Friends, yesterday morning, I came into what might be euphemistically described as "unplanned and unlimited vacation time". It's a bit of a bummer, but don't feel too bad for me. I am genuinely excited about the future and think this might become a grand opportunity.

Truth is, I have been unhappy for quite some time, which culminated in quite a bit of burnout this year. For the last 2 years, I've been looking for the right next thing and haven't quite found it. I have learned a lot about myself in this search, which I can use moving forward.

I have needed a lot of rest this summer which is why I haven't streamed or podcasted. Burnout is a bitch to deal with and can easily become a depressing, vicious cycle. That's partly why I'm excited about this time. I can use the rest and the restoration.

I have some thoughts and ideas about what I might try and do next. If I look at what I am gifted at and what brings me life, I can see at least two possible directions that I could head in: Training/Teaching/Workshops or Dev Rel.

I love teaching and I've got a knack for it. It brings me a lot of joy to help people learn new things, understand a tough concept, or level up on some skill. I think regardless of what I do, this should be at least a part of what I do next. I might even write a book or two.

I also think that I could make an excellent Dev Rel. I have a knack for community building, and frankly, I can talk to just about anyone about almost anything. I've got that gift of gab, ya know! I think a Dev Rel job would naturally flow from my desire to engage with people.

There could be some other good possibilities, but I don't have them in my mind yet. I'm going to take some time to try and get creative and think of some more. I have an opportunity to redesign my life right now, and I don't plan on squandering that.
