So it has been a year since I was laid off. I went back to review the entry when I wrote about it. I re-read the list and was glad again that I wrote it. It still makes me smile and also get teary. I remember being so lost for the first few months. My identity was so wrapped up in what I did. I didn't know who I was going to be without it. In this amazing year I have gone through IVF, pregnancy, birth and now the tip of motherhood.

There is something to be said for being forced to be alone with yourself. I am not all the things I want to be yet. But I am alot of things I love. Glad to know that the little girl, reserved high schooler, crazy college kid and eager young women are still whirling about inside me. Hi gals I missed you.
