Moving Forward Not Moving On

I remember

a time when I ran down the street so filled with frustration but I never stopped. I remember one foot in front of the other thanking my anger for fueling my workout — fast, furious, pushing my self to the limit routine.

I remember

thinking how boxed in I felt in the office in the grey cube. But I loved being that girl who saw so many powerful women in the 1980s go out in the workforce and be business woman. This was everything I always wanted and I was 100% into my career. I am so grateful for all the amazing women bosses and owners I worked for in marketing for 14 years. 

I remember 

how I felt just like Melanie Griffith in the movie Working Girl. The pavement bouncing away from my feet in confident long strides. Then when I finally had a child, looking into my first born's eyes. I did not want to leave her for a moment. I was a first-time mom and being the woman I always wanted to be — with children and with options to continue my career if I wished. 

I remember  

enjoying my children as little sweet beings: playing and exploring with them, having difficulties with them, being exhausted, all the Mom friends I met and this blog space which documented my artistic and yogic endeavors outside the kids. 

I remember

this iconic scene from Working Girl. It's a perfect place to transition this Blogger space which I held for over a decade. I honor it as record of my time in the late 2000s. 


Moving forward not moving on feels good. FIND MORE MUSINGS BY ME AT MY NEW SPACE HelenHillYoga and lots and lots and lots to share at NEW BLOG Yoga. Poems. Eats.
