I have decided once again to pick up pen and paper. So much crazy (and not so crazy) shit has been happening. I know it has been a while since I had the desire to pick up a pen a paper and start writing again.
Some things are happening in my life that made this decision a easy one. This is the one place where I can come and share my thoughts, feelings and emotions. If no one likes it...oh well turn the page! Now, let's get on with it.
Career Changes: As most of my readers know, I have struggled with the job issue. Back in 2011, I attended Pima Medical Institute to study Veterinary Assisting. Unfortunately, through a little soul searching and a few disappointments, I had to stop living in denial, and face the fact that this was not going to work out which is unfortunate, because I love animals! However, I studied for and passed the Enrolled Agent exam in 2013. I have been enrolled to practice before the IRS since December of 2013. My friends and colleagues told me...well it's about time! While I was studying for the exam I was working as a tax accountant. The company went out of business so back to square one. There is more to this story which I cannot publically disclose right now. Future blog post! I have now been gainfully employed at a local CPA firm since January of this year. Made it through the madness which is tax season in one piece...I think!
I know I wanted at some point to give up my career in accounting to pursue my creative endeavors. However I need to put this back into perspective. I know and believe that I am a talented and passionate writer. Just look at the poetry and essays I have written over the years. However, I need to make a living and support myself. I like my job, helping clients and my fellow co-workers...another future blog post there too.
To balance out my work life poetry and writing are going to be my hobby of choice.
I will continue this post with other things such as progress in recovery, relationship status etc. later.
Just wanted to let everybody know this kid is back in the saddle!
