Best part of a snow day!

It's just right

Towards the end of January I was in a deep funk. I was happy with nothing in my life. I was hating where I live, hating my social life or lack there of, hating my financial problems, hating my job, and hating myself. Great way to start year right?

While driving home from work one night I suddenly got an idea. "What if I leave my current job, move to the city, and hope I get another dance job while working other jobs to make ends meet?" Just as soon as I this crossed my mind, I'm no longer unhappy. I suddenly feel at peace and excited. It's time for something new. I'm going to make the change happen. I won't let it happen to me. Could it have been more clear that this is the right decision?

Lately all I can think about it me living in my little NYC studio apt and working as a dancer. This idea could not make me happier. So it's happening. My lease here in NJ is up at the end of August, and then it's off to NYC.

I have been networking with old friends and making new friends along the way. My first friend that I contacted was the perfect person to hear from. He is always incredibly supportive and positive. Once again making it clear that this is the right decision.

Then today at work, the chair of the board came to see the dancers to inform us that as of March 28th the company will no longer exist. That's 21 very talented dancers now out of work. Cutting our contract short by 6 week, and they have no intention of paying us the rest of the money we are owed. That's an entire other topic I'm not even getting into now. So now I don't even have an option of returning here next season for work. Another clear sign that my decision was correct. However today was a rough day, seeing all of my friends and colleagues upset, distraught, and stressed. I hope to never have to experience this again.

Looks like this new chapter of my life will be starting soon than I had expected. It's all for the best in my situation.

Here's to jumping and trusting something great is there when I land!!!
