I'm too independent to give up part of myself and didn't think I could allow someone into my life. The thing is, it's so damn easy with the right guy. All these scary transitions don't really take much thought. I'm willing to settle in Geelong, to have smaller career goals and even give up the idea of having kids to keep what we have. I'm finding the whole thing fascinating. :-P I'm always reading about how thought processes and stuff work and I thought that relationships were illogical and stupid. But this is so damn logical and doesn't feel weird. And it's nice to write down about the year and see that yeah, a lot of bad stuff has happened but it's countered by all the good stuff. I view my work as a long term thing and like Jonathan Fields wrote, have been leaning into uncertainty rather then fighting it. Has made this year a lot easier. Have fun at Blogworld :-) I'm sad that I couldn't attend but I'm so intrigued to see what happens this year. Hopefully some cool connections will be made yeah, I was the same.

Going into the new year with a solid business plan is going to be a game changer for you. You have soooo much to offer people & make more insightful comments in one day than some people do in their lifetime! Best wishes for everything :) You know a relationship is a good one when you can do all of those things (and more) in front of your loved one & they continue to love you no matter what :)

Well, hey, I knew about some of it, but it's lovely to see it all written down. I think you've been incredibly brave with all the work stuff going on, and can only imagine how tough it must have been. With relationships ... for a long time, I thought I might never have a long-term partner because I couldn't imagine trusting/loving someone enough to share my whole life with them. And then I met the right guy ;-) So hurrah for Glenn and you! Really glad it's working out. :-) xx Jade, so glad to hear all the great stuff that’s going on for you!

Dealing with both is great. And dealing with Centrelink is far from a picnic too! My year has had its challenges. Life can change for me in about a week - due to the mental illness a loved one battles with rather than my own stuff. Quite stuck business wise - focusing on the big question at the moment: What problem will people pay me to solve for them? But I do have some faithful readers of my blog which is nice. Many thanks for letting us know the real story with you. It's great to hear that this year is ending better than the last couple. Doing a business or dealing with a mental illness is a big challenge.

The idea initially freaked me out, as it seemed to confusing and complex for me to deal with. We've been dating for nearly a year and it's like, It makes me feel normal. The exact some words you used. It has been one of the most profound changes of the past year. I think we've all been going through some changes with business. Things are evolving - there is a definite shift from infoproducts to micropublishing. The kindle, paid newsletters etc. Taking so much time off from the MMO scene has allowed me to see so many interesting trends :) :-P Why didn’t people tell me that about relationships?

A lot of ups and downs, and re-thinking how I do business online. I'm with you on the relationship front. Ever since I got into a serious relationship almost four years ago, I've felt more stable, grounded, and loved. It does make a big difference when you find someone that you click with. Enjoyed the read, Jade! :) This has been a huge year for me in terms of personal change. A lot of ups and downs, and re-thinking how I do business online.
