looking forward

There is so much power in having something to look forward to. It makes you want to get out of bed in the morning, and often gives you the strength to get through the day. And it is really true, it is all in how you look at things.

This past week has been very interesting. I have been putting our resumes again, looking for my next right step. I got an interview in a place I had never really considered living before - central Indiana, just North of Indianapolis. It sounds like an amazing opportunity, and my only reservation is that it is snow/ice in the winters, and humid in the summers (why does it seem like all the great jobs are in that kind of climate??).

One of the interesting things that has happened is it seems like as soon as I decided to let go of really caring so much about what other people think/do, and look at this situation as an opportunity to sharpen my skills and get to know myself better, it is like a dam bursting - suddenly opportunities are everywhere.

Admittedly, I had planned to spend at least 2 years touring and a part of me is like "Hey! We're travelling, here!" - but a really big part of me is excited about the possibility of finding a real "home", with a full time job doing what I love. So many possibilities right now...

I had another great session with my life coach today, and one of the "homework" pieces he gave me is to find a creative project. It doesn't have to be anything huge, but something to challenge myself with. The idea is that is if I keep challenging myself to grow in small ways, the larger picture and understanding of where I ultimately want to be/doing/becoming will come more into focus.

So today I am looking forward to finding things to look forward to.
