So this is my last week at work. "Just like Oprah", my sister commented.
After three years of working in both California and New York (and with one of my best friends Greta to create a new 'green' division), I'm leaving my marketing agency to join a large environmental NGO next month.
It's been bittersweet to say 'be seeing you' to the people I see and work closely with every day, my clients, and Uma our office pug. Though every time I think about the new opportunity, I feel like doing cartwheels - I'm just so excited about it!
It's hard to predict when change happens. Even if you're 'ready for a change', in my experience I don't think it arrives on your timetable. It's often caught me off guard, or happened only after something I really, really wanted to have happen, didn't.
It's hard to know when to let go of whatever river bank you're holding on to, to jump back into the stream.
Though I think when you feel 'it' inside, you can't ignore it. You just have to close your eyes, plug your nose perhaps...
And jump!
FRAULEIN!
