You've made some life changing decisions but you acted from your center and a place of knowing yourself. That's HUGE. I admire you for that. <BR/><BR/>It sounds like you are taking the changes in stride and while they are big and jarring you are handling it all with grace. <BR/><BR/>So glad to "see" you here, and to know you are well :)Kayleighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15347199277007746114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8617292970818308877.post-48010492144296077102009-04-02T19:37:00.000-07:002009-04-02T19:37:00.000-07:00Hi Erica!

You seem like such a brillant and independent woman, it will be exciting to see where life takes you next. A law degree will benefit you no matter what you do, and you are so smart to follow your heart. I'm sorry to hear about your break up, but it sounds like it's definitely for the best and a new beau will sweep you off your feet when you least expect it!

My husband worked for a law firm for one year before going corporate which lead to an incredible opportunity that we are pursuing now and he's not even practicing law, but tell you what, knowing the law and the legalities behind contracts, etc is invaluable in nearly everything you pursue. You're a very wise woman! keep blogging!Shantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03280811342095793731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8617292970818308877.post-35003740312746831042009-04-01T20:03:00.000-07:002009-04-01T20:03:00.000-07:00Wow..so many changes!

Welcome back...I was so excited to see your comment! Welcome back, hon, you were very much missed in our little "community". <BR/><BR/>I'm thrilled that you've gotten a new place and that it's even better than before! <BR/><BR/>And I'm actually glad that you're taking some time to sort out things in your life. Getting stuck in a rut or cruising along doing what you think you're "supposed" to do never really works. <BR/><BR/>Law school will be a huge advantage to you in whatever you choose to do, whether that's actually law or something else that you find more suited to you. I work with a lot of lawyers and you're much more...shall I say? socially adept (haha) than many that I've met. I can tell by your writing and your style. <BR/><BR/>I'm sorry to hear you and your beau broke up, and it's no consolation, but it really is better to do it now than to find yourself headed for the altar and then realizing it. You're a gem and I know you won't be solo for long. Of course, being a bit of a loner myself (I often kick my husband out of the house so I can have "Sheila time"), I do know that it can be a very good thing to be on your own. <BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to reading your blog - I'll still pop in when I can. I thought of you when I read "Let the Right One In" (waiting for the movie to come out on DVD). Great book. <BR/><BR/>Take care of yourself, and hope to "see" you soon, Erica. <BR/><BR/>Hug,<BR/>SheilaSheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735339885677950350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8617292970818308877.post-89012633654462955242009-04-01T17:51:00.000-07:002009-04-01T17:51:00.000-07:00oh my gosh! a lot has changed!

I 'm sure things will work out for the best. **Big Hug** welcome back :-)*Diane*https://www.blogger.com/profile/04433687789745336132noreply@blogger.com
