Purpose

Oh my, it's been a few weeks since I've written anything. There has been a ton of things on my mind but it's been tough to get them on paper.

The main thing I've been thinking about lately is purpose. Everyone searches for their purpose in life. There are a million books written about it and all kinds of classes and therapy to help you discover what you were born to do. I've found myself suddenly in a place where I am reaching for these resources and it's very strange for me.

6 years ago when I graduated college it took about a year for me to figure out what I really wanted to do. Then it took another year to get there and then my Councilmember won the election and I was working for the Mayor of the 10th largest city in the United States! After three years of working in the job I wanted so badly, life took a turn and my marriage took me across the world. Now, as my husband goes to work each day, I am left to wonder "now what do I do with my life?" And the funniest part of this all is my husband says "do whatever you want." Whatever I want is a pretty broad range to choose from.

So, here I am embarking on this journey to figure out what's next. Where is my place in this big world and on this small island of Singapore? Let the exploring begin!
