So cliche I know, but oh so true. Everything does indeed happen for a reason and timing is everything. The funny thing about those statements is, as you are going through the motions you have no idea why they are happening. It’s often hard to stay optimistic when something bad are happening and remember that everything happens for a reason.

A few weeks ago I was offered a job out of this city, it’s a HUGE opportunity for my career. When I first started this blog, I shared with you that since my trip this past summer I wanted everything to be new again. I think this is all very funny now because I know that if I hadn’t let go of the love of my life, I would not even consider this move. I know that if I didn’t go on the trip this past summer and get over my fear of change and fear of taking risks, this opportunity probably would not have presented itself in my life. The best part is, I didn’t go looking for it. Timing is everything, this opportunity came knocking because I was finally ready for it. That’s the way I like to look at it.

There is a blessing in every situation, sometimes you may not know what it is right away but trust that one day you will see the good in the situation that caused you pain. You will see the lesson.

I am in the negotiating process now, I think everything is going really well. I can’t help but look back on the last 6 months and think of all the heartache I was having this summer and how necessary it was for me to go through that, to be ready for this opportunity to get to the next level.  All those moments this past summer, all those moments throughout my career that proved to test me were all to bring me to this moment. The moment to rise about them all. The best part about having broken heel moments, is knowing that one day all those broken heels, brought you to the moment you waited for your whole life. The moment you get to step out on your own.
