In the last couple days I liked I what I did. On Monday I spent some time to sort out my questions with visa. I have found a solution. Yesterday - Tuesday - I had a conversation with investor green card lawyer:1. It is easier than most people think2. Timeline: 3 months to prep docs; 1.5 years waiting for approval; 2 months to go get the visa; another 2 years to remove conditions. In 4 years you have to show that you employed 10 full time workers. 3. You can add up hours of many workers to say you have employed 10 people4. You can take out a loan under your investment abroad as collateral and invest5. 80% people get the first round - conditional greencard; 90% of those get full green card6. Funds - show your business is real - website, pictures, photos, tax reports; real estate agents, con…

Jobs I am interested in Microsoft. 1. I sent a message to Efesa Origbe - I feel he and I share a lot in common - giving back, gratitudeI am kind of sitting and don't know what to do. On one side - I feel like I need to talk to people like Amy Hansen. I need to act fast to catch Alicia. How do I do it?Should I talk to Dina about it. Should I wait till the next event. Why am I worried about talking to Alicia? I am just out of practice. I need to start practicing. Goal - one coffee chat or phone chat a day. People who will help me get my long connections at MS - Amy Hansen and Efesa. I need to stay in touch with them. I will enjoy my time with them. Short immediate touches - Carlos for hololense roles; Alicia for Hololense and learning roles. Here's the plan. 0) ask my coach to help me look…

I had a very intense weekend with my dad and my sister. Friday my dad, B and my sister went to North Bend again. I think it was nice. On Saturday my the gang and Z went to snowboarding, where I met my k-team colleagues. I felt good by the warm welcome. Snowboarding was nice too. At the beginning I felt like I don't want to risk my life anymore. Then I realized children snowboard, and I can nicely learn too. I can very strong at it, if I choose to. Our car got stuck. We then were trapped in the snow. I cleaned the snow and tires with kitchen pans. My sister liked it. We then went and had dinner at one nice place at White swan. The next day we went hiking - it was a magic hike - we went all the way till the end even though it was hard for me. - little si. It started snowing on the way back.…

Talking to Leanin ladies, I realized how much in confidence is here. How less or little ambition people or how they question their success. I felt lucky that I have inner conviction that I will achieve all my dreams.

It also made me understand how common is my situation. Working on a lot project, being overwhelmed. I got that I will be happy at this circle if I start giving! I need to start preparing and sharing my thoughts and wisdom with people.

I am very overwhelmed by the difficulties in this period of my life. I am very glad I didn't pulled the plunge with B. Here are the things I am working on now:

+ leanin - getting the leanin team finish the amazing data project. Then transition away from leadership team to project lead role. Have Dina or Jenny represent our team.

+ my startup project. leading the team, operating it, balancing the budget, specing things. I need to lead - quantum leap in order to release it. If I was doing just my this, I would've gotten it. hey

+ buying a house. I want to buy house in February. Get in contact with lenders, with realtors, make a decision, and buy the house! Exciting!

+ My coach and my decision to be around people who bring me joy and who nourish me. Curious, selfless, adventurous inspired people

What matters most:

Love

Significant achievment

What worked and what didn't:

Bryan is not my second half. He is good looking strong man, not very intellectual, more of a logistician, his mind is full of uncategorized things, and he is self centered, he think he is right all the time, he is a little judgemental about people and their choices, he likes to talk about sex and different sex variations - girls, gay etc. I like to talk about big achievements, extra ordinary results.He wants to give one not volatile stream of care, that he wants to give, his way and not change himself even a little bit. It's hard to convince him of something or teach him anything new. He likes to observe. His words are surviving, deep, complex, nuanced, higher level. he doesn't get to happy or too excited about experiences, he does get excited about himself and how he handled the situatio…

It turns out I was a part of cultural crash in relationships. B did not understand kishilik, and uyat. I on my part didn't understand spreadness, Seattle open minded lifestyle, because in my heart I am very conservative.

Thinking that it is B and me, in fact it was Kazakh culture and culture of a well- travelled American man. I would've lost my identity if I would've been with him. We both tried our hardest. I am sure we will be good friends.
