I believe that the skills and experience you used to climb to amazing heights, personally and professionally, will help you succeed with any new goals you set your heart and mind to. <br /><br />It bothers me that I am not able to answer your question. I think I'm in a holding pattern right now, possibly a holding back pattern. I know I will be coming back to this post to make myself examine your question more closely.The Goodwill Fangirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05845712888337339929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-33354623289122507762012-10-03T09:12:00.603-04:002012-10-03T09:12:00.603-04:00Thanks for sharing, buddy.

Or did but totally in vain. I mostly dreamed when it started to turn real. Even my carrier started from unexpected switch. Although taking about my job I can speak to struggle. As an engineer and a woman I always face lack of trust in my abilities or harassment like 'woman's place should be at home'. When I was younger I pushed a lot into sports and even wanted to train kids for living. It all went away with sever trauma but it gave me a huge believe in myself. Being one of the only women in this 'sport' (I'm not sure how to say it in English in fact, it's the military non-weapon self-defence but also worked under knives and such) facing men all the time to get a degree and not having any (I mean it any) discounts for my gender. Lifting x kilos men, lifting x kilos me, run 10 km men and so did I. I bet you get me about that in some point.<br />Take care, Ally.

I really enjoy your writing style in this autobiographical format but I can imagine you'd do great storytelling.<br /><br />As for your question of the day (or should I say yesterday), I feel like I'm dealing with several different things simultaneously, many revolving around self-acceptance, personal growth, and career goals relating to my crafts.

If I've got my health (check) and someone who loves me(check), food (check) and shelter (check) that pretty much covers it. I do tend to have a sweet tooth though and that could ultimately lead to health issues...sigh. <br />Great post as usually Ally with much to ponder.Style Agent 909https://www.blogger.com/profile/01900026888364291557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-12331121331084342212012-10-01T16:24:21.401-04:002012-10-01T16:24:21.401-04:00Just discovered your blog and really enjoyed readi...Just discovered your blog and really enjoyed reading this post. <br />It really got me thinking. <br />Like you, my future career was a big deal for me. I wanted to become a helicopter pilot in the french army police (while I was studying law at uni I actually did think about becoming a lawyer, but stuck to my original idea in the end). I nearly succeeded. After months of hard training (for a short girl army training is hard) I broke my knee. Not just sprained, but badly broken, so i got 'kicked out' of the army. I was devastated. At about the same time my mother also passed away. She was rather young, and there was still so many things that she wanted to discover and do. So now I just think live every day to the fullest. If you want to do something and are able to, just do it. Life is short.<br />By the way you are a great writer!<br />x<br />Bel<br />http://b-by-bel.blogspot.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12352774262651558254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-35358004046879840972012-10-01T16:19:08.734-04:002012-10-01T16:19:08.734-04:00My most prominent challenge right now is balance -...My most prominent challenge right now is balance - i always seem to be spinning one too many (full) plates. <br /><br />I'm so glad you're at a point in your life where you can focus on your own dreams, Ally, and the things most important to you, including the central matter of gender identity.

I used to think that I definitely wanted children, but lately I haven't been too sure. We're going one day at a time and it works and we're in a good place, so that is what matters most, but it's in the back of my head. Fortunately I have a very supportive husband and we're happy and I think we'll be happy no matter what.<br /><br />I think you'd make a terrific writer Ally. I would love to write too.
