Timing

Riding on the tracks of my last post (scroll down to "Change"), I received a phone call at 8:00 this morning. It was from my eyecare specialist. They have offered me a front desk job! My commute will be less than 10 miles away, 18 minutes from home, and ⅓ the distance of my former workplace. 

My starting wage is a few cents less than what I was earning at my last workplace, but I won't be filling up my tank 2 times a week to trek to Boise! The office is located directly off of the Interstate. I go in to observe for 2 hours this week, and I start on Monday!

The timing is even better because I am also beginning another 7-Week Keto Fast to redeem what my last job tried to steal from me. 

Gratefully,

Change

We are all familiar with the phrase "hang it up," which basically means "to quit." Interestingly, the word "change" embodies the word "hang," and frequently, change can't happen without quitting something. 

Nothing in this world would exist without change. Heraclitus was quoted as saying, "Change is the only constant in life.” Do we always welcome change? Heck no! Many people deny it, some overreact to it, while others choose to be proactive and positive.

I never dreamed that, at 61 years of age, I would be living alone. Barry passed away 1½ years ago as of August 8, 2019. I have since become an empty-nester. My previous Kia Soul, MamaKia, was totaled and MiaKia has taken her place. Change is ongoing. 

I recently quit my job. I was dealing with passive-aggressive leadership and was wary of the time it took to daily rebuild my self-esteem. Toxic spills were becoming too familiar. I continued my ketogenic lifestyle, but stress and cortisol were undermining my success with losing 41 pounds.

Quitting often gets a bad rap, but I took a jumbo-jump of faith into the unknown. Remarkably, I was rewarded with instant peace. Change is a way of honoring ourselves.
