Today is my last day, after 4 years of grand adventure, at Weebly.
Oh my gosh, I know. What happened? What's going on? Where are you going? What's next? How come? Lots of people have been asking me some combination/variation of those questions, and I'm sure my long time readers may be wondering the same things. Is it OK to simply say "Eh. There's not much to talk about? But all is really well, and the best hasn't happened yet?" Because that's what feels most true and manageable to me. Plus, in my last few days with Weebly, I managed to happily sneak in a few Joyologist tricks...
It's like I got to be a mini Tricia-claus for a week, and I loved every second of it. To be flooded with chats, emails, texts, calls, desk visits within only a few minutes of the official office announcement, and continuing throughout the weekend, was so humbling. To have a huge group show up to my final office yoga class, and send me off with such positive energy, is not something I expected, but recognize as a true kindness I won't soon forget. And of course, to be surprised last night with a party at the Weebly go-to bar, and hugged over and over and over again....I mean I feel like butt today, but gosh it was so worth it. I had no idea people perceived my presence in the kind, generous, heartfelt ways expressed, and if there is a silver lining in all of this, it's how folks have truly stepped up to make my spirit feel huge. There is so much love, I could simply burst! So thank you, my friends. I am deeply honored. And really, I will miss you so much. You have been like family (said in my best Jersey Italian voice). But what happens now, you ask? We move forward. We move forward because there is freedom in choosing the peaceful path, with a heart full of gratitude. We move forward because for 4 years I have kept this blog, encouraging folks to fight for their best lives possible, and it's time to apply that more directly to my own (hint hint: in addition to freelance writing, if you know anyone wanting a life coach, my small little practice is accepting clients!) We move forward because I am so fortunate to be able bodied, able minded, passionate and curious; knowing that I will never be homeless, hungry, or alone is a blessing I cannot even begin to give full, deserving thanks for. And we move forward because really, that is the only direction God gave us. SO. The only thing left to say is: Thank you, thank you, thank you. And farewell, truly. love and light, Trish

Somehow I've never managed to tell you that - in addition to everthing else about you that is wonderful - you're also an amazingly gifted writer. You have the rare ability to express yourself in an honest, genuine way. :)

Trish! I've so enjoyed your continued presence in my life (via your amazing, inspiring, affirming blogs) since our paths first crossed a few years ago on a frigid makeshift runway in Alameda, shivering next to prop police cars and burned out fuselage parts, dressed not as pretty princesses of tv but badass "Trauma"tized holiday travelers. As you continue on your own journey, opening to new adventures and paths before you, know that even when you touch a life for just a day or two or three, the effects truly can be much much more. You have been that to me and I send you love and oodles of good thoughts. Namaste soul-sister. TRISH
