Well, I haven't been around much lately. Life has had its usual array of ups-and-downs - some minor, some major.

All the same, the journey forward has been positive. So that I don't understate it - this has been a second chance at life.

While I haven't been supported by family - I have been supported by the community. By work. By total strangers.

I need to express my deep gratitute. I have a lot of flaws, a lot of things are a work in progress. But nonetheless, my mind has been flung open. I can accept and offer compassion to anyone - even those who unintentionally or intentionally do me wrong.

For the first time in my life I feel the urge to give something back.

I have a bit of spare time on my hands, since partially dodging redundancy a year ago. Work remains unstable. Anything could happen in the cut-throat corporate world. But this isn't about me.

I want to get involved and be an in-person supporter. Someone available to talk to, or just listen. On this beautiful Autumn day, I'm going to re-introduce myself to Uni.
