Darn tootin'

I've been flustered as of late. Very. My stewing was a work related bit of stewing. I love working with this martial arts school. Its super rewarding in many many ways ... most of them not financially. One of the great things about the other job I had was it gave some freedom to do both. And to tkae care of what really matters first. With that being gone it was time to make some tough choices.
I had two great job offers on the table. Both on completely different ends of the spectrum. And both have been at one time my ideal dream position. Financially, I'd be set with either; I could even get my debt load reduced much quicker. It seemed a no brainer really. Yet I couldn't get to that point.

One was working with food again - but more on the creating side, in another city requiring a total relocation; which is not a bad thing.

The other was back in corporate executive world. I'd stay in the same city but travel extensively all over - mostly to places that require a passport for extended periods.
Meaning I'd have to give stuff up I want to do either. Soooo. In the end ... After thinking it all over in the ER -twice no less, I decided to turn both down. And instead take a temporary contract with no security, but enough to cover some bills short term. Not the wisest choice on paper. I kept hearing that french pigeon singing "always follow you heart... Don't stop dreaming, just keep on believing... And always follow your heart." So I keep on keeping on.

Today I was offered a partnership in a local company doing almost exactly what I was doing last year. They came to me in my continuing to be staying in action day. Not while I was hiding out being distracted, but out there being vulnerable and authentic.
Just feels good to be at the right place at the right time and found doing the right thing.

Actually it feels awesome. To be able to have all the work hard part and have rewarding fulfillment.
I do know what I'm talking about. Darn tootin'
