why hello there.
its been a while between drinks again.
but things have been fantastic for me.
how have you been?
i'm proud to say i've been sticking to my life simplification strategy well, still vegetarian, still skateboarding to work and to get around, still sharing showers and limiting my powered light / heat & cooling use, and i'm generally much happier and more relaxed.
i've also started the next segment of my life.
why the next segment?
well as of a week ago, i've been working at New Internationalist for 10 years, which means i'm entitled to long service leave.
being the amazingly adaptable organisation that they are, they let me take the 2.5 months leave over 6 months as 2 days a week off.
so i've just started the adventure of working 3 days and having 4 days to figure out what comes next.
i figure i've got 6 months to work it all out, but right now i've got a handful of choices:
* start my own business
* go into a partnership with a friend who's ready to launch a web based business
* volunteer work on local arts and environmental based projects
* relax and enjoy my hard earned time off!
at the moment i'm thinking of putting all my energy into the partnership with my friend's web based business.
i've watched it grow from a very nice technical piece of work, to something getting more and more user friendly, an now its at the point where its sexy and mature and i really want to be a part of it.
plus the beauty of it is that he believes in me as much as i believe in his project, so he's offered me a 50% share in the business. exciting stuff.
so there's every chance that the next 6 months will be the most challenging and inspiring time i've had in a while.
wish me luck!
