And it begins with an ending.....

Today is my last day at a job I've had for 4 years.  How do I feel?

Excited!  Duh!  Although I have learned a great deal in my position with Wachovia, it is time for this career to take a leap of faith.  I will miss the comfort, the consistency that was present.  Even more so the comfortability.  But it is that comfortability that has caused me to look forward.

Monday I will start with Wells Fargo.  Although I'll be working Uptown for a while for training, my office will be in Plano, TX.  That's right, I said it.  I'M MOVING!  This has been a long time coming though, if you were not already aware of my initial intentions.

Anyway, I'm nervous, a new job, new people, new places.  As a military child, I guess I thrive off of what I'm calling a New Beginning.  At the same time, I guess you can say I'm anxious because Lord knows I don't want to fall flat on my face in the coming days, weeks, months, etc.  But I know I will, in usual "Jazlyn" form.  I guess the real question is, how graceful can I be in the midst of it all?

I guess above it all, I feel accomplished.  How can you not be excited about that?  My excitement is driven by 5 things:
1.  A New Job - The experience, the exposure, the sky is the limit it feels like.
2.  A New Beginning - Yes I'll be far from my family I have spent the last 4 years getting so close to.  But hopefully soon, this new beginning will be that of my own family as well.
3.  Change in Focus - Not to say I was doing too much, but it is apparent that over the years I have engrossed myself in so many organizations and endeavors.  I get to cut free and focus on myself.  The first item on the agenda, the gym!
4.  My Business - With all the new time on my hands, I will finally be able to finish my business plan and focus on my business.  Business actually has been booming lately, so I need to make sure I'm fully prepared for the next rush (Christmas).
5.  Me - God has been telling me all that he expects of me.  I feel like I may have disappointed him, but some how I know that my falters were expected of me.  As I would like to think God puts it, "Your stumbles wake you up.  You've become too comfortable in this walk, you're losing  your touch.  Let's change it up a bit."  I like to think God continues to challenge me as a coach challenges his players.  You're accomplished a and b, now lets look at c and d.  No room for complacency of course.

So with the ending to this life here in Charlotte, I look forward to my new beginning in hopes that it will be just as exciting as the old life was....
