Changing jobs?

Meaningful work supports us and sustains us, not only financially but emotionally and spiritually. Sometimes what once brought joy and inspiration now brings fatigue and boredom.  It takes a discerning heart to know when it is time to move on to other ventures.  Letting go can be difficult.  The familiar calls us to the comfort zone of our being.  The new is unknown and uncertain.  Can we trust ourselves to navigate the strange landscape, to learn a different way of living, and make wise decisions for no only ourselves but our families?  We hope that our wisdom that comes from experience kicks in and the way before us becomes clear.

One step and breath at a time. With our heart in our throats we begin to explore possibilities. We make tentative inquiries about new jobs.  We start checking out how our skills might translate into another field.  It takes nerve.  It takes trust.  It takes all that we have in us. 

May we each have the courage to know when and how to explore the next piece of our journey!
