not quitting as much as letting go

Yesterday I boldly resigned from my job, effective October 1st! It was a pretty nerve racking conversation to have. I didn't enjoy knowing that I would create a little turbulence for my boss and the organization, but it was something I needed to do. I have been looking for jobs and being too scared to take care of myself. I had a million excuses for staying, but what it came down to was: a force larger than the little Kari compelled me. A mini culmination occurred. It was the right thing to do. I need to use my powers for something else other than arts administration, me thinks.
Luckily I have the support of a few people who see this as a positive thing instead of me going crazy...though either could potentially be true of course, as always. ;)
Where will I go from here? I sure as heck don't know, but I am a lot more excited right now with the thought of moving on to something else in a month. Do I regret getting a degree in Music Business? NO! Not one bit. I learned and am still learning on every conceivable level...which may only be one...but anyway, the point is, I don't regret things. That is ridiculous. I love them and learn from them. When the loving changes, I change directions. So that is what happened. It feels so good to let go.
Pretty exciting huh? Anyone hiring? :)

Kari,
I think it's awesome. You followed the inner promptings, and that means there's another door already open for you… now you just have to follow your heart to find it and walk right through it into your next adventure. If you thought it was TIME, it was TIME. Enjoy the ride, sister! You can't go wrong. They're all just stepping stones. Do a little dance along a way. (o: ~Kris
I wish I had a job to offer you! It would be a pleasure to have you around all of the time. Go forth and find your heart and your passion (ever think about being a writer? Of course you have! I read your goals!
Kris and Gary, thanks for the encouraging comments! Following the heart and tuning in to passion is exactly what this is about. So stay tuned! And I will officially be available for hire beginning October 2nd…so everyone just keep that in the back of your brain. :) Have a great day!
