Maybe I need to start listening! Moving to Florida from New England has been a really big change. We left that North East culture and came to something totally different. We left a winter wonderland filled with ice and headed for the balmy breezes of the south. We left our jobs, Roberto’s girls and dear friends to start over and have a clean slate. We craved change and we decided to go big!
Whenever I move to a new place, I usually always have a job beforehand. This time, I just decided to wing it. I had some money saved and I thought it would be a breeze for me to find a job. Not so. Since I got here, I have applied for over 25 jobs in my field. I got called for 2 interviews, and neither place offered me the job. I got really bummed out. This was strange. Usually I get offers for most jobs I apply for….Had I lost my mojo?
During this same time, I started this blog in earnest, because it is my baby step towards the life I want to lead - as a world traveler and writer. I have had more fun writing and researching and setting up this blog than anything I have done for a long time. I am in my element and I love it! I have always loved writing, but hadn’t the time for it for many years. Now it feels like I have all the time in the world to just write and write and write.
The number of visitors to my page went from 0 (where it sat for 6 months) to over 50 in one day in less than a week’s time.
I am a firm believer that there are no accidents and no coincidences. I decided before we came down here that I wanted things to be different, I didn’t want to get stuck in the same ruts that I was in before. I wanted a change and I wanted it to be drastic…..so is The Universe talking to me and showing me the path I should be on?………I guess time will tell……..

Thank you as always, Roberto, for being there for me and with me through all these journeys. It just wouldn’t be the same without you!
Thanks for stopping by Carmella and for your kind words. They mean a lot coming from someone who has lots of experience in what I want to do. I am keeping the faith!

Jenn.
You’re so right and so lucky to have the awareness in you to notice that you may have been given a sign to take another path.
It is so important to follow your heart. What you feel inside are your true dreams. Just don’t succumb to any feelings of fear or doubt, which in my case always arise when the subject of financial security rears it’s ugly head to get in the way of my aspirations!
Good luck.

Hi Rob!
Thanks for stopping by!
I absolutely hear what you are saying in regards to following your heart being scary. But I know I need to keep doubt out of my mind and to really listen to my instincts. And they are saying “GO FOR IT!” at the moment. So I am going….
Thank you for your words of encouragement. It is always nice to get pearls of wisdom from unexpected places!
Thank You and best of luck with all your life’s endeavors!
