Hi y’all! For those of you who were wondering — yes, something has been going on, lots of things have, actually. That’s why my blog was dormant for a while, quite a while, 4 months. I figured I’d just write a post today to get me started again, and then I’ll try to fill you in bit by bit over the next few posts.

Here is just a summary of things that happened within the past 4 months that kept me from blogging. This is the super short version:

1. I lost my job.
2. I’ve started online dating, met a few guys (each one after the other!), and have a new boyfriend.
3. I started to downsize and save money.
4. I moved.
5. I lost 11 pounds.
6. I found a new job.
7. I lost my old gym and pool, but found a new gym.
8. I have a new car (well, new for me).
9. I have a new dentist.
10. I’ve got a new look (somewhat accidentally, oh, well).

Now that I’m looking at what I just wrote, I’m thinking this is a pretty amazing list. The good thing is that I feel great about all those changes–now, looking back, not so much when I had just lost my job. But I always believe that there must be a reason why this is happening to me. And in the end it’s usually for the better.

By the way, paradise might not be cheap, but being happy doesn’t cost much either!
Love,
Maya
