There's not much to not love about the season of Autumn. The weather is gorgeous, the leaves are changing into lovely golden, orange tones. It's just the beginning of scarf and jacket season, what's not to love about that? When Fall comes, so does change. There's just something in the air.
During the Fall season, I tend to be in a very contemplative mood. Even though I'm out of school, I still seem to think in terms of semesters or school years. So when most are thinking of January as the beginning of a new year, I tend to think as September as the "new year". I begin to think through my life and see where things have changed over the past year and where things can change for the coming year. I've begun a new workout lifestyle and am loving it. I've decided to get fit. Not only that, I am striving for a healthier eating pattern as well. I am thoroughly enjoying this new step. It feel so good to really commit this time.
I feel more focused lately. Focused on ways to really shape my life, to allow God to mold my heart and will. I think I'm really tapping into the whole maturing process, as some would say. I'm at a place in my life where things could really escalate or completely change directions, really. I have an amazing job where I could potentially create a great career for myself. I have stepped into Hotel Sales & Catering. My bosses are incredible, the company rocks and I have become kind of attached to this place. I am not much for "job hopping"; I'm more of a loyal kind of worker, which can be a blessing and curse.
I have also moved further north into a great, thriving area. It's near work, near many lovely eateries, near tons of shopping, near a great church and best of all near my best friend. Actually she lives with me. ;)
Currently, I am involved in the start-up of 2 nonprofit organizations. One of which I have been involved with for 3 years and have loved every minute of it. The other, my team and I are working very diligently to expedite the launch within the next year and a half. This is where my heart really lies. This is where I come alive, where I know I'm ultimately supposed to be.
My dilemma is the war between remaining loyal to my business or loyal to myself. I enjoy where I am in my life, but I also know that I am called to more... much more. I desire the adventure of life and know that that is only found in working for my God.
All of that to say, I am at a crossroads in life. Just trying to figure out the right time to launch the next phase of my life. Not just the time, but the way and the perfect avenue of which to take. I know the answers will come. Not worried, just anxious to make the most of the phase I'm in now. I desire to gain everything I need to while in this season, to make the most of everyday and every situation. But watch out world, I can feel a change is comin'!!! :-)
