The time has come for me to start thinking about what’s next in life for me.

I’ve done what I wanted to do with my life up to now, but a time of change is upon me. Actually, it has been for the last two years. Today I went to the local college to see what courses they have on offer for September. What I thought I would end up signing up for, I’ve now decided against. Instead, I’ve made an appointment to see an adult careers advisor next week.

The children are always going to be my priority, so anything I do must fit around their lives. I see it as leaving me with two options.

1. Work in an educational setting where the hours fit in with theirs.
2. Do some more self-employed work where I can choose my own hours.

The photography is working well for that reason, but I need to be earning more. I’ve searched deep into my heart all afternoon about what I should be doing, and despite trying to convince myself anything is ok, I know I have to do something that fulfils me and that I totally love. The thing that comes to mind over and over is empowering people. I feel very pulled towards being a life coach or a counsellor. Something where I help people believe in themselves.
