I rather Soul Search and buy on Clearance than be Unhappy and have the most Expensive Gadget.

Daily Lesson 

Some times you just need a little shove to re-create your stars.
Change is what moves you closer to your calling

After a 6 month contract working for Ritz Carlton, my contract is up an not being renewed. Some may panic and throw themselves into full blown job search mode. I did, oh for 1 split second!

I on the over hand, am praying for clarity and a shove in the right direction, the direction my "life purpose" falls in, that is. There is something great out there for me, I just know it. Something that not only rewards you spiritually but mentally and of coarse financially too.

I am thinking about the stages of re-invention. It is never too late, my Mom taught me that, to just change your professional identity as a whole. From sales to nursing or maybe horticultural to dive instructor, I think it is time to go from Marketing to Teaching or maybe full time Photographer. 

Not putting any expectations or limitations on myself (because I learned from the first daily lesson posted)

because that only stifles creativity and limits my openness to receive suggestions.

As I wait patiently and silently (maybe not silently) waiting for my new path to reveal itself, I am over joyed with the extra time I will be able to spend with Shiloh during the day. This time of year is the perfect time of year to be open to spending more time with loved ones. Sure it is also the Holiday Season where we robotically over spend and indulge in everything with a sparkly Santa on it but, I rather soul search and buy on clearance than be unhappy and have the most expensive gadget.

Too often we are rushed into job after job our whole lives and given no real time to reflect on what we want for ourselves. I clearly understand that bills do not wait for our "new paths" to fall in our laps or for the time it takes to land a new job title or change fields. But, I also know that life isn't asking me for permission to happen. We have a short time to make a big difference and I am going to make a difference dammit. Now how?

I am going to take this transition and cross off a few off my Bucket List as well. As you see below, I have plans in place for the time I will have to recreate my professional path. This list may not pay me in cash but it will in other ways. Call it cliche - I don't give a dang!

Bucket List Bound,
Tasha ♥
