How Appropriate

​Greetings Earthlings and other visitors...

This month's theme is New Beginnings.  I figured that my latest new beginning was this website. Believe me when I tell you it has been a bit of an obsession for the last couple of weeks.  The ever-changing vision of what I wanted it to look like, finding and overcoming the limitations of the buggy software, the many episodes of "Ooooooo look, something shiny!" Great ideas come to you at inopportune times; like when 

​you are in the shower with a head full of shampoo threatening to run into your eyes.  Or when you are driving, oh and my personal favorite 3:54 AM on more than one occasion!  All that aside, I wouldn't be doing it if I didn't enjoy it.

​​This weekend I had no concrete plans. I could spend at least one entire day getting my website ready to publish. Awesomeness!! My phone rang and everything changed.  I had a conversation that left me with several choices and many questions. At first, I was frustrated. Having to decide which life changing path to take was not on my To Do list for the week.  But as you probably know, we make plans and life intervenes. 

So, my choices...
Stay where I am and be part of a venture that I can benefit from but if I (collectively we) weren't there the powers that be would actually be happier.
Take on a similar venture that doesn't YET have the benefits of the current venture with people I know like/love and trust, where the powers that be would actually welcome us.
Branch out on my own in hopes of finding my own new venture in an arena that can make your head spin in less than 5 minutes.
The decision itself is relatively easy.  It's the millions of "what ifs" that come after the decision that can drag you down.  It's the ongoing battle with doubt that makes you second guess yourself.  It's the little kid in you that would rather go outside and play and not have to adult!

I'm choosing option # 2 - the new beginning with the similar venture.  The "what ifs" are still there; they keep me alert.  The doubt will have to be squashed occasionally.  The unknowns will always be there.  In this case the benefits outweigh the risks therefore I'm choosing growth over stagnation. I have my intelligence, my experience and a supportive group of like-minded people.  Even though I will have to adult from time to time I have possibilities.... Let's Go!
