I stepped out of the coloring book outline of the previous life I led.

Me: standing at my desk with my headset on smiling ready for Zoom.

Cut to the drawn outline of me on the phone calming down a manager and helping her use the app successfully.

Me: at 6AM handling a call.

Many Me’s: after hours handling software incidents before jumping on a flight.

Finally, Me: on the couch on the phone with HR saying it’s a wrap and wondering just what would become of me.

Who’s here for me no matter what? What can I rely on?

God for sure.

And also, my beloved soapmaking.

I started this back in 2014. Ten years later soapmaking is still my superpower.
