The end of this chapter..

I did it! I resigned from the company that I have been working for for 11 years.
I will be starting my new job on the 1st of April.
Feelings?
Anticipation!
Excitement!
a Little bit of fear - I think the healthy kind..:-)
And . .I am very impatient! I want to finish up with this moving business!
I will be moving to a town in the Eastern Cape. I will miss the luxuries of the city and the friends that I have made in the 16 years that I have lived in Bloemfontein. I will be moving back to my hometown though...so the landing on that side will be extremely soft...my parents..my brother..my sister..my best friend...all stay there and they have all promised to make the landing as soft as possible.
My daughter will be going to the same school I went to as a child, we will be going to the same church..what more could I ask for?

If you ever wondered if the concepts as explained in "The Secret" are the truth, then I can now tell you that they are. Thoughts become things. I just believe that all this is brought about by a living, loving God - as described in the Bible...He truly wants the best for His children as described in John 10:10.

I want to thank the Lord for knowing exactly what my life would entail, what roads I would travel and people I would meet. For protecting me every single second of every single day and for making my heart so full of joy that it wants to burst! Looking at what my new job would entail, I realise that He as been preparing me for years and years..

To all the friends I leave behind.. I will not be further away than a call or an e-mail. I promise to stay in touch as best I can..I just wonder if my new job in the private sector will allow me much time!!

To all the ones that I have said goodbye to last week..

The guys at work...you really are the best! Thanks for the wonderful gift. I appreciate it more than you know. I had the pleasure of working with you for one short year and still you made me feel so special!

To AKD and LR...dinner at New York was fabulous. I will miss our ladies nights.

To rObC and the wonderful new lady in his life..E (Moondancer) - thank you for a wonderful braai and all the trouble you went through to make the evening so memorable..I believe that our paths will definitely cross again next to a Motocross track or Off-Road Race somewhere in South Africa!

To all the people who have looked at me with sceptical eyes at the news of my resignation..yes the future is uncertain but I will not let fear of the unknown or negative words spoken over my future hold me back. I know that the Lord has given me this new direction in my life and why would I fear your eyes or thoughts when I have the Almighty on my side. I praise Him for all that I am and will become. I now know joy!

To Florence Thom who one day said:

Every person should have at least three careers in their lifetime..

Thank you Florence. I doubt that you will remember my name or face, but I took your words to heart.

and then one final quote that struck me as SO real, in my life particularly...and as I look back I see that it was only my inner fears that kept me from greater heights.

I forgive myself for having believed for so long that... I was never good enough to have, get, be what I wanted.
Ceanne DeRohan

Speak to you soon, to start off the next chapter!

Life is too short.

Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets.

So, love the people who treat you right,

forget about the ones who don't,

and believe that everything happens for a reason.

Know a good thing when you see it,

and don't let it slip away.

If you get a chance, take it.

If it changes your life, let it.

Nobody said it would be easy,

they just said it would be worth it!

Thank you Liezel for that one..

The Adventure

Ever slip reality for a while to go on an awesome adventure??
The Universe was right..every thought can become reality.
I LOVE my life!
In light of my soon to be taken adventure, a theme song..
