It made a big difference. Great post! Also, congrats on the headway to living your dream!

A friend will list out all of your little victories, and the way you've been strong and inspirational -- the things that we ourselves tend to overlook or trivialize. "Oh, that wasn't a big deal," or "I should have done that months ago." (That's one I use on myself all the time.) I so admire the way you've handled all the transitions in your life over the past couple of years. It must feel empowering to know that you can build a life for yourself anywhere: small-town France, big-city San Francisco, and now Hawaii. Thank you -- beginning to figure out what kind of work I want to do has been a long time coming. The structure is still evolving, but I'm learning that when I let go and trust that the situation will all work out eventually, it usually does. Having patience is the tough part. :) Seriously.

It is pretty crazy that I will bend over backwards to support and reassure friends during their rough patches, but I will beat myself up for every little failure or emotional breakdown or lapse in judgment. It's a really good rule to live by, trying to treat yourself the way you would a friend. I'm making an effort to do that more. Yes, I haven't blogged in weeks and I still haven't worked on that freelance stuff I keep talking about, but I have moved into a new apartment mostly by myself and I've made friends in a brand new city and I have a job and... thanks for the reminder. I need it. I'm so happy the design/marketing stuff is going well for you guys! You've worked really hard to get to this point, and you definitely deserve it. This post definitely hits home with me.
