It's funny how one potential change in your life can send your soul into a tailspin wishing and dreaming and hoping for all the new possibilities in your life. (sometimes the potential changes can send your mind down the path of a nightmare but that's not what this entry is about)
My life has had me running on speed and adrenaline since March. I have been reconnecting with people, cultivating new relationships and working on old ones, volunteering my time, reaching for new goals and maintaining current ones.
In the middle of life, an interview was dropped in my lap. The prospect of changing my career path excites me. I have been working for five years for a great employer, the only unfortunate circumstance of that situation is there was no potential future for a girl sitting with two business degrees. So this interview got me wishing and hoping and dreaming of what it could mean for me to go into corporate America and utilize my degrees.
Imagine my enthusiasm when I was offered the job. I have to admit, it scares me to change my routine and leave behind the people I have seen every day for five years and care for. But the prospect of my future and being self sufficient wins out over those circumstances.
So today is my first day starting the new job. As I sit on the train riding into my orientation I can't help but feel nervous and thrilled all at the same time. I'm not allowing my mind to go into self-doubt because I know I got this and the change in my life will be refreshing.
This type A girl who likes routine is getting all shook up and still wishing and hoping and dreaming.
