the end of an era

These past few days have been intense. But i've made it through the tumultuous parts and it should be nothing but smooth sailing from here on out.

I interviewed for this new job, and it went great, but then i had to wait for a few days. I interviewed on the 18th, last Thurs. They told me they were interested that next day, friday, and said they were doing my background check and formalizing the offer, & that they'd be in touch. Then i didn't hear anything for the rest of Friday or Monday morning. I followed up on Mon and she told me no action was needed on my part and that the Director would be in touch later that day. Buuuuut, i didnt hear anything on Monday But i got the call/official offer Tues morning. So, Tues night i wrote my letter of resignation and submitted it this morning (wed), and BOOOOOOOY was i nervous! It all went really well though, surprisingly. So...im officially on my way out of Everest and onto my next, new chapter!

Must say, it is bittersweet though. I've been there for almost 5 years! There are a lot of people there i love very much. A lot of people i don't want to leave :( i'm sad about it, although im dually happy & excited for the new experiences/opportunities. Its just new, and scary....stepping out of the comfort zone is always super scary. But. this is my last step. My last big, monumental change.

And so, i'm well on my way. Steadily forward, pushing through all obstacles, persevering over all odds. I'm following my heart, and my gut....and i KNOW it wont steer me wrong. Here is to the end of an era...the close of a chapter. And on to a brand new clean slate full of fresh new opportunities and experiences.

the eve of the next chapter...

Tonight is an important night.

Followed by tomorrow which is an even MORE important day! I'm hoping to make a change tomorrow....to solidify success in a new direction. To branch out and do something new, refreshing, rewarding! I'm feeling good...and everything else is falling into place so i can only believe that i'm on the right track and that it'll all work out in my favor.

The security that having faith provides is priceless! I know that only so much is within my control....i know that i have to make the best of the cards which are dealt to me...play my best hand, if you will.

And although this is all scary...i'm following my gut and acting on the guidance i'm receiving from within {or, withOUT...from who knows where}

But i feel it, and im pulled towards it.

'IT' being, success. I'm hungry for it....i SEE it in my future...i'm just on a journey to successfully choreograph the steps to get me from here to there...from point A to point B. I'm not sure what they are....and i cant see exactly where they'll fall...but i CAN take comfort in the fact that my best interest is being served.

And, that's enough for me right now :)

fork in the road...

So many messages....so much change. All clamoring in together, over-top one another...layers of meaning, nuances of new beginnings. While overwhelming, its also dually invigorating.

In a matter of 2 short months, the pillars of support (which i thought were a necessary part of my sanity - and survival) fell away....and, whattya know.....im still here, standing strong and tall as ever. Which just goes to show that very little is needed {other than yourself, and your own private drive/journey} to truly make it in life. Life prepares you to think/feel as if you NEED others to be okay, as if the participation of others in your daily life somehow gives meaning, relevance, purpose to.....YOU, as an ethereal being.

It does not. On the contrary, when you are WHERE you're supposed to be in life, the inclusion of worthy people in your daily endeavors adds that much more meaning and relevance to your journey. I used to think that certain people were essential, when....in reality, they were mere crutches. Facilitators which lead me to believe they were helping, but were merely enabling and undermining my individuality and certainty.

Those people are now gone. And what is left is the sheer determination of one individual, hell-bent on making something of herself, and making a difference in this world.

I'm grateful for the lessons i learn daily...and for the people who remain by my side, unconditionally. And i'm grateful that the others have been removed :) I see clearer by the day...
