Changes Abound!

Wow.

So in my last post I wrote about how great it was to turn in my resignation at work - even though I was scared because I didn't know what was going to happen as I didn't have another job lined up.

I am learning more and more about how we really do create our lives and how powerful we can be. I am realizing how important it is to be very clear about what we want and how important it is to focus our attention on what we want. How things are manifesting in my life as I make these changes to be more conscious and powerful blow me away!

I got clear. I made a decision. I leapt.

The day I actually, truly decided I wasn't waiting anymore (a Friday) and that I would put in my notice on Monday, I got a call for a job interview in Asheville. The day I turned in my resignation (Monday), I got a call for a job interview in Asheville. The next day (Tuesday) I got a call for a job interview in Asheville. Two days after that (Thursday), I got another call for a job interview in Asheville.

Then I got clearer. I turned down the offer for the interview I got on Monday because it was clear to me the company's philosophies and mine did not match. I went to the interview I got called for on Friday - and the salary range was not within my intention and/or requirements. So, I turned down the offer for the second interview. I wavered some on the job interview offer call I received on Thursday, I set up the interview but I just wasn't excited about the job - the salary was bordering on my intention but not quite there and it was a night shift job (it's taken me soooo many years to get my sleep on track). I finally decided, as scared as I was to turn down another offer, it just wasn't right and I wasn't going to settle for anything not right. I called and canceled the interview.

I was however, totally excited about the interview offer I received on Tuesday. A friend told me about this position and had me call the director directly. The director of the organization offered me an interview right away (I hadn't even applied, nor had she seen my resume!). The job sounded interesting and it met all the requirements in my intention. I started getting more and more excited.

I went to the interview. The director was an awesome woman - I felt instantly comfortable with her! As she described the job in more detail it only became more appealing. She then said they could offer me $2000 more in salary than was listed on the job posting. She said if I could start Nov. 1st instead of Dec. 1st they would give me the 3 days off before Thanksgiving I needed to go to Memphis and present on grief and loss for the Tennessee Counseling Association. My benefits would start in 1 month (instead of most companies 3 months). I had some flexibility in hours so I can do massage school in March. I would get supervision provided for licensure and lots of free continuing education hours that I need.

She officially offered me the job on the spot! I accepted on the spot as well!

I also put a deposit down on the apartment I liked that very day! The next day I went and gave a revised notice to my current job - my last day is Halloween!

I am now busy making plans to move and getting things organized! Life is crazy and miraculous and wonderful!
