I can trace the moment my motivation came back, and my brain switched on again:

10.23am Wednesday November 28

Finally, someone says YES! And it's a high-profile, significant someone, but I can't go into details just yet....

All I needed was something to move towards, a definite framework. Now I have that, everything else is suddenly in focus.
Sometimes all you need is that one dot that connects all the other points, so that the pattern clearly emerges. So simple.

After one of the darkest, most difficult and trying periods of my life, I am so happy to be given this chance to actually bring it all together.
This testing of faith and commitment has reminded me to appreciate the opportunities and support I have, and make the most of them.

The sensation is like trying to cross a wide river alone in pitch dark, teetering from one stone to the next with no idea how far apart they are, or when you will fall into the icy water and be swept away by the raging currents; then suddenly finding yourself strolling across a wide, evenly paved bridge in bright sunlight with friendly companions.

From here, it's all a matter of methodically building systems and following through. One piece at a time, the puzzle falls into place.

I'm curious to see what rises from the ashes in a new form, and takes flight into the future. Now I know that I deserve every atom of success that comes my way, I've worked hard for this. It's no easy ride, the whole 'inventing-your-life-out-of-thin-air' thing, believe me!
