Passion, some compassion, some humour and some style xo

I think it finally turned out to be my year. If you would have told me this time last year how different my life would be, I don't think I would have believed you. For some reason I felt tied to the place I called home, only to realize it was holding me back. Home will always be home, but I needed to spread my wings in order to grow. I knew the career change would be daunting, but I am a week away from my probation being over and things seemed to have clicked into place. I never through I would want a job that comes with so much stress and responsibility, but I was under estimating myself. 

The past nine years of the Early Years career has prepared me for this moment, slowly but surely I have built trust and relationships and started to change the culture that no one was thriving in. 

Before I took a leap, I was only surviving, but in the words of Maya Angelou: "My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor and some style." I seem to have a found a style that is working for me. 2019 and brought me back to life completely, may 2020 be a year of thriving. 

The Most Wonderful time of the Year

When I moved slightly North this summer, I didn't think the winters would be any different. However, I seem to have moved into a winter wonderland! It feels like a snow globe a few times a week, or is frosted over with a shine the sun catches, and the heavy fogs that lingers mid air almost glitters on the lake some mornings. My new job requires me to travel between sites and I just love the drives, they are probably the most relaxing moments of my week.

I have always loved Christmas, but Christmas in this new house just has cozy written all over it. Like everything I have envisioned in a home have come together. Although, I am a little ways away from home I realized something clicked recently, and this became my new home. I no longer hesitate going to a new places or greeting my new neighbours, I can't imagine where I would be or how I would be feeling if I had not made a change 5 months ago. 

Cheers to the first of many Christmas' in my new home town.
