This is my personal blog as a virtual assistant.

My path to find a new passion begins when my mom died just a few days before new year of 2023. Suddenly I lost my way because I used to spend my days taking care of my mum with heart problem condition. Than I don’t know how to be productive since I resigned from my job in 2018 at state own company after 17 years working.

And in the beginning of 2023 I get interested to learn many things. First motivation is to heal my sadness and next it becomes an addiction for me to acquire new skill.

In April 2023 I made my first kombucha and procreate it into 9 jars until now.

Mei 2023, I learned to bake, making Japanese Bread Sandwich and Loaf. And while doing kombucha and bakery gardening has become a new skill. We have a small area around terrace where a lot different plants grow up and mum used to take care of them. And now its my turn to take care of them and suddenly I am a gardener.

My other hobby is sewing. I used to love sewing since I was in university. Mum bought a classic sewing machine, Singer, and I still keep it until now although I have a new one, Singer Heavy Duty Sewing Machine and Singer Heavy Duty Overlock Machine.

And at the end of 2024 I decided to learn to be a virtual assistant especially in email and calendar management and email marketing. I begin to brand my self as virtual assistant by updating my profile through social media, Instagram and Linkedln. I also try to make my own website for different purposes.

I guess I am addicted to learn new things, everything that makes me thrilled to do for the first time.

How about you guys ? Do you feel the same way as I do ? Maybe it only happened for someone in their forties ? You better tell me your own story
