Traveling back 10 years ago almost to this day, I remember sitting on the floor of my grandmother’s condo emptying the pots out of her cabinets and crying my eyes out.

I wasn’t anywhere exotic, I was in West Palm Beach Florida. My grandmother had just died and I couldn’t believe I was packing up her entire life, deciding what to throw away, what to give away and what to put in the pile for various relatives.  I felt so old. I was so tired, I was working hard on a liveaboard dive boat in the Cayman’s with a captain that didn’t particularly like me too much.  All in all I’d say it was a pretty terrible 30th birthday.

Now with only days until my 40th birthday I’m packing up a house again. But I’m not sitting on the floor crying into pots and pans. Instead I’m excited about the possibilities. Earlier this year I’ve embarked on the journey of owning my own company, Blue Gypsy Inc. A company that could be operated from anywhere.  I’m shaking the kinks out with my phone system, and I’ve got my email set up for various clients. So now we’ll see how this test run works to Northern Virginia.

I look forward to maintaining my contacts here, while working on a whole new network up there. I’ve got some big plans afoot for Blue Gypsy Inc and hope that the coming year will see some exciting new starts.

While 30 was dreary, 40 will be fabulous!
