At Midpoint

Edible roses from the Husband on February 14, 2014

I feel I am at my midpoint in life, and I didn't think it would be a very challenging phase. 

I lost a very good friend and a very close aunt to cancer. Those losses were totally unexpected. Until now it has left me reeling with unexplained emotions. Husband also lost two of his close relatives to complications of diabetes. 

My career did a complete u-turn. I left a job that was less stressful yet more rewarding financially in the hope of going into consultancy. I landed on a full-packed and toxic undertaking, the rewards of which I have yet to realize. 

And then as I was so busy trying to deal with these changes in my life, I lost my 9-year-old blog, MamaIsWorking. Last year, I bought my own domain through Blogger and it failed to renew despite me setting it on auto renewal. My Google Wallet was debited with the renewal amount but for some reason I couldn't understand, the domain didn't renew. I had no time to figure out the whole caboodle because I had my hands full at the new work. The next thing I new, only about a week, my domain has a new owner. This broke my heart. But since there's a big event at the new work to worry about, I didn't have time to mourn for the loss of Mama Is Working. 

I guess it is time to turn a new page thus this new blog about me a mom at midlife.  

I still don't know how this will turn out, but definitely, I would lose all the juice that I earned from MamaIsWorking. Initially, I'd be syndicating sponsored posts here. And I'll still be writing mostly about being a mom, a parent, a wife. 

Do join me in this journey... :)
