Where to start.

Bottle of pinot noir, check....
Motivation, che.... hrm.

     I haven't posted since last May and because of certain circumstances I feel as though posting about it is only appropriate.
     I graduate hair academy and landed my dream job assisting one of the most talented woman i've ever met. I then took on another job helping out my sister with her design label Aila Blue to fill some open time, and got another job offer to work at the oh so famous Dry Bar.  Life was set! Working 7 days a week felt amazing but I knew sooner or later I would get burnt out, and I was.
 

 Little by little waking up from only 4-5 hours of sleep was getting a little annoying. And then the worst of all things possible happened, my puppy that I had for 2 years was hit by a car.
                                      

I don't think I have ever felt that much pain in my life but, bills don't pay themselves, so I went back to work and something just felt different. Maybe I needed a change of pace? A change of scene? A change of faces? And the perfect opportunity rose, my grandmother from Japan who is living in America wanted to go home to Japan and asked me to take and help her for a few months. I agreed and put in my letter of resignations.

     So on October 18th I arrived in Chiba, Japan. How hard can it be taking care of a 85 year old who is partially blind and deaf? Easy!... or so I thought... making sure your grandmother is happy is a struggle when you are with them 24/7 and takes a great deal of patience. It's almost comparable to taking care of a baby...ALMOST. But, none the less I have a great opportunity to step back from my life and look at it as a birds eye view to see what I can do next, where I can go next, and how I can find that happiness again.
   So, here it is ladies and gentleman. Vulnerability at its finest. We have our moments in life where we try to picture our lives in 10 years and think 'no, I don't want that'. Or wonder... is this it? Is this what I am put on this beautiful Universe for? Huh. If you are content with where you are in your life and truly happy with the way everything is going then Congratulations, I applaud you for not having to go through a quarter life crisis. And if not, well you're not alone.
    So, I will do my best to record my progress as I conquer this small chapter in my life.
