So, yeah, this has been a really great week. Actually things in general have been really great for me. I am LOVING my new condo, and so happy to be in my own place. I am out quite a lot, but when I am home, I am constantly aware of how much 'at home' I truly feel. I had a little condo warming party last Saturday, and the evening is a great memory, that brought a lot of great energy to my space.
I was pursuing a promotion at work, that was confirmed this week. I am now a Home and Auto Account Manager, supporting our Group portfolio at RBC. The promotion means I move up a pay band (more $), I get 4 weeks vacation, a laptop, and my base bonus doubles. More importantly, I have a new job that is exciting, challenging, has travel opportunities and a lot of growth potential. I couldn't be more pleased!!!
My dear friend Susan gave birth to a bouncing baby girl on Wednesday July 30th at 11:16am. Ainsley Grace Innis weighed in at a healthy 9lbs 2oz., both Susan and Ainsley are doing well, and are glad to be home from the hospital. All the very best to both Susan and Lance!
I heard somewhere once, that life happens in 7 year cycles. It's funny, because I 'came out' on July 25th, 7 years ago this year. The past 7 years have been eventful to say the least. I lost 215lbs, divorced, 'came out', and started a new career. Wow, it was a whole lot, and at times, quite honestly it was bloody overwhelming. I struggled at times, with darkness that I thought would never go away. I think I felt that I should 'be' at certain places with in my life, that I was not, and was hard on myself for the shortfalls.
Today I can honestly say that I am basking in light! Most of those gaps have been closed and as I approach my 40th birthday, feel a greater sense of alignment (placement in my life), and greater sense of who I am. I have many many blessings in my life!
I wonder what the next 7 years hold for me??? Things could get very interesting!
Although the last 7 years were a struggle at times, I wouldn't change a single day. I am, and always was, EXACTLY where I was suppose to be!
Cheers Universe! and Thanks~
