Have I told you about my new job?  I quit the whole law thing.  It just wasn't my personality.  You see, about a month and a half ago after being extremely burned out, I gave notice of quitting.  I thought I would pursue a solo photography career, focus on my blog, and get a part-time retail job at JCrew or something.  I was nervous and stressed, with thoughts of, what's next?  But a little lesson I've learned?  When you are busy making plans, the Universe is making plans for you.  Maybe the plans are out of synch with your own, which can be a struggle.  But sometimes, as in this case - plans magically align.
The timing was perfect.  And the steps leading up to it were a crazy web of connections over a course of several years.  It's a definitive point in my life, where I can say, if I didn't do this, this, this or this, I wouldn't have this current opportunity.  And it all started with a boy.  It usually does, but I digress. 
I am now in my second week on the creative team for a local jewelry company, working as a photographer/stylist.  I am excited to work, and for what's ahead.
Sometimes, I think we put so much stress on where we are in life, at least I do!  Like, I need to figure it out at this very moment.  But there is a natural process and progression to life; a series of steps we need to walk through in order to reach the prizes along the way.  There are ups, there are downs, and there are periods of lulls.  But it's through these moments that life is unfolding its' mysteries.  I think we just have to move forward with the faith that our stories are going to work out.  And not the way we expect it to.  But better.  Much better.  There's a greater plan to it all.  So keep walking, keep living, and don't forget the direction of your dreams.  I know I won't.
