I’m finding myself in a position where I thought was secure and stable, and I’m not. So, I’m changing that – which means new beginnings. Rather than seeing my having to reopen my virtual assistance practice and dial Write Well U back a bit as negative, I’m seeing these as pathways to a future in which I’m wholly responsible for my own safety and stability.

Sorry – maybe a little heavier than what you were going for. It (this particular new beginning) just happens to be in the exact here and now. :)
