The journey so far..
I am sitting here by the window watching the rain do a Guns & Roses number on the street below. It is that weird kind of wait-a-moment-lets-sum-up-my-life kind of weather and to be honest, not the kind of inspiration you look for when you are writing your first personal blog. But I’ve been wanting to start this personal blog for a long time now, and I guess this is a good time as any. It’s been a hell of a ride, these last 12 months. When I switched careers midlife, it wasn’t just a sudden, spur-of-the-moment thing. This dream, it has been there a long time, lurking below the surface, an itch I just couldn’t scratch, and when I finally did work up the courage to let my life-as-I-had-known-it-until then go, I didn’t imagine it would come easy. I knew I would have to fight, claw my way through every inch, but that..I was prepared for that. Ask anyone who has completed medical school and worked in a hospital. Long bleak hard hours…that don’t scare me..oh No..Not at all
What I hadn’t figured out was starting Powersutra in the bleakest of times, with the whole world shut down and worse, fighting for its life, it's every breath. Wasn’t such a wise decision to launch western wear, with offices shut down. In hindsight, I probably should have done things differently. Maybe paid more attention to the hidden, largely unseen but absolutely, existentially, important, marketing part, maybe a bit more attention on PR, maybe this maybe that..but that’s all niggles, minor bumps on my open highway. Would I do that career switch again? Absolutely Yes! This thing is picking up, just like the onset of monsoon. A couple of drops first, then a couple more, and before you know it its Guns and roses on the street. So there.. that’s another thing off my bucket list.
I can’t thank you lovelies enough. You’ve been with us through the worst of times, and that my sisters is worth a lot. Power to the sisters then…The sun's coming out. I’ve gotta meet I need to be..and guess what this is what I’ll be wearing. ??
Love you all.
