After a decade of work, I have decided to take a career break. I need a respite, a breather, time to explore shelved ideas ... the concept started out as "something" I was pulled to, a blurry idea off in the future to happen "someday.” The gravity increased over the last few years, evolving into a desire for volunteering, travel in Asia and yoga. The vision was a contradiction to my daily routine – 12 hour work days filled with 50 or more conversations, thousands of miles a year (spent marching along with my fellow soldiers armed with our headsets, pda’s, carry-on luggage and jetlag), intertwined with “alt-tab” every 120 seconds or an unbreakable blackberry addiction anytime I decided to leave the laptop. I am not the first to declare I need a break.
And so I negotiated my departure, sublet my house, put together a rough itinerary and will use this writing as a compass to guide my exploration…
