A Year of Writing to Uncover the Authentic Self

Hi there! I'm Camille. I am many things and I find describing myself to be rather painful.

I have spent the last 7 years as a single mother. I have two daughters. Right now they are 10.5 (don't forget the .5!) and 15. After my 17 year marriage ended I took a year to pull myself together with much support - but I did not talk to men at all. When the year ended I felt ready and I've dated plenty since then. I've had some year long relationships, some shorter, some I learned from and some broke my heart all over again.

I need a break from it but I will not likely totally give up because... I need it in my life in some form. I just don't know which form.

Which is what lead me here: https://www.dailyom.com/cgi-bin/courses/courseoverview.cgi?cid=1022

I downloaded this writing class in December and then promptly ignored it. My new plan is to stop that. So here I am.

I've booked time on my work Calendar for it otherwise it'll never happen. I'm stupidly busy. Aside from being a mom (with full custody), I am also a Data Scientist and a manager of a team of Data Scientists all for a company that is known for working people harder than normal. I LIKE to work hard so that suits me but not for many people. Although at this very moment work is a bit much. I'm tired and approaching burn out which is another reason I need to do some internal work.
