TIME FOR CHANGE

TIME FOR CHANGE.

THE WORD ARRIVED TODAY.

I can begin to wind down my life here in Los Angeles.

Last year before I got the job at the Westin Bonaventure I was ready to trade in mylife in LA for life back on the road.

Once I got the JOB. That is what it is and has been.

 I would see how things would work out.  Of course as soon as I got the job, I also got an opportunity to go and work in Alaska for the season which I pursued and was offered the job. Unfortunately they would not let me sublease my place so I passed on the job.

I knew it was something I was interested in doing so I kept the lines of communication open and stayed in contact and this year they have offered me the job.

So here I haved received what I have asked for which is GREAT.
So why am  I now beginning to have doubts. WHY? I am not really having doubts. I know this is a great opportunity for me.

FEAR. FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL.

This will allow me to take a 4200 mile roadtrip through the Pacific Northwest and Alaska which is a part of the country I have not yet visited but have always wanted to.

ALASKA has always been a BUCKETLIST TRIP I have wanted to take.

It allows me to take a few weeks off and than have a job for 4.5 months.

What does all of this mean?   I get to finally leave LA and the hotel which has been a steady gig, my first since leaving LA IN 09 The one bad thing leaving the job is that I honestly really sincerely like and enjoy everyone that I work with.

So it removes the safety net which has given me reason after reason to not focus my energies on my passion and dreams. I have allowed my self to SELLOUT for the SECURITY of a PAYCHECK.

Actually I need to cut myself some slack. I did what I neeeded to do.  THAT IS OK.

That is NOT WHO I AM.

Getting out on the road I am TRUSTING will get me back in touch with my SOUL.

I am going IN SEARCH OF FOOD FOR THE SOUL.

I am trying to do a plus and minus for taking the job and leaving LA.  I need to keep telling myself CHANGE IS GOOD. CHANGE IS WHAT FEEDS MY SOUL. I NEED TO TRUST.

I KNOW I AM A SURVIVOR.

I am 8 weeks from turning 50. THE BIG 50.
I am full of GRATITUDE FOR THIS GIFT. So many were not given the opportunity.

It is time for an ADVENTURE. This is a good thing.
LIFE IS ABOUT MOVEMENT. I NEED TO GO WITH THE FLOW.

IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO ANSWER THE CALL.

TIME TO GO OUT ON A LIMB. TRUSTING MY DECISION.
