No doubt one of the first changes to be spotted on my blog is the name change. It is very indicative of the path I'm on now. As I said in my last post I am returning to my blog in my forties,on a different adventure in life. When I first started the blog I was getting my head around the whole multi tasking, working single mother dilemma. The reason for Maverick in the blog title is because that seems to be how my path has been.
Never mind the society ideal picture of becoming a doctor and marrying one within the same culture, my path has been beyond conventional and very unapologetically maverick. I have decided it is time to embrace this and work with it rather than against it. this is a message I would like to convey to anyone who is reading this blog. During this lock down I have like a lot of people turned to some philosophical quotes and self help books. Something that I read about recently is learning to let go of that perfect picture and to see situations for what they really are, this means taking off the rose tinted glasses.
This is something that was said by author Elizabeth B Brown and can be interpreted in many different ways. In the context of the name change of my blog I have learnt to accept and embrace the unusual path my life has taken and to run with it, looking at it as an adventure rather than mania.
I have always had the ethos of honesty and loyalty drummed into me and expected the same from other people. My recent dealings with people have proved my beliefs to the contrary. However I have decided to just run with the maverick adventures life throws at me and take off my rose tinted glasses in terms of looking for that perfect picture and changing my expectations. Life is certainly less manic when this approach is taken.
