The next stepping stone

So, here I am on the edge of this stepping stone; perched to take the next step. The path is not limited. There are many stones ahead from which to choose. But, regardless, here I stand, precariously balanced on the edge of my stone. I have just finished my BS and I am excited to be done. However, I am indifferent about the value of the degree. I recognize the applicability of this knowledge in some areas of interest, yet, I don't feel any smarter; no wiser, just deeper in debt. I have some serious choices to make now. I must choose the next stone and take the next step. I've started re-wroking my resume. I'm tired of working 'for the man' and want to work for humanity. I've wandered through the garden of my life, moving from stone to stone, never really caring what or who was affected by my steps. Now, I am realizing each choice has great impact. I have made some choices; publishing a chapbook of my poetry is one that I can easily accomplish by the end of this year. I'd also like to really invest some time in my Everglades preservation interests. And, I'd like to get more involved in yoga and belly dancing. I have so much time now. And, so many choices. But, for the moment, I stand on the edge of this stone and I'm enjoying the view.

Dearest Anna,
Thank you for sharing this with all of us.
It is a gift to be able to see so clearly into another's process, and as I stand at the edge of my own stepping stone, it is nice to know that there are others in similar situations.
Keep on shining your Light!
Blessings,
Carly
