I’ve spent the last few days quietly celebrating my rebirth and happy dancing all over the place.
Not re-birth-birthday-related, I mean, more like life-related. It’s my one year anniversary from leaving my job to do this whole thing full-time, to explore what it is I want to be doing next, to soak up the summer rays, and stay in bed late on snowy mornings.
True to form, I even made a cake inspired by this one I adored by The Cilantropist.
And then I proceeded to sloppily eat half of it myself in a full-fists-into-devil’s-food-mess. No big deal.
It (my new life, not the cake) has been sustainable. And I’m the happiest I’ve ever been.
I’m off to walk the dog on the beach and work on a cool new Anthropologie-inspired DIY project that you’ll be seeing soon enough before I get down to answering my emails and making the morning coffee (we switched to decaf, BTW, being jitter-free and level-headed is just more icing on the live-a-good-life cake).
So, with that said, go follow your wildest dreams today. I’m not trying to be all hokey and inspirational, just do what it takes to be a happier person.

That looks so delicious!!! And great message:-)
Your cake looks delicious! Just found your blog last week and I’ve been perusing your archives… your house is lovely. Thanks for sharing!
P.S. I want your dog. =D (I added the smiley face because ‘P.S. I want your dog.’ looked really creepy on its own…)
Thanks Stephanie! Glad you’re enjoying Merrypad :) Cody and I get that comment a lot, nothing creepy about it. Berners are a great breed, as much as they can be a total weirdos at times.
Congrats on your happiness celebration! I’m 6 months into my leave my job “to explore what it is I want to be doing next, to soak up the summer rays, and stay in bed late on snowy mornings.” I have to say it’s been pretty great. :)
Congrats on your 6-month achievement!! Such a wonderful feeling, isn’t it? I hope it all works out great for you!
