than a few moments where I thought to myself (and sometimes out loud) "what the hell am I doing, I must be crazy!" it all bedded down pretty quickly and has gone from strange-to-comfortable in no time at all.

But all fears aside, the company has done me the world of good, and the savings I will make mean I will be well-able to afford to travel next year at the very earliest.

2. The new job

Going brilliantly. Never better. Could not ask for a more amazing situation. The change in jobs had nothing to do with being unhappy with my previous employers, and everything to do with looking objectively at what my goals were in my career and realising that I needed to move to achieve that. The support I got in my previous company to explore my options was nothing short of brilliant. And, again while I was nervous about having made a mistake, the new job is proving to be exactly what I listed when I wrote down the values I look for in a role.

3. Travel

This has been put on hold for a year. While it will always be an ultimate goal for me, things didn't work out financially as I had hoped with one or two things, and I am being patient as the Universe provides a clearer path there.

4. Life, love and everything else

Well, we shall see what is down the track for me, but everything else seems to be at status quo since I last blogged.

I have decided to get back to meditation, I think that will do me the world of good. I am also focusing on music, and my next step will be to learn the guitar and start writing down some songs in my head.

I have been helping out the family a fair bit, my dad's starting up a car detailing business (anyone need a car makeover?) so putting my entrepreneurial and marketing hat on for him has been fun.

Not to mention getting the family into more healthy eating patterns with my 12WBT nutrition plan! Oh, and getting back to the gym more frequently, that's been another great step for me. Not a consistent step, to be honest, but a step in the right direction.

Well that's all the news that's fit to print!
