Someone Else’s Star

Just when I had it all figured out…or thought I had it all figured out! I’ve been remodeling my life for the past six months. I was downsizing, simplifying, refocusing, etc. I joined a counseling practice, decided to become a Pure Barre instructor, and started my own company. Sounds lovely. And now I’m being tested.

On the very day I received my EMR training and my Pure Barre contract, I also received about 20 emails and phone calls letting me know that there would be a position open in the school system that I might be interested in applying for. These were people who were quite interested in me applying. And this was the one position I’ve said for years I would apply for if and when I had the chance. Dang it.

I have only submitted my resume and cover letter, no decisions have been made yet, but it’s an interesting turn of events at a point in time when things seemed to be falling into place quite nicely. And maybe they still are, whatever happens. It’s just interesting to return to the diverging roads one more time to wonder whether I’m on the right path or just wishing on someone else’s star.
