Moon and the Mat

It’s the end of October! I am working through Research 1 and realize I have 7 more classes to complete before I start my dissertation. I have completed 5 courses with one in progress. It is interesting and I’m not in love with my topic area. I wonder what I want expertise in and how I will leave JFF. The organization is outgrowing me and I wonder if I still fit. I was offered an Associate Director of compliance only for the CEO to get fired. The person that approached me leaves in a cloud. I must thank God for sheltering me but I was really hoping to change departments. Fast forward to yesterday and I went to take Vinyasa and did leg exercises and light run. Today I killed it in the treadmill and did some arm exercises. I have 5 months before my 40th birthday and I did not drive 128, ride a bike, ski or save 40k. I did start a garden, hiked Ajax, Maroon Bells and Monadnock. I also started a doctoral program. My next five months will be all health and gratitude. Going to give yoga a try!

For the month of November, I will write at least 4 times per week about my doctoral work. So it will be a series part of the morning train series (MTS) but solely focused on the doctorate.
