and the universe replied...

my friend & co-worker, O, taught me about the
energy that is the universe. she taught me that
one of the ways to find answers to your
inner conflicts and confusions is to
release your needs, frustrations, joys, etc., to the universe.
And sure enough, it will respond in the way that you need it to.

last week, i released to the universe
my decision
to look for other job opportunities.

i love what I do, but not under the circumstances
that I do it in.
it is not that I am not down for the struggle of
this enormous task. The challenges are exciting.
However, i feel that i was set up for failure
even before I started this job,
and i continue to be in this predicament (along with my other co-workers)
because our practices continue to perpetuate
this rickety infrastructure.

Nevertheless, the universe responded...

- with an opportunity at my ex-co-worker's organization
- With another opportunity at my other ex-co-worker's organization
- with a potential opportunity in the new organization that my friend is now Executive Director of
- with an opportunity to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones at today's I-Hotel Grand Opening Ceremony

Right now, I just want to give thanks, sincere heartfelt thanks,
to the powers that be
for sending me the message that
I am not stuck...
For the message that there is a whole world of opportunities out there,
with more positive, healthy work environments
and other individuals who can postively affect my life and
foster my personal & professional development.

It was a message that I really needed to hear.
