Not as shiny as gold

But it's our Tin anniversary today. Happy anniversary, darling.

We've got ourselves a big present this year, a new house. We've worked very hard for it, financially, physically and mentally. Our July so far is mostly boxing up the old stuff in the evenings, driving to the new place and unloading them. And oh boy, how did we manage to pile up so many things in this small house?

Packing and (hopefully) soon unpacking in the next month aside, we really love our new house. We saw it first on paper with a 2D drawing and followed it from the stage when the new foundation was just laid, week by week, to its final completion. My favorite feature is the oak staircase with a big long window running from the top to ground floor on the side. Sometimes I just stand at the bottom of the staircase, looking up and out of the windows into blue sky, in awe, feeling content.

Professionally this year has shown to be fruitful for me. I just came back from another collaboration meeting, doing a one woman show. It still amazes me to know that people seek my advice and do what I suggest, after being in this business for more a decade. I am a fortunate one, I know.

Perseverance, especially perseverance in believing yourself, is not a sexy word but a good one to remember, as it will see you through many ups and downs. If you are also in the transition period of your life, best wishes to you.
