Oh my God Peg! everything came together just the way it was supposed to. it never ceases to amaze me that no matter how much we plan and project, things fall out as they should. i am such a planner so it has been interesting for me to let go of that "plan" little by little. I am thrilled for you. High Five girl!
Goals: 1. Enjoy life! 2. Be aware, be awake, pay attention. 3. One word 2010: faith

Peg- So glad to hear about your house news!! Moving can be so stressful, but it sounds like you have it all together! Best of luck to you! As far as the new job front-it will happen. My life is spent finding jobs for people and it takes time-but finding the right job is just a matter of patience and determination! Jill
I have no specific goal(s) right now. I am trying to find the spiritual side of myself that I lost somewhere along the way.
Congrats to Iz! Sorry the job didn't work out Susan...was hoping for that to work for you but I'm sure there's a reason it hasn't. Welcome back Beth!
Wanted to post an update for everyone and not sure where the best place is but it's mostly career related so here it is!
I've had a BIG week! I put my house on the market on 1/10 expecting it to be a long haul to sell (up to 6 mos or more) and it sold in 9 days!!! So, I put an offer in today on a house I've chosen down in the Denver metro area about 10 min from my Dad's house and back in my hometown. I'm really excited about being back down there and I'm just thrilled with the house and hope I can get it. The house is all I will ever need and I'm looking forward to settling in for the long haul. If not, my 2nd and 3rd choices are good choices too. The offer on my house even worked out to have a 60 day closing so it was even better because I really did kind of get caught off guard.
Needless to say, I haven't found a new job yet. I figured I'd get the house on the market and start looking but it sold before I had a chance. So I put in a request to telecommute all but 2 days per week and that was approved yesterday. I'm thrilled. I think I'll be able to find someone to stay one night a week up here so that will mean only one round trip a week but even if I can't work that out, it's still comparable to how much I've been going back and forth anyway. I'm planning to do this until at least July 1st and then I'll take another look at things and decide about a job search then.
For all the frustration not being able to get this all done in 2007 caused, it has ultimately turned out in my favor at least on the housing side of things. My 2nd choice house has been on the market since 9/06 and has come down $20k in asking price. It's a crazy market. I'm soooo grateful to have broken even on my house.

yahoo! thanks for introducing me to The Secret, Sheri.
CONGRATS!!!!! And you are quite welcome. I'm SO glad that it worked well for you! I was just wondering last night how you were doing with your affirmations and other "Secret stuff" so this is especially wonderful to hear today!

Thanks ladies for the welcome back! Susan, I'm sorry about the job...I hope the changes at your current job do make it easier and more pleasant until the one you really want and deserve comes along. I had a better day today. We manage a business in addition to caring for my bf's mom so there is never enough hours in the day to get things done right now. I know I will get through this though. The most important thing is to get her better. She showed a slight improvement today.
Susan, I'm sorry to hear about the job but I know the right one for you will be knocking on your door soon!
Beth-welcome back and I hope that by coming back here you can find some support and strength. It is a very big responsibility to be a caregiver to someone so ill, sending you positive vibes.

Just checking in to report that I didn't get the job I interviewed for a couple of weeks ago. I'm disappointed, but I think I'll be OK. Some changes at my current job may make things a little easier for a while.
That's the bad news -- the good news is, evoogirl is back! I remember you, Beth, and I'm so sorry to hear you've been having a hard time. You are nurturing and caring for everyone but yourself -- and you need it and deserve it as much as anyone. I hope posting here is your first step in paying more attention to you.
And I love your new screen name. It can be "Beth in GA" or "Be Thin GA." I read it the second way the first time!
