Breathing through change.  That has been my objective today.  Yesterday at the impromptu interview I was offered the job on the spot and I accepted.  It is a part time job that works great with my professional skill set and the licensing path that I have been wanting to complete. Of course, I look at my calendar and it is PACKED through Thanksgiving since I wasn’t expecting a job this soon- how in the world is this going to work?  I woke up way too early this morning fretting – have I done the right thing? Is it the right time?  I decided to breath.  Breath in – Breath out.  I call support friends who say the words I need to hear, “You can do this!”  The major stress right in this moment is all the paperwork that goes with starting a new job and the orientation materials.  Making room in a full schedule for learning.  My folks are on their way to my house for the first time in three years.  Breath in.  Breath out.  I called in reinforcements to help with the pre-company cleaning – huge relief.  Breathing better.  I think one of my biggest fears is that I will lose my creativity time.  I felt like I was just getting my groove.  Of course when I was processing this today the thought popped into my brain – blogging has warmed me up for case notes 🙂  I’ve definitely gotten in the habit of writing everyday so I can handle this 🙂  I want to honor the creative in me.  I know my “work” is important and I know my creativity and creative work is very important too.  I’m lucky to be part of such a creative family so part of my creative work can be combined with family time too and our arts nights 🙂  I have the full support of my family which is awesome.  I can do this.  Notice my mantra for the day 🙂

Breathing in Peace – breathing out love,

Christine
