Standing in the place of Faith

The Limbo continues. I finally heard from CalArts just over a week ago, apologizing for not being in touch, and saying they are still finishing up the interview process. He said that with luck, I will hear from them by the end of this next week.

I'm not sure now if the Limbo will continue, or if I'll be in Transition - i.e., moving to Los Angeles. I have decided that I really do want this job, and this opportunity to move forward.

I went to the latest production in the Theater Department at UMass-Amherst, my alma mater. It was great fun, and one of their better mainstage shows that I have seen. One of the ushers asked if I was attending because I knew someone in the cast - "No". "Oh. Do you work for the University?" "Yes, but I am attending because I am an alumna of the Department." "Oh. Okay." After this little exchange, I realized how small my life is here - I mean, I know it has been challenging to date as there really isn't a huge single population here, but that made me realize that it is time for me to "fly the nest." I did what I came here to do - get back on my feet, find a career, and finish my BA. It is time to move into the next phase.

So I put it out there to the Universe - I have decided what I want - if it be for my highest good, I would really like this job at CalArts - because although it isn't my dream job, I think I will find my dream job from there through all the networking I will be able to do. I know the weather will be much healthier for my emotional state, I will learn a lot, and there is a HUGE single population out there, with tons of meetup groups doing things I am interested in doing.

They say that if you focus on the what, the Universe will take care of the how - so I state the what: I want this job at CalArts and to move to Valencia, California - and I trust that the how will be revealed, and I'll be there by New Year's...
