I Didn’t See IT Coming!

Belated Happy New Year 2022!

My last post on this blog is dated January 27, 2020! Two years ago, but it feels like a life-time has passed, perhaps like having stepped into a different Universe…

Life BEFORE and not yet AFTER the Covid19 Pandemic. In January, 2020, at the time I wrote the post, “IT” was already here, invisible and deadly, but I, in my state of unawareness, lisited in that post cross roads in our lives which now look more like curbs, not cross roads!

Did the events of the last two years re-define you? Did your priories, ideals, plans for the future change? What affected you the most? Has anything positive emerged out of this complex 2-year period?

For me, it was transformative in more then one way, both positive and negative.

Shortly before I wrote the post on January 27, 2020 I had come back on the East Coast from a long stay with my family in California. At that time, I was planning a return in the near future, but two years have passed and I am thankful to technology for allowing me tomaintain a connection to those I love who are so far away in space!

On a positive note, I am now using my Romanian interpretation skills more than ever via medical video interpreting. I feel connected to the world and have a sense that my work makes a positive difference.

This morning, when I decided to write this post, I felt as if my m creative mind, which felt frozen, is coming to life again, and while my thoughts are not flowing with ease, as they used to, I feel the time has come to revisit and redefine our Crossed Roads!!! I hope we will do it together!

What is a Life’s Cross Road?

Life cross roads, just like people, are unique and surprising. What may be a cross road for one, is not for another. However, there are a few events in life, both positive and negative, considered  cross roads because they change our life as we knew it before that respective event.

The goal of this site is to provide support and ideas on how to better navigate such events.

A few examples of cross roads:  

Positive events:

Accepted in the school/college of your choice

Awarded a prize or grant.

Graduating  from school/college/professional school

Getting married

Birth of babies

Winning an important sports competition

Negative events:

Loss of someone we love (parents, child, spouse

Abuse

Divorce or separation

Loss of job or financial support

Major illness/disability

The list goes on, and it is personal, so I invite you to add your own life cross roads and let’s navigate together so that your journey of tomorrow will be happier and more rewarding.
